We in fact have 41 people subscribed for 200 for TROM campaign and not 38. See https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - our system did not work 100% well and we had to fix some stuff. Still fixing some other things. But 41 people are amazing for supporting TROM. A huge thank you! Maybe, eventually, we will reach the 200 goal. We need 160 more people and then TROM will be forever ok :) and we can keep producing more content, more projects. #tromlive

Just saying that religion in a lot of BS, and creates a lot of conflict.

I am working to find a cheaper solution for my personal backups that are about 3-4TB. Borgbase is too expensive. I bought a Hetzner Storage Box - 13 Euros a month for 5TB. That's insanely cheap. 3x cheaper than BorgBase. And it supports borg, sftp, webdav and more.
Currently I am trying a new app I found - Kopia - entirely open source and fast as hell. That plus Hetzner via webdav. So far so great. I will make an article after I decide how to move forward with the backups. Could be an interesting article in terms of how I manage to backup some 2-3TB of server files and some 3-4TB of personal files. Millions in total. Daily. Automated and encrypted.

I have also looked at Hetnzer's storage pods. DO KEEP IN MIND: they don't have redundancy
(by that I mean: yes, they do use RAID but it's all on one server.
If you compare that with Backblaze B2 for example: there it's more distributed across the entire data center)
While an OVHfire type situation would likely destroy an entire datacenter, with Backblaze it's possible that the only the affected area lost some data but not all of it.
also: don't underestimate social connections: if you have friends who do self hosting things or have a NAS: ask if you could use some.
"Can I store x TB on your server if you get to store x TB on my server?"
Doesn't get much cheaper than that

Oh wait... Israel is doing what Hamas has done....
Anyway, good job Israel. Keep on killing! And then the families of the ones you killed will revenge one day, and then you can kill more, and then more of their families and friends will kill your people...
Awesome!
EDIT: A good article about the situation - currentaffairs.org/2023/10/you…

This is the cycle of revenge that perpetuates violence and atrocities.

I'd like to share this interview of Noam Chomsky about terrorism and how we can reduce its risk, he also talks about how it's only considered terrorism by the media when they do it to us and not when we do it to them.

What consumes a lot of my time with TROMjaro is to test and fix the GTK and QT theme sync...oh and fix the Libadwaita ones....and the Flatpak ones...damn such a mess! It is fucked up that you do not allow the system to wrap/hug your app window so that we can have the same damn window bars and borders for all apps for functionality/usability and style reasons. idk who thought it is a good idea to force their own window wrapping....terrible!
Plus to not respect the system's theme....
So at times I wonder if I should give up and not fix this. Let people have a wide variety of themes, buttons, colors, shadows, borders....and embrace the mess. idk....but currently we have to do a LOT of dancing in TROMjaro to sync this with that, check the system's theme, copy the contents there, do the same for icons, check the font....WTF.
In what sane Operating System is it that apps look different in terms of their windows and buttons from what the System uses, or be unable to change the font for all apps or icons...like...why are some people killing the theming in Linux!?
This is tiring... #tromstuff

Amazing and difficult journey. Great last video!
Damn to go through those tall mountains, alone, with a backpack that's almost your size, for 2 months straight....is insane. But that's Sasha! She is insane, in a good way. You can see the entire adventure on her Peertube channel videos.trom.tf/c/big_world_sma… .
Tough human! Little, but tough!
And the last days of my thru-hike across the Pyrenees: https://videos.trom.tf/w/rGU6BudRpmaNbZrNTBPG99I actually made it to the end! 😁

Our next TROM big project will be a stuff sharing platform that uses the Activitypub protocol. So anyone can spin their own local sharing platform and connect with the rest. It is a long term plan, but we will try to do it. It is just an idea for now.... but the other TROM projects were ideas too.
Being forced to move from Cuntabo to two different hosting providers trained me in regards to how we can move all of our websites somewhere else, and doing so only relying on our backups. Our backups go to BorgBase and are all encrypted. Even if we are kicked out from a hosting company, we will find another and restore from our backups.
Actually we can host at home on our computers....and again restore from our backups. But for now I would not want that.
With @YunoHost and Borg I now feel safe.
I can move TROM.tf in 2 days, and the rest of our websites in maybe 1 day.
So yah, I am happy that I was forced to move because now I know all of these things.

All of our TROM Files are again available via TROM Files https://www.tromsite.com/save/ - we make everything available for everyone, as trade-free. If more people would practice what we do, to create trade-free goods and services, the world would be a better place. It is tough of course, since the entire society relies on trade. But we must start something like this, despite being so difficult.

Moving from Contabo to Hetzner tiotrom.com/2023/10/moving-fro…
I fucking did it! Fuck you Cuntabo! I got a better server now. I am so happy to finally do this step after months and months of preparations and plans.
Done!

The move of TROM.tf to the new server is now complete! As a bonus we have raised the storage for TROM Files from 5GB to 10GB for everyone, plus added Deck - an alternative to Trello, so that you can organize tasks and collaborate with others.We've also increased the size limit for TROM Send from 5GB to 10GB.
The new server is more powerful and has a lot more storage space. But also a little bit more expensive. So please consider a donation to support TROM.
Cheers! #tromlive
