The 3rd part of TROM II has begun! For now I have to shrink 2h of us talking about the biggest problems of today's world, in like 15 minutes max...how-the-fuck!? :D Really difficult. But probably that's my next mission.

At least I have an idea now about how this documentary will end. But I am left with huge amounts of footage that I need to shrink so much....that's gonna be difficult. #tromlive

When you do proper backups to proper locations, TB of data, and all works so well that you forgot about it, is when you have achieved the perfect backup solution :). And that's me now after years of trying. External HDD + Borgbase + Megasync. All work great.

These days I will try my best to bring together all of my notes and tags and such for TROM II and create the next part/parts. Today I finished listing all of these in 1 document. Tomorrow is sorting these ideas. The start of it. #tromlive

These past 2 days I have tried my best to label and divide into smaller parts all of the rest of our recordings, except for @Sasha and @Georgi part. But even now I have 10 freaking hours of footage....and after I am done tomorrow I'll probably have some 13-14 hours. Ideally I need to cut this down to no more than 2 hours MAX. Lots of good stuff in the recordings so I feel bad leaving so much out...but I can maybe post the leftovers as "leftovers" - extra bits for the documentary.

Here the 10 hours I had to tag:

Tomorrow I am done with the tagging. And then the last real challenge begins. To create the last part or parts of TROM II...this is the most difficult part by far. Let's see...

I wish I had the money to properly focus on this documentary....and not force myself to rush and finish it in the next 2 months...but what can I do!? I really can't do much.... #tromlive

Here's a documentary about why vitamin pills are bullshit. Of course they are. Just companies selling nothing basically. Except very rare cases when the doctor recommends them for extreme situations, vitamin pills are pointless.


Newly added documentary on VideoNeat.com:

Vitamin Pills: Miracle or Myth?

Nearly half of us take a vitamin or mineral supplement every day, but what are these pills sold on every high street actually doing? Digging deeper than the eye-catching words on the packaging, Dr Giles Yeo investigates who really needs a supplement by putting our diets to the test.

A "visual" proof of why this trade-based society is a disaster:

I wish I could help more, but I find myself in a tricky situation in relation to taxes and fines and I know no other way right now than to keep trading my time, skills, energy and health in exchange for money in order for me and my partner to keep up. Big hug Tio.

I SYMPATHISE... But you have yourself as example also for not talking to people perhaps...

Here are two important things to do in order to have your digital stuff secure:

  • Do backups! Honestly I don't get how some people go about their lives without having their stuff backed-up. You can so easily delete your digital stuff and never recover it.
  • Enable Two Factor authentication for all of the important websites you use. I use KeePassXC that also has this capability.

And use Linux. forget about Mac or Windows :D. Linux is really awesome. Try TROMjaro.com - we made it very easy to use and secure and trade-free. No ads in the browser, no data collection + a VPN integrated. #tromlive

I simply can't force myself to do creative work. I mean that should be self evident. Financial issues...I also got a virus infection...maybe I should take a few days off and hope for less negative news these two months so I can work on TROM II. We are all prisoners in this fucked up society. And those who see otherwise are just adapted to it. The fact that I cannot focus on the work I am doing, without suffering a lot and struggling, says all it needs to be said about our society. Doing some 30 projects, wrote over 35 books, made tens of hours of videos and working on a new documentary, a podcast, a custom linux distro, and a lot more...and my only sin is that I refuse to trade my work. Therefore I am not allowed in this society. That's how it is.

I create a lot of value for thousands of people, I do not steal, do not pollute or waste much at all - I try to stay informed about the world and all that; and yet from society's perspective I am worth nothing.

Welcome to planet Earth full of waste, slavery, inequality, pointless jobs, zombie people. Amen.

Have been pushed away from my TROM II work these past days because of personal/family issues or other kinds. When you are the producer, director, script writer, video editor, project manager and so forth for a documentary, you definitely need to be in a calm, relaxed, and sane environment to be able to find the motivation and time to do such a work. I hope to be able to get back to work on TROM II these days... #tromlive

After the latest update I think our Jitsi instance call.trom.tf/ works well now. Can connect between peers via any browser. We need to test more but if anyone can test it and let us know, that'd be great! This is a Zoom replacement. A trade-free video call app that works in the browser. #tromlive

For me flatpak is more like a bandage than anything else, sure it might be helpful in situations like these, but its never a complete long term solution. All of these problems you described happened because of dependency errors, I usually downgrade that dependency to make things work until the devs figure it out and release a new update that works.

Instead of changing the program to work on the user's machine, flatpak changes the user's machine to make the program work ! This is what flatpak does in a nutshell. it sure makes things easy for the devs, but I think an optimal solution here would be to have a better system for detecting dependency errors and maybe provide an easy method for users to downgrade packages if something goes wrong.

Having an Nvidia card on Linux is almost exactly like not having it.

No hardware acceleration in the browser, not used in video editing except a little bit - extremely little bit. Or video conversion. I might as well use my GPU as a cup holder haha. And to try and make it work is either impossible or very difficult. That entirely defeats the Linux's awesome "works out of the box" approach. Not with Nvidia, not with my Nvidia. I got to accept over the years that my computer basically has no graphics card. 4GB of GPU RAM are just sitting there. God bless. If I ever have enough money to buy a new laptop I'll never ever ever buy one with Nvidia.

This is not the fault of Linux but Nvidia not providing proper drivers for Linux and keeping theirs proprietary.
