We need to pay for the yearly backups for all of our services and content - gofundme.com/f/paying-for-the-…

This means all of our TROM.tf services (friendica, peertube, nextcloud, etc.), all of our websites like tromsite.com, videoneat.com, tromjaro.com, and so on.

We only need 230 Euros to cover another year of backups. Please if you can help out since we are underfunded and cannot afford to pay for them.

The payment is yearly. We need to pay by the end of this month (March).

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you for the anonymous 300 Euros donation! tromsite.com/donate

We will put the money towards buying a satellite dish in order to have a proper internet connection in the motorhome (TROMhome) to be able to manage all of our TROM Projects. If you have no phone signal, thus no Internet, then no one can fix/update any of our websites....but with a satellite internet we can stay connected anywhere basically.

For example when we release a new TROMjaro ISO that is 4-5GB that needs to be uploaded in 2 different places (so around 10GB) and to make sure they upload correctly. So a good and reliable internet connection is a must for us in the motorhome.

We only need 150 Euros more to buy the dish - gofundme.com/f/help-us-get-a-s…

If anyone can help, this is a direct help for TROM. If not, is ok since we will have to buy it anyway one way or another.

This 300 Euros donation is a huge help. Many many thanks!!

We have updated our Peertube to version 7! Lots of cool stuff - read more here.

But the most important for us is the visual aspect. Now we are using the main and default and much improved Peertube themes (Dark/Light) with very very minimal changes (maybe 5 lines of CSS).

No more broken UI, no more being unable to have a proper dark theme, no headaches with every Peertube updated. They have made an awesome theme and we will go with that.

We need to promote this platform more often and I ask people to try and be a bit more brave ;) and prioritize Peertube. Post there like we do. Sure you may get less views, but you are growing a trade-free (saner) platform, and thus saner minds that do not have to be exposed to the tsunami of ads that Youtube infects every viewer with.

Congrats @PeerTube for doing an amazing job!

TROM in numbers

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!

For the past few days we managed to trigger the auto-transcription for thousands of our peertube videos videos.trom.tf - All of our TROMcasts, our TROM documentary snippets, all of our videos indeed and all of the VideoNeat trailers now have an English caption. While it is not perfect, it is impressively accurate considering that it is automated. @PeerTube is a real alternative to Youtube, in all regards.

Every new video that is going to be uploaded to our Peertube will have a caption from now on.

Join us!

Improvements for TROM.tf :

Our TROM Social first page (login) is not anymore just an empty page with a simple login, it provides you a peek into the fediverse:

Now you can see what's going on on the network, maybe to convince you to join :). It took a lot of CSS and HMTL gymnastics to achieve this. From my tests on desktop with mobile emulators all looks good on mobile, but for some reason when I check it on my phone it does not look as it should....I shall investigate.

Implemented some dark toggles for some of our services, where it was doable, such as Call

Search

Speed

And made our TROM Call, Jitsi Meet, more reliable.

Lastly we spent many days trying to figure out how to make our Peertube Live work better. Hours of tests, lots of logs. Hopefully we can make it more reliable.
