@Tio
Its very sad to read this, but I understand why it happened when TROM is such a criminally underrated project. Seriously, if there were like a ratio of importance vs how underrated a project is, then TROM would hit number one on that list.

BTW, I really like how you handled this situation in a positive way, never giving up on TROM and keep on fighting no matter what. Honestly you are such an inspiration for everyone. I'm sure one day people will realize the importance of what you're doing, but until that day there might be many more hurdles like this we have to overcome.

Tried to force an upgrade on our Friendica. We have it via @YunoHost but their package is not updated since last October....meaning we are behind 2 important Friendica versions. I submitted several issues on their github page and contacted them via their chats. Hopefully they can update Friendica. I think Friendica is very underrated and because of that people may not give it much attention. Partially I think this is because Friendica needs a much better presentation website and theme....and I still plan to help them with that if they accept my help. I am just too busy these months with TROM stuff...

Now our Friendica is restored. Luckly I always do server snapshots because the YNH restore of Friendica fails with 504 timeout error after 1h of trying to restore the database.

All in all, everything is fine. We have backups and system snapshots. Is easy to keep our websites in a working state.

Big thanks to Yunohost for packaging such "apps". Without them I could not provide any. #tromlive

This is a new study showing that dog breeds do not predict behavior https://link.trom.tf/E5PRCbRT

Meaning that the environment is what makes a dog aggressive, friendly, or whatever else. As it is to be expected. Humans spend way too much time and energy trying to find some bio-chemical reason for behavior in all kinds of creatures, including humans, yet so far nothing. Of course. Look at the environment! It is the best predictor by far for all species.

"I fully support the international criminal court and appeal to the Russian federation to accept to cooperate with the ICC (the International Criminal Court). But when we talk of war crimes we cannot forget that the worst of crimes is war itself."

UN chief when arriving in Ukraine. I think UN is still naive by not looking at the society through a scientific perspective, look at human behavior and such, but I do like their attitude many times. In principle they try to do good things. And some people believe they are "evil". wtf. Anyway, I like to see such a figure with visibility, say something everyone should say: "when we talk of war crimes we cannot forget that the worst of crimes is war itself". Because it is.

Damn finally I have reduced and sorted 13 or more hours into less than 4. This was brutal. I have deleted a lot. But now the massive task is to try and cut these down to 2 hours. Else I may end up creating 4 more parts...idk...there are a bunch of things that we repeat and say them in different ways. But this is ALL of the footage we have. Nothing left. Next days is brainstorming about how to approach this amount of footage...

This is so cool ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=aKK7vS2CHC… - things we should talk about, dream about, be excited about. Not wars, famine, poverty, stuff stuff stuff. Sad society. But wonderful world. #tromlive

Tomorrow I'll get back to work on TROM II. Today I did none. Was not feeling like doing anything. I got overwhelmed again at how much stuff we recorded...I will for sure finish this month with the sorting of it all, then the huge task of figuring how to continue and finish the documentary. I wish I had the money to work on it for the next many months without being stressed about what I am going to do in the months after that...but is fine, I got used with the idea that I won't probably finish it in a month or even two. Will try to find a way to make money, maybe I can find a not-very-stressful job. That will be my focus in a month or so.

It is funny becasue I already have a "job" that I do daily and for that past 15 or so years. But I am not paid for it, because I am a nice human and everything I do I share it for free with everybody. And because of this attitude I have to suffer and now I have to do some other "job" that is probably retarded and only helps very few people, not the rest. And do it to survive, not that I like it.

God bless this society! Wonderful one! #tromlive

I worked so much on TROM II these 2-3 days. And I will keep on working on. I have a massive task of putting together hundreds of individual cuts from some 20h of footage, and reduce it 10 times, plus make it in a way that makes sense.... I am probably done with some 80% of that already. It is very very very challenging. I may take a day or so off will see. Because now I don't make sense of TROM II anymore haha. Too many parts, too many things, too many clips....too much... #tromlive

Take your time with it, don't burn yourself out......



Oh hey look, modern slavery ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=zEN4hcZutO…

So sad. But keep in mind, the slaves are almost never aware that they are slaves. Same goes for most people in so called civilized tribes that have a daily job. #tromlive

The 3rd part of TROM II has begun! For now I have to shrink 2h of us talking about the biggest problems of today's world, in like 15 minutes max...how-the-fuck!? :D Really difficult. But probably that's my next mission.

At least I have an idea now about how this documentary will end. But I am left with huge amounts of footage that I need to shrink so much....that's gonna be difficult. #tromlive

Oh is doing great. After I've let the proxy clips be handled automatically all worked great. My project is massive and Kdenlive maybe crashed 3 times for the past 2 years or so. I mean it is really rock solid now.
in reply to Tio

That's amazing, you should be a user showcase for them;). It's likely the biggest project ever done on kdenlive

hehe they told me to send them the documentary after it is done. and I will ofc
in reply to Tio

That's nice to hear, the FOSS community has always been a good help for us, a lot of what we do at TROM relies on many FOSS projects.

When you do proper backups to proper locations, TB of data, and all works so well that you forgot about it, is when you have achieved the perfect backup solution :). And that's me now after years of trying. External HDD + Borgbase + Megasync. All work great.

These days I will try my best to bring together all of my notes and tags and such for TROM II and create the next part/parts. Today I finished listing all of these in 1 document. Tomorrow is sorting these ideas. The start of it. #tromlive

in reply to Tio

do you use something like KITScenarist (github.com/dimkanovikov/kitsce…) to help organize material for a script?
in reply to Tio

I've been playing with it off and on. It's interesting. So far I haven't needed to produce a screenplay so I don't feel qualified to comment on whether it's any good or not, but it has an "index card" option that I really like
