I may be back on working on TROM II, which is great. Worked some today and will keep on working more tonight. In a few days I will start the removal of the "bad" accounts from our Peertube. And I see that people are still making accounts and post content that does not suit the thematic of our instance, so i may be forced to pre-approve accounts before they can post. Will see. It is definitely a challenge to create a video platform. #tromlive

Next TROMjaro release comes with a new trade-free VPN that works much better and is auto-configured. Plus an RSS Reader that sends notifications when we release a new ISO with the release notes since they are important for all TROMjaro users. And may also come with some web apps based on our trom.tf services. And I want to reorganize the apps in the apps folders. SO far half the work is done. #tromlive

At least if they are going to ban our instance please say:

"We banned this instance because one out of 170 users from that instance, created an event that notified all of his friends and some of these got bothered. Mind you, he created the event in order to test their own instance's custom theme in order to fix it for all of the users, and he does that as a volunteer. Plus, he did not realize that he will send an event to all of his friends, and deleted the event 5 minutes after he created it when he realized that."

And that's the reason we decided to cut ties with this new instance and all of the users from that instance. Now the users from that instance and the users from our instance, cannot contact each other, see their posts, and so forth.

Worth it! :)

This is my desk. I have a frame with real photos of the Universe in my face there, to remind me about my place in it. I have this since 2012 or so. First images with exoplanets that humans discovered, some images with galaxies colliding, one with the cosmic background radiation, another with the sun and earth to put in perspective, another with the furthers galaxy (object) ever photographed (as of 201 or so). And a few other gems.

Working on adding a section to our Friendica presentation here trom.tf/social/ full of recommended accounts to follow. Lots of RSS sources that are setup by me already so all you have to do is copy the link to your contacts page. I will try to add a bunch of accounts for organizations from the fediverse too. I just want to make it interesting and attractive for people to move to Friendica.

If I manage to move my sister to Friendica, fully, and to make her use facebook a lot less or not use it at all, I'll then declare victory! hahaha. Joking, anyone use whatever they like, but I want to show to people how awesome this social platform can be if you give it a try. #tromlive

Well I wanted to create a clean Manjaro Gnome distro to remove Skype, Microsoft Office, Steam and other such apps that I felt have no place in the Open Source world. Then it evolved from there and I tweaked Firefox to block ads, trackers by default, or sponosred content in youtube videos + make it more usable and remove the nonsense. And in time we added more and more stuff to it, or actually removed. Now it is quite a simple OS, using the core of Manjaro but packaged with the apps we think are relevant and tweaked so that you don t have to trade your data/attention or money to any apps or websites.

We have customized it a bit and so forth. See the main website, the front page explains what it is about.

I have tested many RSS Readers, and there are some great ones, but Friendica also acts as one and does a fantastic job at. This was one of the features that convinced me to move form Mastodon to Friendica. The fact that I can follow anyone on the fediverse + any RSS feed....is just too good! I keep on saying this, but Friendica is really underrated. #tromlive

@Hypolite Petovan We carried out an empirical experimentation on rss feeds and we drew some conclusions.
The problem of the very heavy slowdown of the system was probably due to a trivial problem!
Since I had set the search on the feeds once or twice a day (instead of frequently, convinced that this was the best way not to burden the system 🤓), the system created some processing "queues" that slowed down the whole publishing mechanism: some Sometimes, from Mastodon, I saw friendica's messages only after one or more hours of publication! 😭
When we reset everything to "frequently" the problem disappeared... 🤣

It was a pleasure to have @Hypolite Petovan and @Michael Vogel to our TROMcast again. This time discussing the moderation on the fediverse. Full episode here videos.trom.tf/w/iNo3k26oW2xP1…

Hello, I see you 👋😺 Great to *see* Fediverse stars every once in a while :p Idea: a promo video (short, quick moving scenes, entertaining, maybe with some effects) with all Fediverse developers who wish to join. A juicy look and feel of who's behind our ecosystem. "Hello, I'm . and I develop Friendica" (links, mascot at the bottom). Random compilation of short answers. Jokes, smiles, awkward moments. "Join Fediverse" from each one at the end 🎬 A New Year video treat 🍰

Well, you didn't look too uncomfortable 🤔 And I believe Mobilizon, Funkwhale and some other teams have women onboard. Also, I don't really think it's about beards, genders or color. It's about human part. I honestly don't come hear to read about goddam Linux! But, if you think it's a bad idea... /me hides behind a 💻 @heluecht @tio

Yeah. I have 100 amazing, vivid, wow ideas for Fediverse - but I can't realize about 99 of them. 😅 Not on my own anyway. So this is just me throwing another idea into the void 🌌 hoping someone special will catch it and get inspired :D (Framasoft video about PeerTube behind the scenes was really well done!) @heluecht @tio

Damn the second shot of Moderna hit me like a modern train. At first I only felt pain in my arm where the shot was made, like the last time, and I was like "oh that's not a big deal". After some 8 hours I decide to go to sleep. 5 minutes after I got into bed I start to shake/shiver uncontrollably haha. Like I never experience this before to shiver so bad that you can't control yourself. Even the bed was shaking. It was like that 1973 movie, The Exorcist.

I started to get so cold I managed to put a few layers of clothes on me and another blanket to cover my robotic-shaking body. My body started to hurt and I woke up like ever 5 minutes. I am exhausted. My head hurts, my body hurts.

So yah I do not recommend for people to get vaccinated!

Just joking! You must be a moron not to. Getting COVID is way worse and when you body reacts the way mine did after the second shot, it simply means the vaccine is working. It triggered the immune system. So today and maybe tomorrow too, I will be around but I don't think I can work on any TROM projects....the suffering is fading away tho....

forever reshared this.

Just got my second COVID vaccine shot and I think people should be extremely angry at the transportation system if they want to pour their frustration somewhere. The vaccine took 10s. Had to wait 10 minutes after the shot and almost no minutes before (it was well organized - went there, got the shot). But it took us 1h 30 min to drive some 30km. Traffic jam. Slow as fuck. Tiring. Such an outdated system to allow everyone to drive a metal box on wheels. And all of these boxes are not eve the same - tons of models, new coming out every month or so. In truth all are the same, just different colors and design changes mostly. Such a retardation. And oh, it is also dangerous to be in a car...

So yah, if these morons worry about vaccines, but not about the transportation system, they are completely lost. Primitive world. #tromlive

Ok so yah happy with what I managed to do today for TROM II. Kdenlive can be very powerful if you take the time to learn how to use it. This is what I've done so far:


Lots and lots of tiny parts, music, sound effects, video effects, and so on. 33 minutes. I have another 25 minutes that are done, script-wise (like the talking heads, us, and the story we tell). I am working to video edit that and make it interesting. It may take me a few weeks to do that. But I will be super duper happy after I am done with the first hour of the documentary!

Of course there is a lot more to do. But will do! #tromlive
