Photo album: Russia, 2025
social.trom.tf/photos/bigworld…
I visited my family in Russia after over 5 years of not seeing them. Babushkas are getting older, but still walking and feeding cats, ducks and pigeons 😊 I wrote about their funny habits in chapter 3 of my book bigworldsmallsasha.com/book/
Feels so long ago now 🥲

Managed to capture the Milky Way "core" last night, for the first time :)
Made an 8 hours timelapse as well :). Will be part of a future video for our TROMhome channel - videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide…
All with a Pixel 4a with CalyxOS, gave to me for free by @aaron :)

We parked and spent the night at a beautiful viewpoint in Alarcon- videos.trom.tf/w/8cXUeTG4Pdmg2…
The most beautiful view from our window
ALARCÓN: this was a very beautiful place to stay for one night. Amazing view directly from our window. Tio also got his head stuck in the roof. A bird also shat on Sasha :).

There is the well-known saying "if you only have a hammer, then everything looks like a nail".
We find this quite obvious, and think people who fall for this anti-pattern are foolish.
Yet here we are in our #hypercapitalism-encased little global world, measuring *everything*, all value, every transaction in monetary terms.
How is that not the bluntest, dumbest hammer, and most ignorant way to misperceive value of life?

search.trom.tf/ was moved to our secondary server to avoid future problems with the hosting that warned us against recently about a kind of "abuse" - We think might have been the search engine that probes the searx instance list when doing a search. Will see.
But for now the TROM Search works as usual only that it has been moved to a different server.

UPDATE: Officially the problem has been "fixed". But lets see....we will look for another provider and in case we will be forced to move, we should be able to do so in a day or two.
Our TROM.tf server was flagged by the hosting company as "Abuse: NetscanOutLevel: scansnarf-ng detected Netscan from: We have indications that there was an attack from your server." - and we have a few hours to fix the issue else they are going to shut down the server....
Please be aware of that since the websites may go down and we may have to move to another hosting provider...
This is very bad news but unaware what it can be. Please keep an eye on status.tromsite.com
We will try to update there in case anything happens.

DNA testing site 23andMe files for bankruptcy protection - bbc.com/news/articles/c9q4r9xy…
Of course...a bullshit company, like most companies, providing nothing useful for the people and now even putting their personal information (and DNA) at risk. Because you know, other company may buy it and who knows what it does with the data. I have been saying that since the beginning when everyone was so excited about this useless company.
To read the DNA for useful purposes should be the job of entities that do not make a business out of it, but take care of people´s health. This nonsense of "see where you ancestors are from" "see if you are fucking irish or a goblin", is so useless even if accurate, which may not even be.
Anyway, another story of nonsense companies that make people give them their data to then fuck up this information for everyone.

Thank you Michael for becoming our new Patreon! Although we primarily rely on the 200 for TROM campaign and the donations that go through it - see tromsite.com/donate - we also have a Patreon patreon.com/c/TROM and Liberapay account liberapay.com/TROM/ .
These accounts were up and running before the 200 for TROM campaign so we decided to not close them. After all we calculate all of the Patreon and Liberapay donations towards the 200 for TROM campaign.
Thank you to everyone who supports our project!

We spent 4 days in this spot and found a micromonster - videos.trom.tf/w/hww8YgbSA9mHL…
Cirat was such a wonderful place to be in. Close to the mountains and having access to all facilities we needed, made us stay there for 4 days. We just did not want to leave....

You mean how often we do the laundry? We managed to go 3 weeks before doing it, and we did 2 loads basically...in the next video we explain it all. But if you have a lot of underwear and socks :) then you can delay this task :9
And yes there are many laundromats in Spain.

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!

Now in all seriousness this place is not too remote. So far we never felt like we were in any sort of danger.
