I should've had recorded and made a documentary about my and Sasha's situation...4 years now and we still did not get any papers for Sasha. We've been through so much shit you can't imagine....just to let us live together. Now we thought that's it, finally, we paid a lawyer to submit all of the papers, I have a "job", and we were told that in 2 or so months we will have an answer. That was in September last year....

We contacted the lawyer today and we were told .... "Oh can take up to 7 months..." - fuck them. These robots...

I bet most people have no clue about how fucked up it is. To basically not be able to stay together unless you have a lot of money. Insane. And this is EU....Spain, wow civilizations. Fuck them, primitive tribes.

Maybe we will piece together the entire story with the little footage we have, and release a sort of documentary at one point. Because this is insanely ridiculous....

Oh man the prison earth video is spot on..... If you don't have enough money/status then you can't visit most places or stay with people you love in those places, you don't realize how fucked up it is until you experience it first hand.....
in reply to Rokosun

Yeah...and I had to correct the post...it is 4 years....not 3....damn so fucking long insane

@gnutelephony
This is just inhumane..... There is no other way to describe it and I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Often times when people bring up issues regarding racism and such I've never seen many of them mention this one, maybe there needs to be more awareness about this issue 'cause it's an important one.

@futureisfoss @gnutelephony @aral The correct other way to describe it is genocide, and yes, it needs to be talked about.

Not as a permanent living arrangement, but often for holidays. They are out with it in the Alps at the moment :)


I will be mighty busy with the driving school exams and such for this rest of the month. So the work I do for TROM should be a bit less. But I am trying to film some stuff for a future video, about these stupid tests and all that. Will see. #tromstuff


This documentary is crazy. To think that this is happening in 2024 is insane. People treated like slaves in concentration camps, brainwashed to extremes.

I highly recommend this documentary!

TROMjaro 2024.01.07 (and a longish article) forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-… - improvements to our Layout Switcher thanks to @Rokosun and new default apps ;)

in reply to Tio

Is there a way to force a system upgrade to the current ISO version? sudo pamac upgrade gave me the updated Layout Switcher, but nothing else covered in your article.
in reply to Nail Bender

This is a rolling release so no need to upgrade to any new version, you'll get the right updates directly to your system. The other changes are not that important I'd say and can be easily done by anyone who reads the release notes. Like in this release we replaced some default apps and I linked to the ones that we replaced so you can simply install them. But that's all.

So I replaced SMplayer with Celluloid, Gnome Usage with Resources, GUV with Cameractrls, and qTox with Jami. It is very very rare that we replace our default apps. So no, you do not have to do anything other than keeping your system updated and install whatever apps you want form the ones we replaced.

Of course that helping human beings it is a good idea. It is astonishing that we even have to have these conversations. All humans should have access to their basic needs (at least) as trade-free.

This photo looks fake, but it is not, and it is taken with a mobile phone. Plus I did no editing:


These are the islands where I live, and the wonderful night sky. You can see the Pleiades in the left top side, and that bright one top center is Jupiter:

4 minutes exposure with Pixel 4A.

Our TROM Call now requires a username and password in order to create a call. This is stated on the main trom.tf website. The password and username are "tromcall" and it will create a unique call session every time. Therefore it can be used by anyone.

Now it should be a lot more reliable than before.

A perspective photo that I really like. The moon and the bus. This is straight out of my phone - no telescope or binoculars, and no editing.

What is the best p2p chat application that does not rely on servers? We plan to change the default qTox app for our TROMjaro. Jami is the best one on the list so far, but if you know any let us know. #tromlive #p2p #opensource #foss #privacy



Look at this....just a few hours at the beach collecting plastic. At one of the most clean beaches around, that they clean almost daily:

This is the best photo I could take of Saturn...

Only edited a bit the contrast/luminosity. Taken with Pixel 4A and Celestron 130 SLT. I know that people usually take such photos from lots of frames and they stack them together with specialized software, plus do a lot of editing after. Yeah their results are many times better, but for one right now I do not feel like spending hours to edit/create such a photo, and second when is the editing too fake? Too much? If you use special programs to reconstruct pixels on a low quality photo....then is almost like adding bits that are not even there....idk...

At least this sort of photo is one that I enjoy taking by looking at Saturn through my phone's camera live, and taking a brief photo. Then edited it for less than a minute.

Feel good about the photo. Saturn is a tough target. It's actually pretty dim compared to Jupiter and Mars, and Venus of course.
in reply to Stargeezer Smith

Yup true! It was also lower on the horizon and even half moon. So bad conditions.


This is Jupiter and 4 of its moons at daytime :)

I find it fascinating to see Jupiter when it is daytime. A bit bizarre. And beautiful.

The Orion Nebula with a mobile-freaking-phone:


Pixel 4A + Celestron SLT 130, 10mm eyepiece.

My telescope was in auto-tracking mode and the exposure time was 4 minutes with the default Pixel Camera app.

I am astonished by this photo! You can see freaking color! COLOR! I only tuned down the gamma a bit but that's all of the editing I've done. Here is another unedited photo with a 20mm eyepiece:

I was soooo surprised to see this coming out of the phone :D - damn so fucking cool! 1.3 thousand light years away, stars forming.....so beautiful....so mindblowing!

in reply to Tio

This is so cool! 😍

So you attach your phone to the eyepiece of your telescope, right? Also, could you see this nebula with your naked eyes or did you had to use the 4 minute exposure photography to see it clearly?

in reply to Rokosun

Yes. I will do a video about these but basically yes I have a special adapter that connects my phone to the eyepiece of the telescope. Interestingly with the night mode for my phone (the default pixel camera app) you can see this nebula almost like you see it with your naked eye. But ofc not that sharp and clear. So you can see it some, but it is ofc colorless if you look directly at it. And it is nowhere near close to what you see in this photo I took. That's why I love to take these photos because they reveal the invisible.

Also the light pollution makes a massive difference when it comes to seeing such faint objects. This is an interesting article with illustrations about what you can see and how through different telescopes and conditions - deepskywatch.com/Articles/what…
