We now have a Wishlist for our TROMhome project because we are broke and if anyone wants to help they can directly do so. Here tromhome.com/#wishlist

For example we need to put a satellite dish (a Starlink Mini) so that I can keep our servers updated, do backups, upload our TROMjaro ISOs from the middle of nowhere, and in general be available online to help with the TROM projects. We need it specifically for my work on TROM.

So if anyone can help we have a GoFundMe for it gofundme.com/f/help-us-get-a-s… (450 Euros). I hate that they are putting satellites into the orbit, but we have no better option in Europe. The monthly fee of 72 Euros is also gigantic for us, but again I need an unlimited Internet access...

If anyone can help that'd be fantastic. If not is ok we will buy it eventually.

Thank you in advance! :)

A small van traverses war-torn roads, picking up Ukrainians as they abandon their homes at the front. Shuttling them across the battered landscape into exile, the van becomes a fragile refuge, a zone for its passengers’ confidences.

Dont Worry, We are Fucked! videos.trom.tf/w/tn5h6Q6VK5QjK…

This is a recording I did after we finished filming for the TROM 2 documentary. I wanted to compress all of my thoughts in one go, one recording. And this rant is more than relevant today when it seems this world is fast slipping into idiocracy. If you did not see our TROM 2 documentary I recommend you better watch that instead of this video - tromsite.com/documentaries/tro…

In essence I think that the human society has dug its own grave so deep, it is likely we cannot save it from a total failure. However, if you have the patience to watch the entire rant, you will see that despite this negativity I am still positively active with sane and nice projects and I will continue to do so.

If the world is fucked, it does not mean I, or you, have to be fucked and complete idiots, or to not care about the world.

Secrets of the Spy Whale

YEAR: 2024 | LENGTH: 1 part (88 minutes) | SOURCE: BBC

description:

In April 2019, a seemingly tame beluga whale approaches a Norwegian fishing boat seeking help. It is wearing a harness fitted with a camera mount. When the words ‘Equipment St Petersburg’ are discovered printed on the buckle, speculation breaks out that he has been engaged in some kind of sinister undercover activity.

This documentary explores the mystery of the strange whale and asks where he came from, who trained him and why, and what he was doing in a critically important part of the Arctic, close to Russian waters. With exclusive interviews and access to unseen footage, the film explores the secret world of marine mammal training and international espionage, and sheds new light on the true identity of Hvaldimir, the ‘Spy Whale’.

TROM Send is back! send.trom.tf/ This time we are using Jirafeau instead of Lufi. It is simpler and easier to use. Encrypted and up to 10GB of file sharing. Enjoy! :)

Since we calculate our Petreon and Liberapay money as "people" (divide the amount by 5) we had to adjust the amount of people who support our 200 for TROM from 99 to 93. It is still great but we need more help ;).

We highly recommend that you use our 200 for TROM to support us and not the above ones since it is easier and most support comes from there anyway.

Thanks a lot!

So our TROM.tf server was successfully updated to the latest Yunohost and Debian! Everything seems to work fine except our TROM Send (Lufi) that appears to be broken. We are looking for a fix or a replacement. Updating our tromsite.com server seems a bit more complicated because of the hosting provider probably.

TROM.tf server updated to the latest Yunohost and Debian. However our Matrix server is currently not working, probably lots of database migrations are still on the way. Hopefully in a few hours it should work, if not there is some work to do to fix it.

TROM Send is not working - will see what can be done about that. For now it has been removed.

And we have removed our Pixelfed instance. It was setup for testing purposes and I, Tio do not have time to manage it. Plus the YNH package is not very up to date. Lastly, we are running very low on diskspace for TROM.tf so we need to only keep relevant and useful services.

If in the future someone from TROM wants to manage a Pixelfed instance we can fire one up ;).

There is a lot of work for TROM behind the scenes, so you know!

in reply to TROM

Troubleshooting, troubleshooting, troubleshooting..... It is always more work than you think, programming is hard and all but testing and troubleshooting is what actually takes up a lot of time, it drives me mad sometimes. So yeah, I imagine the "behind the scenes" work on managing TROM is harder than people think.

For the past month and a half I was crazy busy with my own life. We started this TROMhome project - basically we had to move in a motorhome. It will become a vessel for our TROM projects. But anyway now I finally have time to manage these projects.

Planting trees in Germany with Bergwaldprojekt.
In November I was in Munich planting beech trees in a spruce forest. One of the reasons it's because beech tree can hold way more underground water than a spruce. And forests like this one supply about 70% of the drinking water to Munich

Science Sketches


Our Mission
Empowering scientists to communicate with the world using big markers and small words.
We are addressing two huge needs in science communication:
First, the public needs stepping stones from their general vocabulary to the language of science.
Second, there is a huge desire in the scientific community to contribute to outreach and communication. However, there are very few well-defined opportunities to do so.
