A must watch documentary especially now when the biggest cult in the world (Christianity) is celebrating their fantasy story about the creator of the universe. See how this cult is infiltrating politics and influencing decisions that affect all of us.
Terrible.
Us, as humans, have a lot to celebrate if we look at the reality around us. Evolution, DNA, stars, the universe. We are all part of the same real and amazing story. Time to let go of these silly fantasies.
They are yet another religious cult. And the documentary talks a lot about religious leaders pushing for the USA to help Israel fight the "enemy", the nonbelivers. And in a way it is funny because from a Christian perspective Jews are also nonbelivers, so the documentary has a lot to do with the Jewish cult too.
EDIT: And to be clear I am referring to the religious jews in my comment above when I call them a cult. As I understand "jews" can also mean many other things en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews non religious.
Several storms hit Spain for almost a month. Raining, clouds, cold and wind. We decided to go to a motorhome parking in Alcaracejos and stay there for several days to wait for the storm to calm down. We put a lot of strain on our batteries and our patience 😄.

Our chat.trom.tf (Matrix/Synapse) has become very difficult to manage - growing database, not an easy way to prevent bots from registering, or others from abusing our service.
For now we have closed the registrations and only accept them via requests. We have 460 users but we are thinking to perhaps shut down the entire service this year.
Too much work considering anyone can make trade-free accounts with matrix.org or other providers....
We will keep everyone informed about our future plans.
Maybe move to Nextcloud Talk since we already have an instance of that. And we may make use of that for file sharing too. It is a neat tool for teams. But we may look into XMPP too.
I understand. I hope they can add encryption to the chats...but on the other hand if anyone gains access to our server and is able to read that "text file" in the backend, we are screwed anyway since we host a lot of services on or trom.tf. Including Friendica which is not encrypted....
So yes, I do prefer an encrypted chat, but things must be put into perspective. Our Nextcloud instance at trom.tf already provides encrypted files/folders for all users, so at least we have that.
The project was actually in Netherlands. But it was very expensive to stay and fly there. Luckily we have a friend Matthias who lives in Belgium and it turned out that he is quite close to the Netherlands border. Matthias also our Patreon and super kind and generous guy, so we stayed at his place. Sometimes that's the only option to film and volunteer is to stay at friends and save as much as we can. Because otherwise it won't be possible to participate in a projects so frequently. Kind of similar to the life of underground musician :)
Anyway, we rented a tiny car in Charleroi airport, because there was no other way to get to the different locations in Nether

Anyway, we rented a tiny car in Charleroi airport, because there was no other way to get to the different locations in Netherlands + during the night. It was ok, but super tiny :)
And during day we were at Matthias and Belgium and in the evenings went to Netherlands.
Traditional Belgium fries :) That's the way they do it, you order large portion, they put a lot of fries, really a lot of them in the tiny box. It was o much fries, we took them with us, and still couldn't finish them in 2 days :)
Mara really wanted to see tulips and we were driving around Zeeland (an area in Netherlands) to search for them, and we found them
Anyway the project was about Glass eels, and it's very complex situation and topic. We were fishing them with a net, then inject color tags on them and later release them back. In short their population had declined in Northern see for 99% !!!!!! In the last 40 or so years.
So we were on a mission to save them. It was night work, dirty, cold and slippery, but it was worth it.
So now I will start making the video, and meanwhile we have another projects lined up. If you would like to support us, join us on Patreon : patreon.com/BeBraveToAct
I am very happy that you followed TIO's advice by sharing your real experience of joining these projects. It helps people find more meaningful ideas and build stronger connections with each other. Sharing pleasures on social media actually creates DISCONNECTION. Keep the enjoyment between the two of you—don’t share it publicly! Write a blog to satisfy yourself, and people will naturally discover you. #indeaweb
We visited for free this amazing cave. I think it has the tallest formation of stalactites in the world. 32 meters.
There are people in these photos if you look carefully :D
In this care there were people living some 25.000 years ago. Nuts! And cave hyenas. And they discovered cave paintings there that could be the oldest in all human species history, some 42.000 years ago made by Neanderthals. But still they need to confirm this.
Mind blowing experience. You have to visit this cave if you can. Put it on your bucket list. The photos do no justice to how amazing the experience was. And from 9:30 every day they provide free tickets if you manage to book them.
I feel like this video is an important one to share. I'm glad he also shed some light on the importance of publicly funded research, people don't seem to realize just how much of the science that comes out of private companies are built on studies from academia.
The usual updates plus: We have removed the package qt6gtk2-git and replaced with qt6gtk2. The git version was maintained by someone who was calling himself a “Russian troll” And the project was archived anyway.
We ended up in a place that was used for cultish rituals (aka: religion). Tens of big trash bins, lots and lots of garbage, fire pits...and signs about "virgins". Except that, the place was quiet and still ok 😃.

Maybe you can start it first per tribe, then expand globally.
Goal: humans should not have to trade in order to survive in this society. Since this creates a tsunami of problems for people and the rest of this planet. (source)
Plan:
Basic needs trade-free.
Make the most basic needs services trade-free. Healthcare, transportation, shelter, basic food, access to Internet (information and communication). You can do that through taxes, through volunteers, through all sort of means. Many tribes already provide some of these as trade-free, like in Europe a lot of the healthcare systems are like that. Not difficult!

Basic Income.
Since this world still relies on trades (money), and people may have different sort of needs and definitely wants, give everyone a basic income (say 1.000 dollars a month) with no strings attached. You can do it again through taxes, via the removal of so many institutions and resources dedicated to track people and check if they are eligible for benefits, and all of the paperwork nonsense that has been created around this. No more "benefits", no more "pensions". Forget about labeling people as employed or unemployed in regards to who should be helped.
That is it!
Now you will have a bunch of humans who KNOW they are taken care of. They KNOW that if they get sick they should only worry about that health problem and not a financial problem. They KNOW that they wont starve or end up on the street. They know they are SAFE.
On top of this, with the money you give them monthly, they can have some power and focus on doing some useful things in this society. At least some will, if not many.
This can grow up over time into a saner society of humans who can refuse to work for bullshit companies, or do any bullshit jobs. A world in which humans have the time to decide what to focus on, who to "vote" for, stay informed and properly inform others.
A world where scientists or journalists should not worry about their livelihood. So they can do their "jobs" properly.
We deserve and need this world. Else there is no intelligent species on this planet.
These are the places I love the most. Kinda alone. Nature. Peaceful.
Today we got another Abuse report from the hosting company. I think I am quite sure there was something bad with our server, namely with our Synapse (Matrix) server. It was accessing iPs from outside every second or so. Lots and lots of requests. After investigating we realized we had around 500 guest users. These users do not need an email account/registration to be part of the server. We enabled that a while ago. Bad decision.
We nuked them all today. Now hopefully that was the issue and many of these were bots spamming other Mat

We need to think well about the services we provide for TROM.tf because they can be abused...
Hopefully this fixes the issue with the hosting.
These days/weeks I have to work on a new WebApe project, to make some money, so I will have to delay any creative work I planned to do. But if this new project can be done then I will get more monthly financial support, which is something I really need.
And after it is done I can think of new content to create for TROM.
I wish TROM had enough financial support so I can only focus on TROM... tromsite.com/donate
But well.
Anyway, we will stay in this place for a few days so I can do some work. We have unlimited internet and power from the sun. And we will post new videos here videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide… - new one tomorrow :)
In this part of Spain (Fuencaliente, Portollano) we found so much trash it is incredible. Such a shame to see this waste. We tried to clean this park a bit but....

description:
For decades, scientists have tried to unlock the secrets of ancient DNA. But life’s genetic blueprint is incredibly fragile, and researchers have struggled to find genetic material in fossils that has survived for millions of years. Then, one maverick scientist had the controversial idea of looking for DNA not in fossils or frozen ancient tissue – but in the soil.
This film follows the scientists deciphering the oldest DNA ever found and revealing for the first time the genes of long-extinct creatures that once thrived in warm, lush Arctic landscapes.
Very well made video. I like when Mara narrates actually, it is quite easy to listen/follow. Plus maybe you can focus more on what you film, edit, the story?
Very interesting project. But I was also wondering how do they support the project? How did you guys join them? Did you pay? Did they train all of those other people for free?

What It’s REALLY Like on a Dolphin Research Expedition
Mara first time ever joined Dolphin research expedition in France together with NGO Miraceti. If you want join such expedition go to : ttps://miraceti.org/

They have some funds and grants. But also part of the funding comes from volunteers who joins their missions or go trough the training. Normally you have to pay, but since we were making video we paid only for the food on board.
Ya I know it is a link, I clicked it, it was in french. Could not figure it out how they make money or if these volunteers have to pay to participate. All Im saying is that for your videos would be useful to include some basic info about this - because both I and Sasha were wondering after seeing the video if you guys had to pay for the training for example.
Psychology is like recycling, you think it is working, but it is not. Never addresses the core problem. So easy to put people into categories and call them "sick". Works well for a livestock society. Best excuse to never touch the system in both cases. Continue recycling...continue labeling people as mentally ill. And let the system survive....
Truth is the opposite. It is this trade-based society that makes people mentally sick, and if we want to change that we have to change the society, not adjust the people to it.
It was so great to meet with these wonderful people in the South of Spain. Thank you for coming to meet with us. Great time, great friends, great memories 😃
Me managed to fit 6 people in a 5.5m long motorhome
