IMPORTANT !
Folks we are going to update our social.trom.tf at around 00:00 Madrid time, on 20th. meaning in a few hours from this posts. We advise you to not use much any of our services in that period of time since they may be down or we may have to restore some server snapshots in case the update and restore of our social.trom.tf will fail. #tromlive

A new TROMjaro XFCE ISO is out !! tromjaro.com/releases/ . We removed Nautilus and added the XFCE file manager, THunar. The search for Thunar sucks really really bad. But they already improved it so we wait for the update. I am tired. But I am getting close to make the tromjaro train functional and running on its own. I just need to make 3 or so articles, not big. Then fix some of the apps from our library.
After that is DONE.
The next big thing is to move my own computer to this xfce version....
After that I need to update Friendica. Or before doing that...
Then TROM II ! #tromlive

Installed TROMjaro on another laptop that had the gnome version. At first the installation module was getting stuck at "partitioning". This happened to the same laptop and with manjaro or ubuntu many years ago. I realized it is the main hard drive that's problematic so I had to manually delete the partitions via Disks. It is easy click and delete basically. Rebooted the laptop, and I could then install super fast. Was able to setup this laptop so easily. I love how XFCE is so simple to use, yet so customizable and has enough settings and options yet not overwhelming.
The laptop feels faster and snappier. I managed to restore the firefox, syncthing, and other such settings quite fast, so that these apps (once you run them again) should be 100% the same they were on the old system.
Nice! #tromlive

I will try to do an IDGAS Friday tomorrow - I Don't Give A Shit Friday basically. Haven't had these in a while...then moving to TROM II work finally! @Dima also wants to do a video with me like he did with @Sasha so that's great, we will record soonish. I am also planing to release a beta 2 for our TROMjaro XFCE. We are switching to as many XFCE defaults as possible, replacing Nautilus and the Gnome terminal with Thunar (with some configs) and the XFCE terminal. I still have to install it these days on 2 more computers, maybe 3. For testing and general use. So far the tablet works fantastic with XFCE. So fast so smooth.
Can't wait to also move my computer to it. Maybe I'll do it these days.
Everything else is ok. #tromlive

I upgraded our main server that hosts all of our websites except trom.tf. From 6 cores, 16GB of RAM, and 400GB SSD, to 8 cores, 30GB of RAM, and 800GB SSD. We were hitting the limit with this one, our processes were killed daily and the storage space was 95% full. We host all of our files here via our Nextcloud. So yah, happy!
Just 8 more euros a month, almost exactly as much as we paid for musikwave.com and since I will close that one in a month or so, then is all good. At least now our main server should be good for the next many years. #tromlive

The new tromjaro.com homepage is 98% done. I worked a lot today I felt like puking I worked so much.... I managed to highlight all of the awesome features of TROMjaro XFCE. Lets see what I'll do tomorrow. I want to finish the homepage, then remove some articles that are not relevant anymore for the XFCE version, plus remove some gnome apps from our library that require gnome shell to be installed alongside a lot of gnome crap, since is not ok with XFCE. And I want to make a new article explaining the move to XFCE, and maybe a short walkthrough and comparison with the gnome version. I shall not stress myself too much over it. I shall enjoy it!
I also need to fix a bug with the current XFCE version.
In any case getting so close. #tromlive

It's coming.... :)
Working on the new homepage. A bit unnecessarily stressed these days, but am still happy and very motivated to create such tools and push this trade-free idea. Whoever is with me, great. Whoever is not, whatever. :) . As soon as I will release TROMjaro XFCE am going back to work on TROM II.
These are the things that keep me awake at night and alive. To scream about the "matrix" of this society. Expose the underlying and dumb truth about our society + the mind blowing and wonderfulness of the reality we discovered through science. How else can I spend my life!? :P
The contrast between the above and how most people live and think, is what annoys me and makes me react immediately.
TROMjaro XFCE soon. TROM II work next. Update our Friendica soonish. TROMcast with @Cory Doctorow's linkblog in a week or so. I only hope to get enough financial support via donations to keep myself afloat and keep on doing these. #tromlive

Unknown parent • • •Hi @Michael Vogel - I don't see any current enhancement request for this, but do you believe it would take much to add in a console function to check for (and potentially delete) orphaned files on the system? I believe the only 'truth' about whether a file should exist in storage or not would live in Friendica's DB, so it could be good to have Friendica take care of any storage messes that might have accumulated?
I don't believe we currently have this sort of ability to check easily...

Unknown parent • • •I wouldn't presume all files are images - I mean that if one is doing filesystem storage to a path /friendica/storage - then doesn't Friendica have a chunk of information in it's DB about every single file that should be in there?
If I then manually added 'rubbishfile.txt' to /friendica/storage on my own (or if Friendica wasn't cleaning things up appropriately for some reason), then shouldn't we be able to ascertain that file shouldn't exist in that storage location based on what Friendica knows about it's storage location?

Unknown parent • • •Err... shouldn't that be a volatile location and only used for Friendica's storage? I can't think of a use case where someone would take /usr/bin and set that up for Friendica storage.
Friendica storage should be a location for friendica to store things and nothing outside of friendica should use it, no?

Unknown parent • • •oh, I must've missed the notification for this comment, sorry Michael.
Yes, I personally believe any person running a system that needs a storage path should be dedicating that path to that one thing - that would be putting way too much trust in a piece of software to have it share some path that you've put something else in. (Notice how I said 'should'... heh, I know...)
It would be easy enough to change the wording in documentation and in the admin UI to clarify that this storage location must be dedicated to friendica as it will maintain every file in it, including removing anything it does recognize as it's own.
