Yeah, no....this is too fucking hot. You can feel a hot breeze of air outside as if the earth turned on the oven.
This is how streets look like in a small town while cloudy:
Imagine that most big cities are way worse and way hotter. Also imagine that instead of cars we had trees. It would make a massive difference. But our society is not built for humans, it is built for cars, stuff to consume, etc..
We know how to deal with the climate change, we know how to design better cities and create a paradise on earth for everyone. But there is no incentive to do so in a society where trade is the main driving force.

After many months we are bringing back our TROM.tf Search! search.trom.tf/ thanks to Danny!
But with a twist. Instead of hosting a SearX instance we are using a script that checks the best and most reliable instances and uses them randomly for every search. It is a meta-search engine. This way we make sure it is reliable and our IP will never get blocked by google and the rest.
For those who do not know, SearX is itself a sort of meta-search engine, pulling results from google, DDG, yahoo and more, removing the ads and trackers, and basically allowing you to search without those viruses.
So, we are finally back!
To add it to Firefox simply right click the URL after the page loads, and then add the TROM Search as a search engine. From Firefox's settings make sure you select it to be as default for your browser.

TROMjaro is alive and well. And we keep it up to date and relevant - tromjaro.com - I love our Linux distro! :) I love when it is stable and just works. And we also ship with so many tweaks you can simply use it. No ads, no trackers, all apps available in Linux from one single place - click and install. I love it. A very positive project indeed :)

Funny how everyone thinks everyone uses Whatsapp. Almost as if it is a default messaging app for phones. Pisses me off. I have a hard time trying to explain to people that I do not use it, I use Signal. They look at me as if I am a weirdo. But fuck them :D - if anyone wants to contact me, use Signal. It is a shame that an ad company, facebook who owns whatsapp, has become the default messaging platform for most humans on this planet.
But well, ad companies like google, tiktok, and the like are used for all sorts of online means by everyone.
Sad. And we should not accept this situation.

When contacting someone I use SMS/RCS, and I'm simply not responding to Whatsapp direct messages, or maybe one day later. This sends a strong message (pun).
But I still need Whatsapp, and Fb Messenger above all, because groups are there, less known friends are there, and because sometimes conversations start with Facebook stories.

I have added more photos to my gallery :) tiotrom.com/photos/
Here are a few of them:
While kayaking I took this photo. I love how the rock looks like floating on the water.
Holding a 20 million years old spider:
This is the wonderful Moon and the stars:
And the wonderful Sun:
All of the photos are made with a Pixel 4a. And very little tweaks.

Now that I got my driving license, after 8 months of torture, I can plan ahead.
Ideally for the next 2 or so months I will work a few days a week in cleaning to make some money for the motorhome, then try to finish the 2 articles/videos/books I am working on right now, Culture Cancer and one about Tests in general, this idea that you can test people to see if they can drive, be doctors, or whatever. This livestock-mentality that in many cases may be full of bullshit. Oh and the one about The Internet.
I am so happy and relieved to get over this bullshit driving license thing. Now I can focus on something else. I will push on TROMing :) for sure. May be very slow for these next months since we are busy with the "making money for a motorhome" project, but TROM is not just here to stay, it is here to become more than it is today. We have lots to talk about and lots to do with the project. I wrote quite a bit for the Culture Cancer and gathered quite a bit of info about the other books/articles/videos, whatever they end up in the end.

We now have 6 servers dedicated to transcoding/transcribing our Peertube videos videos.trom.tf - thanks to @Alexio who is providing 4 of them! Peertube is now a complete replacement for Youtube and I will make sure to push it a lot more in terms of use and promotion! We need to get people to use it, else without content, it won't go anywhere....
Feel free to use our instance!

Now our Peertube supports auto-transcriptions and the result so far is scary amazing- Check out this video - videos.trom.tf/w/3gyrosqUEkwKj…
This can be super useful for many people. Amazing!

You know how some people complain about the stability of Linux for desktops and how, you know, it may not be reliable, especially Arch. What about Manjaro + Arch. How about a system based on Arch but with Manjaro's repos + the Chaotic AUR repo?
Well stable as a mountain! Using TROMjaro for many years now and despite doing a lot of updates, all works perfectly fine. Long gone are the days of being afraid to do the updates. This is my experience.
I 100% rely on my laptop for a lot of daily use uses. I need it to work! And it does!
So happy about that.

Here's a terribly depressing documentary - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…
About how boats with immigrants are sent back, capsized, and so on, just to prevent them from reaching Europe. Treating people like pigs used for consumption. Like meat.
But don't worry we have laws in place to prevent this....

I generally agree with the sentiment that reality is far more interesting than fiction, but horror movies are different tho. Only reason I'm able to enjoy watching horror movies is 'cause I know it's just acting and that the people are safe, but if you show me footage of actual people dying that will make me depressed 💀
Horror is one of those rare genres that's better enjoyed as fiction 😅 'cause real horror is just sad and depressing, none of this shit should be happening 😞

in reply to Andrew Adams • •That will get our ip banned by google pretty fast. You have to put a lot of effort to avoid that. And currently I cannot do that...
Or do you mean a metasearch for invidious instances?

in reply to TROM • • •Doesn't seem to be responding to input: I can enter a query, and select the radio buttons, but clicking the search button or hitting enter does nothing.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Maybe it requires some wacky 3rd party permissions?
