How we do astrophotography with an old phone?
videos.trom.tf/w/rYkMsXVAUxCXd…
Cerro del Hierro, a very nice place where we stayed for a few days and were able to capture perhaps the most amazing nigthsky timelapse. Us, a bench, and the rest of the universe. And we explain how we do these photos/timelapses.
We were also invaded by goats and Sasha went for a small hike between the beautiful rocks.

We found a super nice motorhome area with services (including electricity) for 6 euros/night, but getting out of there was a bit tricky:

I also found some donkeys and nice scenery in the hills surrounding Fuente del Arco :)
The best paid parking? And can we get out?
Fuente De was a surprisingly good paid parking. Just 6 euros for parking, water, and electricity. But when we tried to get out we realized that the only way out was uphill and near a big hole that was not there when we parked. It was really difficult to get the motorhome out of there... But we really liked that place in terms of motorhome parking.

This motherfucker held a "news" article saying there is a genocide in South Africa:
"But the image isn't from South Africa - it's actually from a report about women being killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo."
That among so many lies he said as "truths". Source - bbc.com/news/articles/ce9vxve9…
The level if lying and idiocracy we see in the world today have made this fucked up society even more of a shitshow. "The truth is what you want it to be!" seems to be what so many are doing today.
Absolute garbage. And this is a random and tiny example of the immense pile of shit that is raining down today, from politics to pretty much anything else.
Disgusting.
And very dangerous.

About 1 trillion stars, located 21 million l-y away from us, and featuring a diameter 2.5 times larger than the Milky Way: this is M101, the Pinwheel Galaxy, and I can capture it, with total impunity, with a 103 mm off the shelf telescope. If this is not mind boggling, then what is?

Llerena, Extremadura, in the rain: videos.trom.tf/w/sDJEbPp1R2g1n…
We had really bad weather for almost all of March this year. In this video we stumbled upon an event called “La Matanza” in Llerena, the south of Spain, but it felt like we were at some Eastern European Christmas markets 😄 Also, @Tio hates crowds and can't indulge in cheese and wine, so these kinds of events are not for him ☺️
Tio hates crowds!
We decided to stay in Llerena for a market/festival thing. It was quite crowded in the motorhome area and even more crowded where the event was. Tio hates crowds :). But Sasha loves wine and cheese. So we had an ok time overall :). But we try our best to void the crowds.

And exactly as I thought instead of education and simplifying workflows purposes these companies' "AI's" will be used to generate a "better" ads experience for you. Absolutely disgusting.
While they are still available use the Ad Blockers or FreeTube App if you want to see more sane and adequate ytb like it used to be long time ago.

In an example shared by YouTube, a man proposes and the couple shares a kiss. YouTube then recognizes this as a “peak” moment and suggests an ad window immediately following it.
Welcome to dystopia.
A predictable one if you understand that Trade is the Origin of Most Problems. So predictable.... and 0 chances we change anything within the same system...

I posted this comment on the video itself but will paste it here in case you @Dima see it:
Very well made video Dima!
I did not understand the "solution" part. There was a guy who was planting a crop with all of the other plants, so no herbicides. But how can you harvest that on a big scale? Also how about invasive species when you dont control for that?
Also wouldnt it be better instead of 3D printing that thing for bees, with plastic, to use wood?
Great job overall!

We got our motorhome stuck for the first time! videos.trom.tf/w/bxTbZkK2TYaUY…
But it happened in a super beautiful place, Cerro Masatrigo, and a very nice local man came to our rescue.
I also did a nice little hike called Sendero Fortaleza de Lares to get an even better view of this area in Extremadura (around the middle of Spain).
#vanlife #nature #hiking #travel #Spain #Europe
Getting stuck in the most beautiful place
Masatrigo looks like a volcano, but it is just a beautifully shaped hill with a roundabout around it. It looks so cool from afar, and the entire area is actually super beautiful. But it has been raining in Spain for many weeks and the soil/grass was very wet. We parked in a not so very steep place, but it was enough to get us totally stuck.Luckily a very nice old man came to our rescue.

I found a very interesting YouTube channel of a homeless English-speaking Japanese man. Why did it interest me? Because I always thought that without electricity and water, etc., without a home in short. A van or an apartment. It's very difficult. This man shows a different kind of life. There are a lot of YouTubers who live in a car or a van or a cabin without electricity, but very few homeless people (by choice. Mentally stable) who have to rely on electrical outlets in cafes and libraries, Public showers and finding a place every night to pitch a tent.

We need help with our 200 for TROM Campaign - tromsite.com/donate/ - we have a bit over 40% of the needed support. We only accept 5€ a month donations to not have to rely on a few individuals donating more money. We need to make this sustainable.
Unfortunately the support over the past months has dropped a little bit. So if you can, please support us.
On the same page you can see what you are supporting. We hope this year to bring new projects to TROM, although it is terribly difficult to do so when you can't even get the minimum support needed to run the current projects.
We have been resilient since 2011 so we will not give up, but the ones who see value in such projects need to support them at least a little bit in order for these projects to survive.
Many thanks to those who keep on supporting us!
