We extended the shutting down of our TROM.tf Matrix chat from 4th of May to 14th of May so that people have time to migrate their accounts. For more info see - trom.tf/chat/

IMPORTANT!
We will remove our Matrix server in a week time (4th of May). Here's why?
In short: the service has become hard to manage and bots (likely) have taken advantage of our kindness spamming other rooms/users. Because of that our hosting provider wanted to shut down our entire TROM.tf server. Hard to deal with all that and with a huge 300GB database. On top of this anyone can make an account with matrix.org or other instances.
Full explanation and solutions here - trom.tf/chat/

Why 99% of Glass Eels are Gone and How We Can Save Them? - videos.trom.tf/w/rXaJVsRtHBJGE…
Yet another example of people doing a lot of hard work, for free, and for a good cause. Imagine if more could be involved to do such acts. We need to take care of people, in order for people to not destroy the environment, each other, and to have time to restore what was destroyed.
Help people, to help the world.

Praying For Armageddon - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…
A must watch documentary especially now when the biggest cult in the world (Christianity) is celebrating their fantasy story about the creator of the universe. See how this cult is infiltrating politics and influencing decisions that affect all of us.
Terrible.
Us, as humans, have a lot to celebrate if we look at the reality around us. Evolution, DNA, stars, the universe. We are all part of the same real and amazing story. Time to let go of these silly fantasies.

Our chat.trom.tf (Matrix/Synapse) has become very difficult to manage - growing database, not an easy way to prevent bots from registering, or others from abusing our service.
For now we have closed the registrations and only accept them via requests. We have 460 users but we are thinking to perhaps shut down the entire service this year.
Too much work considering anyone can make trade-free accounts with matrix.org or other providers....
We will keep everyone informed about our future plans.

I understand. I hope they can add encryption to the chats...but on the other hand if anyone gains access to our server and is able to read that "text file" in the backend, we are screwed anyway since we host a lot of services on or trom.tf. Including Friendica which is not encrypted....
So yes, I do prefer an encrypted chat, but things must be put into perspective. Our Nextcloud instance at trom.tf already provides encrypted files/folders for all users, so at least we have that.

Hunt for the Oldest DNA
Favorite
videos.trom.tf/videos/embed/mh…
YEAR: 2024 | LENGTH: 1 part (59 minutes) | SOURCE: BBC
description:
For decades, scientists have tried to unlock the secrets of ancient DNA. But life’s genetic blueprint is incredibly fragile, and researchers have struggled to find genetic material in fossils that has survived for millions of years. Then, one maverick scientist had the controversial idea of looking for DNA not in fossils or frozen ancient tissue – but in the soil.
This film follows the scientists deciphering the oldest DNA ever found and revealing for the first time the genes of long-extinct creatures that once thrived in warm, lush Arctic landscapes.

The Sickness-Society: either you are well and functional — or sick and dysfunctional - madintheuk.com/2025/03/the-sic…
Psychology is like recycling, you think it is working, but it is not. Never addresses the core problem. So easy to put people into categories and call them "sick". Works well for a livestock society. Best excuse to never touch the system in both cases. Continue recycling...continue labeling people as mentally ill. And let the system survive....
Truth is the opposite. It is this trade-based society that makes people mentally sick, and if we want to change that we have to change the society, not adjust the people to it.
Very good and on point article!

search.trom.tf/ was moved to our secondary server to avoid future problems with the hosting that warned us against recently about a kind of "abuse" - We think might have been the search engine that probes the searx instance list when doing a search. Will see.
But for now the TROM Search works as usual only that it has been moved to a different server.

UPDATE: Officially the problem has been "fixed". But lets see....we will look for another provider and in case we will be forced to move, we should be able to do so in a day or two.
Our TROM.tf server was flagged by the hosting company as "Abuse: NetscanOutLevel: scansnarf-ng detected Netscan from: We have indications that there was an attack from your server." - and we have a few hours to fix the issue else they are going to shut down the server....
Please be aware of that since the websites may go down and we may have to move to another hosting provider...
This is very bad news but unaware what it can be. Please keep an eye on status.tromsite.com
We will try to update there in case anything happens.

in reply to Serge from Babka • •They are yet another religious cult. And the documentary talks a lot about religious leaders pushing for the USA to help Israel fight the "enemy", the nonbelivers. And in a way it is funny because from a Christian perspective Jews are also nonbelivers, so the documentary has a lot to do with the Jewish cult too.
EDIT: And to be clear I am referring to the religious jews in my comment above when I call them a cult. As I understand "jews" can also mean many other things en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews non religious.

You could have saved a lot of typing by simply writing "We hate Jews".
