Getting stuck in the most beautiful place - videos.trom.tf/w/bxTbZkK2TYaUY…

Masatrigo looks like a volcano, but it is just a beautifully shaped hill with a roundabout around it. It looks so cool from afar, and the entire area is actually super beautiful. But it has been raining in Spain for many weeks and the soil/grass was very wet. We parked in a not so very steep place, but it was enough to get us totally stuck.

Luckily a very nice old man came to our rescue.

You seem unstoppable guys. You make me feel lazy for not being active lately. On the other hand inspiring to make me get more active with my stuff. Interesting about the solitary bees, I was not very aware about that. Looking forward to the videos!

Tip: add hashtags like nature, conservation, ireland, etc.. You will reach more people on the fediverse.

In #PeerTube, you can add subtitles to your videos, either by adding them manually or by generating them automatically!

But did you know that you can also search for subtitles using the transcription widget?

We extended the shutting down of our TROM.tf Matrix chat from 4th of May to 14th of May so that people have time to migrate their accounts. For more info see - trom.tf/chat/

Please migrate!

The difference is we are not polluting waterways or the air, or making people unemployed, or infringing on artists' livelihood.

This all happens locally on your own computer.

So there is a massive power outage in Spain and Portugal right now. No phone service, no Internet, no "modern" life :D. The cause is unknown - euronews.com/my-europe/2025/04…

What is funny is that we are in the mountains in spain with our TROMhome and we had no clue about any of these. We are fully offgrid in terms of power.

We have lots of solar panels, enough batteries, and satellite internet. So we are all good.

Perhaps we are indeed ready for an apocalypse. Waiting for it here in Picos de Europa :)

But yah, interesting this happened. Likely no "mysterious" cause. Keep an eye on the updates here - bbc.com/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd9t

IMPORTANT!

We will remove our Matrix server in a week time (4th of May). Here's why?

In short: the service has become hard to manage and bots (likely) have taken advantage of our kindness spamming other rooms/users. Because of that our hosting provider wanted to shut down our entire TROM.tf server. Hard to deal with all that and with a huge 300GB database. On top of this anyone can make an account with matrix.org or other instances.

Full explanation and solutions here - trom.tf/chat/

We decided to wait out the storm in yet another place- videos.trom.tf/w/bv3rpVt3GQWZ8…

Playa de la Colada, el Viso. A nice looking recreational area, pretty quiet off season, but the water was contaminated and was full of dying fish! A little bit eerie but otherwise a nice place. In the last photo you can see how flooded it was after all this rain.

Oh and we also found mold under our bed! 😯

#vanlife #travel #Spain #RV


Lots of dying fish in this lake


PLAYA DE LA COLADA: This was a beautiful yet kinda creepy place because we found a LOT of fish dying and it looked really weird. Not a water you want to go swim into. We solved the mystery later on when we red more about the place... Except that, we had a good time there and the scenery was really nice. We even did some nigthtime timelapse.

Why 99% of Glass Eels are Gone and How We Can Save Them? - videos.trom.tf/w/rXaJVsRtHBJGE…

Yet another example of people doing a lot of hard work, for free, and for a good cause. Imagine if more could be involved to do such acts. We need to take care of people, in order for people to not destroy the environment, each other, and to have time to restore what was destroyed.

Help people, to help the world.

On stormy days (which there have been a lot of), we mostly stay inside and eat cheesecake 😁 videos.trom.tf/w/jwu1LtBABCHGW…

We stayed in a motorhome parking area near a little town called Alcaracejos, where we found a lot of white buildings and one very small car ☺️

Trapped in a storm for many days


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 :D.

Totally understand man. I'm so afraid of dogs that I have to tell people to keep their pets away before entering, lol 😂 I know these dogs don't bite and just wants to play with me but my brain just freaks out when they run towards me 😅

Praying For Armageddon - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…

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.

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.

@tio Nextcloud Talk is a great Software, but there aren't good security options on it, the conversations are saved in clear text on backend.

If you have some tips for this point, I would pleased to see it ;)

@Tio
in reply to P_L.yml

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.

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.

How we do the laundry? - videos.trom.tf/w/bFbRQYq9ymPgL…

It is unreasonable to have a washing machine in the motorhome. So then, how do we wash our clothes? Interestingly it is easier than doing it at home.

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.

The Nerja Cave - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caves_of…

This is me down there...

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.

Fantastic!

Of course we will make a video about this for our TROMhome channel - videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide…

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.
