Help me pay for my "tromhome" yearly insurance - gofundme.com/f/help-me-pay-for…

Every year I have to pay around 600€ for the car insurance. This car is not just a car, is my only home. Is the place from where I create all of the TROM projects. From content, to VideoNeat, TROMjaro, TROMnews, TROM.tf and many more.

See what I do here tromsite.com/ and here tiotrom.com/projects/

This past year has been an absolute nightmare for me. Health issues, my girlfriend left me, financial problems, etc.. I was able to support myself via the monthly donations I get from TROM, barely, but now being alone I cannot afford these big expenses. So I have to ask for help,

It's always like that, and I hate asking for this sort of help, but is not much I can about.

Thank you to anyone who can help out. If a miracle happens and I get more than this amount then I can fix some problems with the car, like the front suspensions that cost a lot of money (650€ ...), or buy a new window (big one) for the camper because the one I have is cracked and it rains inside of it.

At least I hope to raise the money to pay for the insurance. My savings are around 1.000 Euros (maybe) and I can pay for it from that, but then I am too close to being totally broke. I need some savings in case of emergency situations.

Ok. That's all.

I hope that if people appreciate the work I do for TROM they can help me a bit financially so I can continue, as people are the reason I can still do these things.

I appreciate it!

Very good video from Veritasium about that big backdoor issue on Linux recently:

The Internet Was Weeks Away From Disaster and No One Knew

Of course this is an issue with our trade based society 100%. How? Easy:

1. The incentive to do harm in this society is quite high. For profit, for power that also leads to profit, for the fact that tribes and people are divided into groups trying to outgame the other groups. Like Iran has an incentive to hack USA, USA has an incentive to hack China, Russia has an incentive to hack the EU, and so forth. They can get sensitive information, blackmail, etc.. This is a global situation that has trade (as a practice) as the director of motives. Making people do what they do. Tribes hold onto their own resources, exploit other tribes, etc.. And so fighting with each other is natural.

If we lived in a society where trading was not a necessity and provided for all equally, we would have no reason to have tribes with borders, exploit other tribes, fight against each other when we are all in fact a big tribe, the human tribe.

1. The people working on a lot of open source software struggle to work on it since they also have "day jobs". They have to TRADE to survive. Imagine people had access to their basic needs trade-free, via an UBI or whatever. More time to focus on creating secure and better software, more people who can do that. Less of those incentivized to do harm and insert backdoors.

Overall it is a cancerous trade society where humans are livestock and wolves. Consuming and being consumed.

The only sane way out of it is to HELP PEOPLE DETACH FROM THE TRADE SOCIETY. So they can be people and focus on RELEVANT STUFF.

Else it is a game of those who want to exploit and those who try to stop them. Endless....

Doing TROMjaro work from the motorhome :) forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-…

This is the first time I get to "properly" use this space for doing some more hardware and internet intensive work. We live in a motorhome from now on for those who do not know. This is it:

We have 650W of solar panels:

Internet satellite and 2 lithium batteries, each of around 1.000W. The download internet speed is quite good, some 20-30 real Mb per second, but upload max at about 1 ...

So, to download the updates to create the ISO is no problem. To compile the ISO itself, also not an issue because we have a lot of power. But to upload 2 ISOs, each of around 4.7Gb was really time consuming. So much so I had to leave the Internet and Laptop on over night.

But it worked and they uploaded. They only ate 30% of our battery capacity overall. Something we can easily put back with solar this next day.

This is our view from a really nice parking lot for motorhomes where you get free water and water disposal facilities :)

We can also charge one of our batteries while we drive with like 500W so in 2 hours we can fully charge one of our batteries just from driving, and we plan to drive for almost 2 hours today.

Therefore, the test was great! Because even if the upload speeds are shit, I can leave the laptop overnight to upload large files.

We have a Peertube channel where we try to upload videos from our adventures - videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide…
