Big thanks to the 200 Euro anonymous donation! Much much appreciated! tromsite.com/donate
We still have an ongoing fundraiser for our backups - gofundme.com/f/paying-for-the-… - we need 40 more Euros. While we can, and we will use some of the money from the latest donation for it in case we do not raise it all, it would be much appreciated if the people who use our services can help us pay for the backups.
Our instances of Friendica, Peertube, Nextcloud, Matrix and more, are used by hundreds if not thousands of people. We are backing up all of their data in the cloud. So please help if you can.
Thanks!

TROM II: A Message to the Aliens (documentary)
We live in a world where everyone is busy, everyone is consumed, everyone seems confused. Money, social credits, ads, data collection, prices and billionaires. Climate change? Who cares! A one-marb...videos.trom.tf

I agree that Peertube loses something good about centralization: a way to search the entire Peertube network. I think joinpeertube.org/browse-conten… does that well tho. And every instance can enable global searches like we do with videos.trom.tf - tho this is a general issue with decentralization and even these global searches will not search through all of the content.
One server needs to discover another and its contents in order to be aware of them. But this technology I think is still in its early stages and looking at how much Peertube evolved over the past 2-3 years it gives me hope that there will be better solutions for this.
I like the idea of grayjay.app/ where you are following "creators" and not channels. Can be Youtube, Peertube, or whatever. The fediverse needs to be integrated with the other platforms like this through some sort of app maybe....
PeerTube's own Sepia Search is trying to cover having a single search system in one place. It uses a blocklist system to screen out bad content when it's reported.
I'm trying to do my own single place to discover content at fedi.video but using an allowlist system instead, so I only allow accounts to appear on the site if I manually approve them.
These are the two ways of providing a unified search for discovery, I think there's a place for both?
How awesome that on the fediverse you can follow our Peertube TROMhome channel directly via tromhome@videos.trom.tf - no need to have any Peertube account. Follow it from your Friendica, Mastodon, or whatever network you are using.
This is light years ahead of the BS of Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and the like, who are islands of ads, controlled by a few rich people.
Thank you to everyone who works on making the fediverse as great as it is!

We replaced all of the windows' blinds with new ones - videos.trom.tf/w/k1kdbjbDaBBJU…
We decided that replacing all of the windows' blinds is quite a must from a privacy and security perspective. And it was not too difficult to put the new ones. This may be a useful video for those who want to do this for their own motorhome.

Putting our first solar panels! videos.trom.tf/w/eFaTmRTaSVtbK…
We put 260W of solar panels on the roof and connected them to our Bluetti AC180. And we had to do part of it in the dark.
We post only on @PeerTube despite getting a lot less views there, for now, than we would on Youtube. But we need to create new/original content on Peertube if we are to make it more popular.
On top of that I love Peertube. No ads, no bullshit. Just a sane video platform.

See:
You make a video about cleaning up the waste, and that's something important and is done by good people, but then you post on Youtube and they show you first an ad about fast fashion.
Tell me this is not the most ironic thing. Same as selling hard-copy books about deforestation on Amazon.
And this is not to blame anyone, but please if you have other options use those too, like Peertube or making your books digital.
If you are making content about restoring nature we invite you to our Peertube instance videos.trom.tf - no ads or any bullshit like that.
Let's be reasonable people and at least try. Youtube is an ad-company and if we want to cut down from this insane consumerism we should try to avoid Youtube or at least use adblockers.

For a few years now I got very bothered that our playlists from Peertube were always displaying the first added video to the playlist as first. Normally you'd like the last video first in a playlist that gets constantly updated so that people can see the latest video you added. Very useful for tromsite.com/videos/ and tiotrom.com/videos/
This is a feature request for @PeerTube since last year github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube… and although may not be a priority there is a plugin that kinda fixes it framagit.org/kontrollanten/pee… - but this one is far from perfect and only works for a single account...
I hope that Peertube would fix this in a future release. They have been stellar so far. Amazing job!
