Maybe you can start it first per tribe, then expand globally.

Goal: humans should not have to trade in order to survive in this society. Since this creates a tsunami of problems for people and the rest of this planet. (source)

Plan:

Basic needs trade-free.

Make the most basic needs services trade-free. Healthcare, transportation, shelter, basic food, access to Internet (information and communication). You can do that through taxes, through volunteers, through all sort of means. Many tribes already provide some of these as trade-free, like in Europe a lot of the healthcare systems are like that. Not difficult!

Basic Income.

Since this world still relies on trades (money), and people may have different sort of needs and definitely wants, give everyone a basic income (say 1.000 dollars a month) with no strings attached. You can do it again through taxes, via the removal of so many institutions and resources dedicated to track people and check if they are eligible for benefits, and all of the paperwork nonsense that has been created around this. No more "benefits", no more "pensions". Forget about labeling people as employed or unemployed in regards to who should be helped.

That is it!

Now you will have a bunch of humans who KNOW they are taken care of. They KNOW that if they get sick they should only worry about that health problem and not a financial problem. They KNOW that they wont starve or end up on the street. They know they are SAFE.

On top of this, with the money you give them monthly, they can have some power and focus on doing some useful things in this society. At least some will, if not many.

This can grow up over time into a saner society of humans who can refuse to work for bullshit companies, or do any bullshit jobs. A world in which humans have the time to decide what to focus on, who to "vote" for, stay informed and properly inform others.

A world where scientists or journalists should not worry about their livelihood. So they can do their "jobs" properly.

We deserve and need this world. Else there is no intelligent species on this planet.

Parked near a lake.

Beautiful night sky :)

These are the places I love the most. Kinda alone. Nature. Peaceful.

Today we got another Abuse report from the hosting company. I think I am quite sure there was something bad with our server, namely with our Synapse (Matrix) server. It was accessing iPs from outside every second or so. Lots and lots of requests. After investigating we realized we had around 500 guest users. These users do not need an email account/registration to be part of the server. We enabled that a while ago. Bad decision.

We nuked them all today. Now hopefully that was the issue and many of these were bots spamming other Matrix servers and users.

We need to think well about the services we provide for TROM.tf because they can be abused...

Hopefully this fixes the issue with the hosting.

These days/weeks I have to work on a new WebApe project, to make some money, so I will have to delay any creative work I planned to do. But if this new project can be done then I will get more monthly financial support, which is something I really need.

And after it is done I can think of new content to create for TROM.

I wish TROM had enough financial support so I can only focus on TROM... tromsite.com/donate

But well.

Anyway, we will stay in this place for a few days so I can do some work. We have unlimited internet and power from the sun. And we will post new videos here videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide… - new one tomorrow :)

Doing TROMjaro work from the motorhome :) forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-…

This is the first time I get to "properly" use this space for doing some more hardware and internet intensive work. We live in a motorhome from now on for those who do not know. This is it:

We have 650W of solar panels:

Internet satellite and 2 lithium batteries, each of around 1.000W. The download internet speed is quite good, some 20-30 real Mb per second, but upload max at about 1 ...

So, to download the updates to create the ISO is no problem. To compile the ISO itself, also not an issue because we have a lot of power. But to upload 2 ISOs, each of around 4.7Gb was really time consuming. So much so I had to leave the Internet and Laptop on over night.

But it worked and they uploaded. They only ate 30% of our battery capacity overall. Something we can easily put back with solar this next day.

This is our view from a really nice parking lot for motorhomes where you get free water and water disposal facilities :)

We can also charge one of our batteries while we drive with like 500W so in 2 hours we can fully charge one of our batteries just from driving, and we plan to drive for almost 2 hours today.

Therefore, the test was great! Because even if the upload speeds are shit, I can leave the laptop overnight to upload large files.

We have a Peertube channel where we try to upload videos from our adventures - videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide…

Some motorhome updates :)

We are getting it ready for our South of Spain adventures, and overall to start the "journey". I managed to seal the entire roof to make sure it is as water proof as possible, we added 2 more solar panels and these days will add one more (so it will be a total of 650W of solar power - huge); and finally we put our satellite internet so we have unlimited internet everywhere basically, allowing me to work on our TROM projects :).

We spend our time near a river, in nature. But have worked pretty much every day on the motorhome. Lots of little things to do.

The view is amazing!

I did not have the time or motivation to film too much but we will make more videos about our TROMhome adventures. I plan to paint the motorhome this year and put some big stickers on it about our projects. I hope to also volunteer a bit in the offline world and make videos about.

Lots to do. Don't forget we post on our Peertube here.

As for the TROM projects I will give them some love starting this next month, maybe towards the end of it. Lots of ideas, and lots to do. Having unlimited internet anywhere is absolutely fantastic for me.

Many thanks to my parents who decided to pay for half a year for our Internet. Considering it is terribly expensive, it is a HUGE help. Much appreciated!

We have created a 5 hours long documentary (4 parts) entirely with Kdenlive. Took us 2-3 years, and 3.3 terabytes of project files. Some 40 hours of 4k footage edited.

And we posted it all for free - tromsite.com/documentaries/tro… - streaming from or own Peertube instance.

Trailer - videos.trom.tf/w/uzsWV9z42KKG6…

I think this is a clear demonstration of what can be done with Kdenlive.

TROM II: A Message to The Aliens (trailer)

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-marble world, floating in a giant soup of stars and planets, clustered in donut-shaped galaxies.

What are these humans living for?

In a 5 hour, 4 parts documentary, we try to explore their world, to understand what makes them human, what makes them enslave their kind, destroy their habitat, and be unaware of their place in this universe. But also what makes them so special.

Through the lives of 5 humans, we look at the culture that creates them, their struggles growing up on this planet, and where they are headed toward.
