Since I am being asked these days about this and see others wondering, we can setup instances of Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Peertube and a lot more for a cost, in order to support our trade-free projects and instances.
We do it via WebApe.site - prices range from 30 Euros a month. We do everything: set up any instance, update, and all that. No need to worry about any of it.

Went to a darkish place in Romania, took a few photos :)
Many bad things to say about Romania, but the nature here is likely amazing. Fucked up society, wonderful world :)

Motorhome is DONE part 1: Security Systems - videos.trom.tf/w/jMbYy9evRHwKy…
We finished renovating our motorhome and we want to present it in detail. In this first part we are showcasing what security measures we have taken to protect thieves from stealing our motorhome, or even breaking in.
We added a device to disconnect the car battery, a steering wheel lock, even some straps to lock the doors together.

This how trade-based society works, i will clean my name by the expense of all planet. I look clean, because i was able to export a huge amount of oil and gas- I am a good boy?? Retarded society 🤣
Still obvious origin of the problem is not seen.

Thank you for the anonymous 300 Euros donation! tromsite.com/donate
We will put the money towards buying a satellite dish in order to have a proper internet connection in the motorhome (TROMhome) to be able to manage all of our TROM Projects. If you have no phone signal, thus no Internet, then no one can fix/update any of our websites....but with a satellite internet we can stay connected anywhere basically.
For example when we release a new TROMjaro ISO that is 4-5GB that needs to be uploaded in 2 different places (so around 10GB) and to make sure they upload correctly. So a good and reliable internet connection is a must for us in the motorhome.
We only need 150 Euros more to buy the dish - gofundme.com/f/help-us-get-a-s…
If anyone can help, this is a direct help for TROM. If not, is ok since we will have to buy it anyway one way or another.
This 300 Euros donation is a huge help. Many many thanks!!

In a wold where everyone is tired, the easiest is to fall asleep.
Stay sharp and alert people! It is hard, but it may be even harder to wake up from a deep sleep.
That's what I'm trying with all of the projects I do - tiotrom.com/projects/ - keep myself sane and awake.
Sure, not many people get to read the books I wrote, or use the tools I made, or watch the videos I created. But I do these for me first, and the rest second. That's how I keep myself from not sleeping. Is not easy, but what's the alternative!?

Relaxing at the river and getting a new carpet - videos.trom.tf/w/1M8iYmHeiVTLT…
Just a relaxing day at the river. Nice, cozy, calm. Nature 😃. We've also bought a big carpet to put in the motorhome to make it cozy and keep it clean.

TROM II: A Message to the Aliens (documentary)

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?

Good luck.
For what it's worth, I had more problems updating Ubuntu on my wife's old laptop from 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS than I did migrating my laptop from Debian 11 to Debian 12... But I don't have server stuff running on either of those, so I don't have the complexity you have!

More importantly, Zuckerberg didn’t build Facebook because he believed in anything, at least not anything good - initially the project was to rate college girls on their appearances

He's doing great things for fediverse visibility... but being a one man show leads to getting your ego involved or missing things (like Loops' egregious rights over-reach in its TOS).
Dan's done a lot of good... I just hope he can avoid an Icarus-style crash and burn that could undo a lot of that good.

"connecting people"? Facebook was created to predate on women and use their data without their consent!!! it was NEVER about connecting people, it was always about misogyny, ego and money.

They didn't acquire Mastodon
Instead they worked with fedi projects big and small regarding interop
Meta isn't the enemy«
