We had to remove the donor wall from tromsite.com/donate/ because it was incorrectly displaying the donors. At times it was displaying the donors who donated for other campaigns, or displaying those that canceled their monthly support. Sorry about that. If we make it work we will add it back.

A massive thank you to everyone who goes out of their way and donates 5 Euros a month to support this massive project of ours. We will produce more content and projects for sure!

I Volunteered for 25 Projects. Here's What I've Learned


In this video I am showing 9 things which I've realized by volunteering for 25 projects. Most of them were about nature and wildlife protection and restoration.

We in fact have 41 people subscribed for 200 for TROM campaign and not 38. See tromsite.com/donate/ - our system did not work 100% well and we had to fix some stuff. Still fixing some other things. But 41 people are amazing for supporting TROM. A huge thank you! Maybe, eventually, we will reach the 200 goal. We need 160 more people and then TROM will be forever ok :) and we can keep producing more content, more projects. #tromlive

So the donation counter on the website was not working correctly? Anyway, glad to see there are 41 supporters now 🙂
in reply to Rokosun

Yes because some donations were not recorded as completed by our website....there are still some weird things going on but....little by little I hope to fix them.


The usual Manjaro Stable updates plus: Theme synchronization madness It is indeed difficult to make a consistent Linux desktop nowadays.

Thank you Ioana for becoming the 38th TROM Supporter! :) - We need to find 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month for TROM to support us forever - see tromsite.com/donate/

Currently we are working on managing our backups a bit better because it has become quite expensive to backup TB of data. We work on a new release of TROMjaro too, and more such technical stuff.

However soon we will shift gears and do more TROMcasts and hopefully either start creating new books that are already in the making, or transform them into a long-term video series. If we reach the 200 for TROM goal, then it will be all of that, and more, plus no more stress. To be able to continue to fight, while not getting rich off of it.

In the long term, like we said before, we'd like to create a decentralized sharing platform where people can share from gadgets to food and everything in between.

TROM is active, and more so when we get new supporters! :) Thank you!

Thank you to the 37th donor to our 200 for TROM - tromsite.com/donate/ - with little steps we are getting closer to our goal. That of finding 200 people willing to donate 5 Euros a month to support all of our TROM projects forever. #tromlive

TROM Files (Nextcloud) provides 10 GB of storage space for everyone! And we can extend up to 20 GB to whoever needs more storage. All trade-free.

TROM Files is like Google Drive + Google Photos + Trello + more into one single package, but no bullshit subscriptions, ads, data collection.

You have access to Collabora (Libreoffice cloud) - a powerful Office suite that allows you to edit any documents and collaborate on them.


You have access to a Photo Gallery app and the ability to edit your photos directly in TROM Files:

You have access to a Notes app and a Music player. Plus "Deck" to organize your teams and tasks.:

Lastly you have access to a fully featured Calendar:

Please share so that everyone takes advantage of this. There is no catch if you understand what we do at TROM. We've been creating trade-free materials and services since 2011.

And please consider becoming one of the 200 people that we need in order to support this TROM project forever --->> tromsite.com/donate/

Thank you Adam for becoming the 36st supporter of TROM! We need 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month in order to support TROM and all if its baby projects, forever. If you can, please join tromsite.com/donate/ #tromlive

We are all humans. Atoms that make cells, cells that make us. We are not israelies, palestinians, americans, jews, arabs, europeans....we are HUMANS. And we have more than enough resources to share and live in a paradise on a beautiful and complex planet.

What a shame that the same brains who can understand how the universe works and the complexity that we have discovered so far, can be imprisoned by nonsense ideas and beliefs, and then kill each other because of these.


Shame!

Our next TROM big project will be a stuff sharing platform that uses the Activitypub protocol. So anyone can spin their own local sharing platform and connect with the rest. It is a long term plan, but we will try to do it. It is just an idea for now.... but the other TROM projects were ideas too.

#tromlive

in reply to Rokosun

Indeed. Sharebay is starting globally and I think that's bound to fail. I have stuff to share but there is no way I can do it via Sharbay since the closest people to me are hundreds of km away....I won't pay for transport and they may not either. It needs to be local for sure. Global in case someone is willing to pay for transport. Activitypub allows us to have both!


All of our TROM Files are again available via TROM Files tromsite.com/save/ - we make everything available for everyone, as trade-free. If more people would practice what we do, to create trade-free goods and services, the world would be a better place. It is tough of course, since the entire society relies on trade. But we must start something like this, despite being so difficult.

The move of TROM.tf to the new server is now complete! As a bonus we have raised the storage for TROM Files from 5GB to 10GB for everyone, plus added Deck - an alternative to Trello, so that you can organize tasks and collaborate with others.

We've also increased the size limit for TROM Send from 5GB to 10GB.

The new server is more powerful and has a lot more storage space. But also a little bit more expensive. So please consider a donation to support TROM.

Cheers! #tromlive

Our TROM Videos, Peertube, now runs from our new server! videos.trom.tf

Unfortunately for TROM Send we could not properly restore it so we have lost the temporary files. Mind you these shared files via TROM Send are temporary. To make up for this we increased the 5Gb limit to 10GB per share! :)

Only one that needs to be moved is TROM Social (Friendica). Which should be moved tonight!

We moved all of our TROM.tf services to the new server except:

- TROM Social - Friendica
- TROM Videos - Peertube
- TROM Send - Lufi
- TROm Tasks - Vikunja

We will continue the move. So far so good.

TROM Social: We are moving our instance to a new server, so for the next days (maximum a week) we have disabled the registrations there, simply because many email confirmations cannot be sent form our current server so most registrations will fail. #tromlive

The usual Manjaro Stable updates plus: QT6 QML apps break… What we are trying to do in terms of syncing the themes across GTK and QT is not something that either of those officially support, so it is more of a hack that has worked for many years no…
Unknown parent

Tio
So you say that's like an impossible task for QT6 ha?

I see thanks for explaining. I have a bit of a better understanding now.
