Now that I got my driving license, after 8 months of torture, I can plan ahead.
Ideally for the next 2 or so months I will work a few days a week in cleaning to make some money for the motorhome, then try to finish the 2 articles/videos/books I am working on right now, Culture Cancer and one about Tests in general, this idea that you can test people to see if they can drive, be doctors, or whatever. This livestock-mentality that in many cases may be full of bullshit. Oh and the one about The Internet.
I am so happy and relieved to get over this bullshit driving license thing. Now I can focus on something else. I will push on TROMing :) for sure. May be very slow for these next months since we are busy with the "making money for a motorhome" project, but TROM is not just here to stay, it is here to become more than it is today. We have lots to talk about and lots to do with the project. I wrote quite a bit for the Culture Cancer and gathered quite a bit of info about the other books/articles/videos, whatever they end up in the end.

The more money you have to pay for the Driving License, The more money you have to make on the Job.
The more you work, the more you need a car.
The more cars we have, the harder the driving school will become.
The harder the schools become, The more money you have to pay for the Driving License. 🔄

We now have 6 servers dedicated to transcoding/transcribing our Peertube videos https://videos.trom.tf - thanks to @Alexio who is providing 4 of them! Peertube is now a complete replacement for Youtube and I will make sure to push it a lot more in terms of use and promotion! We need to get people to use it, else without content, it won't go anywhere....

I like your Web Feature, 😊 on https://www.tromjaro.com/de/?tpedit=1
Where People can pick a language and translate a whole page (step by step) without registration and communication
Which is super cool 😎
Also when you're translating You can see the tips with the original English text, so you always know, what meant this sentence before.

You know how some people complain about the stability of Linux for desktops and how, you know, it may not be reliable, especially Arch. What about Manjaro + Arch. How about a system based on Arch but with Manjaro's repos + the Chaotic AUR repo?
Well stable as a mountain! Using TROMjaro for many years now and despite doing a lot of updates, all works perfectly fine. Long gone are the days of being afraid to do the updates. This is my experience.
I 100% rely on my laptop for a lot of daily use uses. I need it to work! And it does!
So happy about that.

Here's a terribly depressing documentary - https://www.videoneat.com/documentaries/26170/dead-calm-killing-in-the-med/
About how boats with immigrants are sent back, capsized, and so on, just to prevent them from reaching Europe. Treating people like pigs used for consumption. Like meat.
But don't worry we have laws in place to prevent this....

I generally agree with the sentiment that reality is far more interesting than fiction, but horror movies are different tho. Only reason I'm able to enjoy watching horror movies is 'cause I know it's just acting and that the people are safe, but if you show me footage of actual people dying that will make me depressed 💀
Horror is one of those rare genres that's better enjoyed as fiction 😅 'cause real horror is just sad and depressing, none of this shit should be happening 😞
The idiots on planet Earth, busy with their dramas, hate, divisions, borders, competition. While they have global problems and common needs.
Their most popular news and activities should be about the wonderful rock they are lucky to be on. The creatures, the places, themselves. There are entire universes inside all of us. Inside even a single cell. There are endless stars and planets out there.
Intelligent species you say!?
Show must go on! The Caesar Roman general was nearly assassinated so now we can gossip, talk, debate, and be busy with this story for months or years. Some empire attacked another killing hundreds of thousands. Have you heard about the wife of the emperor cheating on him?
2024 is the same as 2024 BC. Same shit. Wars, conflicts, gossip, decimation of other creatures and destruction of the environment.
Same idiots, only that now we have internet, electricity and airplanes.

A kind request: make videos without music in the background when people are talking. Or at least an option not to have music when people are talking.
It makes the videos accessible for people who are hard of hearing or suffer sensory overload.

I've watched, but I find more crazier that after this documentary nothing followed. No arrests, all of the people trading arms and drugs can easily continue.... That's so fucked up.
The most dramatic moment for me was when they went to buy an island and told the local people that their going to build a hospital for them. When in fact their own people planned to evict all of them from that island. That was very sad...

Oh yah that was so fucked up even those guys undercover felt like shit doing it even if it was fake and they would not buy an island. Imagine how many such situations happen globally and we hear nothing about. Fucked up.

Yah but I was not surprised honestly. Maybe only surprised because of that Spanish guy who is free and living in Barcelona/Tarragona. But the rest are from N Korea or some African countries, and no one would touch those. UN took notice after this documentary and "did some stuff" idk what....put some people on their "bad list" or idk.

Hello people and many apologies but for the past few months Google (Gmail) has been blocking our verification emails for our Peertube instance https://videos.trom.tf and thus many users were unable to complete the registration. We were wondering why so many people register but do not confirm their registration.
Many apologies.
Now we have temporarily removed the email verification and we are trying to fix the issue with Google. You can register again, and as we always ask please respect the instance's thematic: videos in English and keep them scientific/educational/tech.
Cheers

The real question is will the adults accept this verification process? This just sounds like a privacy nightmare! 😐
IMO the biggest issue with porn is that it's so fake and unrealistic, and that's not in itself a problem but it becomes one if the person watching thinks it's real. I've heard somewhere that watching porn and thinking it's real sex is like is like watching martial arts on TV and thinking that's how a real fight looks like, lol 😂 Maybe the real solution here is proper sex education, something to think about..... 🤔

You should survive man. I like your books. I think I've red almost all of them.
Videos might be very cool too, but the amount of work and effort is much more. It's like anyway to create a book first (to make a script) and then film and edit it and put some nice b-roll and extra shot. Massive amount.
Sometime me and Mara speaking about how you regardless to anything keep going. Seems always you find a motivation somewhere. I know you told me this many times that you just immerse yourself in work and that's helps you regardless the outcome and results. But still man, you are badass just keeping yourself motivated going trough this fucked up society.
I am loosing it so often, because quite often everything you are doing seems so pointless, and no one really care. And each time it's harder and harder to get up and keep going, because what we do is important. It is important nevertheless what society and our culture find valuable or not.
Recently I noticed you are more frustrated, I hope you will get trough this period. Just keep going man.

I'd say the two are a lot of work but in different ways. Designing a book, proofreading, sourcing, and making huge books overall, takes so much time as you know. But yah, will see probably that's why I am very frustrated and depressed this period of time since I am not busy with the things I love doing. However I started to write again and that makes me feel a lot better.
Thanks for the support and for continuing with your stuff. Like I told you before I thought you'd give up in less than a year. You exceeded all of my expectations and thats great :). It is damn hard to get 0 support from the society for the things that you do, plus the almost impossibility to reach people nowadays.
I am sure that after this bullshit season is over, in about 3 months, things will be a lot better for me/us. You know how crazy this little town is in the summer....but it is the last summer here for us, so at least that makes it easier to deal with it.

That's a total bummer to see you struggling with this fucking world so much, my friend 😔 I hope it'll soon pass for you, even though, you're absolutely correct that our lives aren't that long. I feel myself unmotivated and tired all the time from my job as well and I can't figure out how to squeeze in anything more sane and useful into my life. It's sad we have to fight for it, even though we have so many ideas and real passion to do beautiful things..
But I'm glad to see that you aren't giving up and it gives me hope too 😌 You aren't alone in this and I'll help you whenever I can. Awesome that you're considering a campaign for the TROMhome, I'll gladly participate, you can count on me 😉
