TROM II despite being some 5h long and covering lots of topics, does not use stock footage at all. I cut pieces and parts from hundreds of documentaries. Almost every piece of footage has a story. For example one time we talk about how humans, if they had more time, could learn more about how this world works, and I showcase footage with real scientists looking at real data and real stuff that they study. Not some random dudes and dudes pointing and fake shit. That's the kind of editing I have done.

I want TROM II to be genuine. And stock footage sucks. So yeah, I used only real footage from real events. And that was, and still is, insanely difficult. To cut pieces from hundreds of documentaries is a bit insane....luckily VideoNeat is my friend. I have collected thousands of documentaries there over the past 10+ years. All available for free.

So yeah....a ton of work.

Speaking of TROM II I finished a bit over 1h. Not much left out of the last part. But the end of the documentary should be very good, at least from my perspective. So I want to not rush with that.

You are very kind. By the way for the TROM books, at least the first ones, I did use stock images since back then stock images were not very much used like today, so it felt alright to use them. Now I hate stock images/videos. Like hate with a passion :D.

Anyway, I hope the documentary is interesting for you. May not be any new info for you tho....so yeah be aware of that haha.

Just so everyone knows, boobs and genitalia are not bad. They can cause a lot of pleasure. Penises too. And overall the naked human body.

Therefore we won't remove any video from our Peertube instance just because some people are too sensitive to the naked body. You know, you too heave one. Enjoy it!


Guns, poverty, wars, violent games, ads, and so forth, are the ones we should stay away from and consider unacceptable. Not the naked human body.

I finally managed to get back to work on TROM II again. 57 minutes done. Basically now I only have a 10 minutes chunk to do. If that's done then I only have 3 more minutes, the last ones of the entire documentary.

You have to understand that this documentary was not scripted, nor did I have an idea about how it will end up. Just some 40 hours of interviews with 5 people over the course of half a year. So I had to put this puzzle together somehow. Hopefully it will make sense.

I am confident that March will be the month I'll finish it all. I say that because even after I finish this last part I need to go through the entire documentary and improve a few bits here and there.

Here's one of the many examples of "reality is more interesting than movies". This is a wonderful story of two humans. Two scientists. Who wanted to understand the Earth. Interesting, sad, and tragic story. Who the fuck needs movies when reality is better in any regard!?

Webb telescope spots what astronomers believe are surprisingly large galaxies dating back to early universe.

Very interesting. Listen I have another "theory": shocker but every single galaxy we have observed so far is actually our own at different stages. Even when there are a few colliding it is an illusion. :) Even more shocking than my Black Balls theory.

No but seriously now, I love when experiments/observations of this kind do not match what scientists expect. Why? Because it is fascinating. The reality may be so different from what we know now. Maybe there was no "big bang" but something else....maybe the theory of galaxy formation is wrong. You know they had to kinda "invent" the "dark matter" to explain how galaxies are held in place. Then "dark energy" to explain why the universe expands at increasing rates...

So yeah, fascinating. Very :) - I love the Universe. It is such a wonderful garden full of mysteries.

Ooh, that reminds me of this video - youtube.com/watch?v=EjjWi5PizX…

Curved universe is a fascinating concept, we can never know for sure how the entire universe is shaped like. But in that video he points out that scientists have tried to measure the curvature of our observable universe and with a margin of + or - 0.4% they think that its flat. So considering the fact that we can only observe galaxies inside the observable universe then its very unlikely that we're seeing our own galaxy 🤔

If you watched the video I linked above, there's also a pinned comment below it where he corrects some mistake he made. He says that in a round universe, earth (or galaxy in our case) would be stretched across the sky, kinda like if you step inside a spherical mirror you'll see your face and entire body stretched across its surface. So in the video he shows that we see another earth when he zooms in, but in reality we'll be seeing earth stretched across the entire screen.

idk observations, experiments, maybe it is irrelevant to even think of the universe as having a "shape". Maybe the universe is all that is/exists, and thus has no particular shape just an infinite space. idk....it is weird. But I never understood this concept of dimensions except when you talk about maths and physics. I find the concept weird and maybe it is not even a real thing.

Of course dimensions are just a concept since we can't actually observe any other dimensions than the one we live in. And most of mathematics are imaginary things like that, even though they can be useful for solving problems sometimes. Like for example, what do we mean by negative numbers? We can never actually have a negative number of things in real life, so its like an imaginary concept that can be a useful tool sometimes.

The video didn't prove anything, he just mentioned that some scientists have tried to analyse the shape of the universe and they found it to be pretty flat, the observable universe that is, no one knows the shape of the entire universe. There is also a Wikipedia article about the whole thing - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of…

So now the fashionable thing is for "documentaries" to be about murderers, cults or celebrities, and be like 8 parts long and made (bought) by netflix, apple, or hulu? Interesting world we live in. These are not documentaries as much as drama-shows. You see these companies need to make shit-load of content, to gain more subscribers, and keep the subscribed ones around.

Anyway. Awful.

A new TROMjaro ISO is out forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-… - we moved to the new 6.1 LTS Kernel. All looks good! :)

TROMjaro 2023.02.21 (new kernel!)

The usual Manjaro updates plus: We switched to the new kernel, 6.1 LTS - Long Time Support. This kernel brings a lot of hardware improvements. I know from experience that my new laptop had no working speakers, and a lot of other issues.

Bloody hell I managed to replace ALL trailers for videoneat.com with our Peertube links and make them open in a proper popup. I thought it would take me months, but took me days. I did work many hours a day to do it. Now it is done. Awesome!

Back to work on the documentary!

Some 47 minutes done for the last TROM II part:


Very efficient today. Only some 15 more minutes till all is done! Wow...can't believe I am getting so close.

Happy with this last part so far. But I have to be honest, I feel like I can't judge this documentary anymore....after 2 years of editing....idk if it makes sense or not. Regardless I'll finish it haha.

I will continue to work on it these days, more and more.

All of the "shorts" videos from our https://tromnews.com/videos/ are now extinct! No more shorts. These videos, the shorts, are a byproduct of a trade-insanity where humans are obsessed to do whatever it takes to grab more attention. Because they can trade that for other things. In this case the traders are hopping on a train brought by the TikTok ad company and emulated by Youtube ad company.

These "shorts" videos were ruining our entire video section. So we had to manually fix this for every source. And should be fixed from now on for good.

I did a covide test I do not have covid which is great. However I am still not "back" yet. Feel a bit better but still unable to do anything other than continue to stay inside and be like an old man haha. My brain is foggy. My skin hurts. Other things "hurts". We are big, but we can be so fucked by these minuscule creatures (germs). It is quite astonishing to me :D.

Great interview all about aging ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=lkEHvSWeMz…

This is a topic that interested me for more than a decade now. I talked about it in the first TROM documentary and will bring it back into the second TROM. What seemed like fantasy even 10 years ago, now seems like a very solid and scientific endeavor. It fascinates me.

I wish I could live a thousand years :) - I would never get bored :P

In other news I replaced the trailers for VideoNeat.com for some 300 documentaries today....manually....1.200 more to go haahah. Will do it slowly over the course of the next months. I feel better today. I hope to start the work on TROM II tomorrow.
