So I kinda finished 50 minutes from the 3rd part of TROM II. But now I have to see how I continue. For that I need to go again through the first 2 parts of the documentary. I went through the first part today....difficult. I had to port it to the latest Kdenlive and fix a bunch of things + color correct all interviews footage. I will render it overnight to check it in full resolution tomorrow and prob fix more things for it. Then do it again for the second part. Then re-watch them + the first 50 minutes of the 3rd part and figure how to continue....

But tomorrow I'll also try to release a new TROMjaro ISO....

So a bit of work these days.

I am personally not happy to see the fediverse conglomerating around a few huge instances. The growth here means a few people are in control of a vast chunk of the network. A decentralized network is the future. Like Scuttlebutt or the like. No servers, no admins, works better the more people that join since there are more nodes. Similar to the Bittorrent network. That's what I'd like to see. Locally, so you have your own identity that no one can temper with.

That's a future I want to see for "social networks".

If anyone can get involved, please do ;) - help the Friendica folks keep this awesome platform alive and great.


#Friendica needs new contributors!

I'm not used to do this, but with the large influx of new users and node admins recently coming from #Twitter, our small team is now behind the curve for handling support requests, bug reports and bring about much-needed features.

The project is built on a #PHP / #MySQL platform, but we also need people to be able to assist others just using the software to give developers some space.

If you're willing and able to help, please follow @Friendica Support and the project on Github: github.com/friendica/friendica

Thank you!

Friendica fact of the day: you can follow pretty much any website out there, including youtube channels, twitter feeds, you name it. All via RSS. So find the RSS address of any website (usually they link to that on the website) and paste it into the contacts form where you normally add contacts. Then follow.

You can also use a trade-free service like rss.trom.tf/ to grab the RSS for those that have none.

So, join us via social.trom.tf :) and follow any RSS source. Easy.

My university didn't have an RSS address or any other way of notifying people they uploaded some vital info that could get people banished if they didn't read it.
I remember I made a feed for myself via some website that allowed me to select which parts of the website should be monitored, and used a discord bot to notify me if something new was uploaded, with a photo, title, description and link ^^
RSS is a valuable little piece of technology

I tried to update Friendica to the latest stable today, but the @YunoHost package for Friendica pulled the development version of Friendica instead of the stable one. I reported it here github.com/YunoHost-Apps/frien… - there is a mistake somewhere....but we can't afford to run the dev branch for our 900 or so users. I will try again later on when this is fixed. For now it is all good, I have restored a server snapshot.

Nice article by @Cory Doctorow's linkblog pluralistic.net/2022/11/13/gra… - I too am tempted by the framework laptop. Yes it does not have a dedicated GPU. Yes the screen is kinda small if you want to do video editing, tho I have an external monitor already. But to be able to bloody replace pretty much any part of your laptop, yourself, is bliss. Like he was explaining how he dropped his laptop and destroyed his screen, to then simply order a new screen and replace it himself. Beautiful!

Tomorrow I will 100% finish the first 40 minutes of the TROM II documentary, part 3 of it. So fast! Awesome! Basically I am almost done with those 40 minutes. Only need to work for an hour or so to finish it. After that I will probably be able to finish the next 10 minutes or more this month. But the rest is a bit unknown and needs some serious work. In any case, am doing it much faster it seems. And so far I love it. #tromlive

Friendica fact of the day: you can compose huge posts on Friendica, add inline media (photos/videos), and even stylize the text (bold, italic, underline, add links to words or sentences). So you can use it as a Twitter or Facebook alternative. No limitations.

See more about Friendica here and join us here.

@Tio
I'm currently using #Fedilab (fedilab.app). It has its issues, but the developer is interested in improving Friendica support, so you can report bugs and they're quick to fix it.

So you're saying this laptop is very well built. idk sounds tempting :D - the main thing bothers me is the small screen. I can't tell how small that is compared to mine. But yeah this laptop sounds like a unique one....to be able to replace pretty much everything is quite useful.

I think the most positive thing from the bird-migration lately is about those who knew about the fediverse but were reluctant to join. OR have joined and not used it much. Now they are like "Oh yeah man, this fediverse is awesome" when their bird-friends start moving over, or at least trying it.

Also, another reminder that mastodon is just ONE platform. There are lots of others. Personally I (again) recommend Friendica. This is what it can do and how it looks like trom.tf/social/ and here is our instance that's public social.trom.tf

Fix top bar window buttons in the Unity layout forum.tromjaro.com/t/fix-top-b…

Recently there was a push to a package that made our default TROMjaro Unity layout a bit ugly :D - and we have a temporary fix for it.

@Sasha is starting a video series (lots of videos) about her hike last year through the Pyrenees, and all is on our Peertube instance.

So basically this girl is some 1.56m tall and weights some 48kg. Despite that she traveled 840km through a mountain chain, with a backpack that was half her weight, alone, for 2 months. With only 3$ a day. If you want to see some really informative, interesting, and cool adventure, start following her channel.

This is her first video videos.trom.tf/w/bscuS7uYA2PYV… - all about packing for the trip. The next videos are about the adventure itself. I joined her for 3 days :D hehe.

You'll see some really cool landscapes, and a very tough little lady :)). And she is also very funny.

Ok. Follow her via Peertube at videos.trom.tf/c/big_world_sma… or via any federated account big_world_small_sasha@videos.trom.tf

:)
