If we find 10 more @Aaron then we can start new interesting things and spread TROM and its message a lot faster. Then we can find 10 more. And so forth. Much love Aaron! Watch his video videos.trom.tf/w/pyhQaYP7MfV1N… #tromlive

Now you have one more source for downloading all of our TROM files (videos, books, audio files) tromsite.com/save/ (Mega).

And for our TROMjaro ISO we have 3 main sources now that are automatically synced tromjaro.com/download/ - so 3 different servers to grab our latest ISOs from.

I think this is enough for our needs :). #tromlive

I had to open that link in my browser, like how I would read an article if you just posted its link. I went back to my mastodon client to reply.

Not all of your posts are shown like this, but the articles definitely are. From what I understand, it'll detect if its an article by seeing if the post has a title, so on mastodon these ones will show the title with the link to the full article.

I actually did try out friendica using an account I had on venera.social because you said. Now I thought to give it a second shot since they made it work with all mastodon clients. I can have that old familiar look of mastodon while having the awesome features of friendica. So I tried it using fedilab and it was just too buggy, I couldn't even see my global timeline button. But I think this is the issue of the app itself and not friendica.
in reply to Rokosun

I tried using the @Tusky client and it was much better, 2 issues I had were these:

1. It truncates long posts under a "show more button", and there was no option to disable it.

2. If you @ mention someone on a post, it should bring me to that profile when clicking on it. But this doesn't work properly on tusky, it just says "Performing lookup" for a while and then opens up a random post. IDK if its a friendica issue or tusky issue.

in reply to TROM

Yeah, I'll give those other clients a try too when I have the time. Unfortunately, the client I use for mastodon, fedilab, just don't work properly on friendica. I just like tusky's UI out of all the others, that's why I tried that one next. I'll keep using that one if they fix the issues.

It'd be nice if there was a good friendica client with nice UI and all friendica features. These mastodon clients are made for mastodon and thus lack a lot of features provided by friendica

@tio @Tusky

in reply to Rokosun

The show more is a useful feature, else you`ll see massive posts...
in reply to Tio

Yeah maybe, but I'd still like to have an option to disable it. I see all of your long posts without that "show more" button on fedilab right now, so I'm used to it. So now it'd be hard for me click the show more button for every long post I see.
@Tusky @trom
in reply to Rokosun

Maybe it'd be best to have an option that allows you to set what "long" means to you, so you can set the number of lines to truncate and the ability to disable this truncation completely by setting the value as 0, that's how fedilab does it.
in reply to Rokosun

Fedilab is currently trying to rewrite some of their code to improve UI and stuff - toot.fedilab.app/@apps/1073283…

I'll just ping @apps here so maybe they would look into fixing these issues. Fedilab is actually the only app I could find on fdroid that explicitly said it supports friendica. But the friendica support on it is pretty bad right now, and there's definitely room for improvement.

Friendica is so underrated right now, and part of the reason is that it don't have a good mobile app

in reply to Rokosun

Yes, we have an issue where fixes will be brought to the new app.

Wow thanks to a huge donation from @Aaron we can now backup everything to the cloud! link.trom.tf/trom

We will have full backups locally, and to another server. All encrypted. That means for everything we do. From trom.tf and all of its services and files, to our books, documentaries, videos, videoneat.com and its materials, and everything else. Massive thanks to everyone who donated!

The synchronization of data has begun! :) #tromlive

We've already raised 70 Euros out of 200 that we need to backup all of our TROM files/servers for a year. If you can help out, see this campaign of ours link.trom.tf/trom

We will wait until we raise the entire amount, then we can safely backup everything to the cloud. Including the upcoming TROM II documentary project. #tromlive

I did try that via Syncthing. But now I do not have "another building" available. The only solution is to ask a friend to store some 8TB of data for me, which is a lot. We need very good speeds, I have to encrypt all data so whatever it reaches my friend's computer is encrypted so even he cannot access it. We need 20h uptime. It is too complicated and I did try.


We moved status.trom.tf to status.tromsite.com since it makes more sense. trosmite.com is the main website. While trom.tf is a project of tromsite. ;) #tromlive


We have removed check.trom.tf because it was not fully trade free. The code was using some google analytics in the background. Thanks to @miku86 for reporting it! We have opened 2 issues with Yunohost and the main code developers about this.

If they fix it we will bring it back! #tromlive



matrix.trom.tf (Matrix) will be upgraded today. There might be some down times. #tromlive


A big thank you to those that keep on supporting us monthly/weekly! We have enough money to make it till (maybe) March. See tromsite.com/donate/

You support 39 trade-free books, hundreds of videos, a documentary + one in the making; You support a curated news/videos website that is updated daily; another website full of trade-free documentaries and courses; a trade-free Operating System + hundreds of hand curated trade-freee apps; 24 trade-free services that are alternatives to big online services from google services to facebook and so forth; you support our Trade Free Directory and more.

We do a ton of these and we push this trade-freee idea!

If you can, please help us so that we keep on doing these. Being low on money will put a pressure on us and the project. #tromlive

We plan to remove ytb.trom.tf from our trom.tf services. Unfortunately it does not work properly. Unless we restart the service manually every day, it won't work. And even when it is not down is not working well. There are many Invidious instances out there that are much better maintained. I suggested to Yunohost to remove the Invidious package since it is not working properly.

We are also going to give up musikwave.com starting december so make sure you save your music collection somehow.

Our Friendica instance is not working properly it seems but we won't give up on it. Our Nitter instance works ok but at times is down. The rest of our websites seem to be working well.

social.trom.tf is throwing some 502 nginx errors at times. We will investigate why. Likely becuase we updated it yesterday and maybe the update was not 100% ok. Sorry about that. #tromlive


IMPORTANT !

Folks we are going to update our social.trom.tf at around 00:00 Madrid time, on 20th. meaning in a few hours from this posts. We advise you to not use much any of our services in that period of time since they may be down or we may have to restore some server snapshots in case the update and restore of our social.trom.tf will fail. #tromlive



There were some issues with our latest TROMjaro ISO, probably the way it uploaded to our Nextcloud. Now is all fixed it seems. Grab it from here drive.tromsite.com/s/ocDNX4Nm2… - Sorry about that. #tromlive


We are sorry the registrations for git.trom.tf/ were not open when we released it. We fixed it now. #tromlive


We are releasing a new trom.tf service! Git (Gitea) git.trom.tf/ - registrations are open. We have also moved our TROMjaro source code there git.trom.tf/TROMjaro . Clean, no bs. Trade-free! #tromlive
