Our rss.trom.tf does not work with youtube currently, making our curated videos tromnews.com/videos/ also not working. It should be working soon, but so you know...this may be because youtube may temporarily block our server. #tromlive

We have temporarily closed out tromsite.com/chat . We got invaded it seems, by trump-and-god lovers, and conspiracy crackheads. Until we calm them down, we do not have the resources to deal with them any other way. Right now our videos.trom.tf and our tromchat got invaded. We will deal with this, but yah it is a sad world... #tromlive

Wait....they invaded TROMchat ? WTF ? 🀯
in reply to Rokosun

haha yeah with messages like

You are either a Friend or Enemy in this War on Freedom and Information. Do you or do you not Know about Event 201 and the Deep State Network all around the World?


Tio Trom we know who you are.
just wait till the rest of the Anons come

These people are so lost.



We are talking about the Peertube situation on our public chat here tromsite.com/chat - if anyone is curious or wants to engage. It is something we have to deal with. #tromlive

Our videos.trom.tf registrations are open again. We've added a captcha + limited the user uploads to 1GB for now. Lets see how those goes, but yesterday was a reminder that these trade-free tools will get overly abused in this overly idiotic society. We will have a TROMcast next week (will post the date in a few days) and discuss all about this issue. If anyone wants to participate and has better ideas about how to handle these situations, would be great. #tromlive

Our Peertube instance (videos.trom.tf) got blasted with over 100 user registrations for the past hour or less. At times more than one registration per minute. This is abnormal and for sure these are bots. We've seen some "qanon" conspiracy crap videos being posted immediately after these registrations on our instance. Until we investigate further we've closed the registrations and restricted user uploads. So yah.....there we go....the internet friends...youtube's and facebook's garbage is trying to find a new place to post their nonsense.

It is very unfortunate but we will come up with a solution. Our Peertube instance will never die. #tromlive

I thought you were pretty confident that they're bots. If they're actually humans captcha won't stop them.

This would be really hard to deal with. I think you might have to start censoring these, this sucks :(

in reply to Rokosun

I was sure they were bots, at least most of them. Since they registered every minute. Like 5 a minute at times....I opened the registrations again with upload limits + captcha to see what happens...and it seems they keep on registering. So yah...challenging....


We have some great news about our social.trom.tf! Our Facebook/Twitter trade-free alternative is now up to date and it works with native mobile and desktop apps. Which means you now have no excuse not to move from Facebook or Twitter, to social.trom.tf :).

On desktop Whalebird works fine. On Android: AndStatus, Tusky, Fedilab and Husky work great.

We will add more info about this on our trom.tf soonish.

We've also updated all of our Dark themes for the web version and they look much better now. Easy to use, clean. We default now to TROM Red Dark until we fix the light themes.

So yeah, our social network is now up and running, updated, and available on all platforms.

I'm a #fedilab user. Good to know it works fine with friendica, I'll be testing it when I have time and maybe move to it πŸ˜€

A quick tip for the current TROMjaro users that got the latest updates. if your left side menu doesn't work properly - like when you right click a favorite app the menu displays in the up left corner and you cannot click any menu options, or if you can't right click the apps icon (bottom left) to then go to the menu (Dash to Dock) settings, do these two commands:

1. Open the terminal.
2. Paste "cd /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/dash-to-dock@micxgx.gmail.com/ " and hit enter. Now paste this "sudo mv schemas schemas-bak" and hit enter.
3. Restart your desktop by pressing ALT+F2 then write "r" and enter.

Done! Now works. #tromlive

This is how you can add any type of file to notes.trom.tf social.trom.tf/display/dbc8dc4… making it a great alternative to Evernote. #tromlive


You ever wondered why Elon Musk has not yet changed the world for the better, like he gave us the impression that he will? It is because he was busy making himself the richest man on Earth. But hey, you know maybe he will do good things with all of that money...right? right!? right...?!?!?

In the meantime you can pretend to be Musk and spend all of his fortune here spend-elon-fortune.netlify.app… and even get a receipt for it. Go ahead, see how many houses you can buy, how many cars, or digital collections or yachts. Try to spend it all.

Cheers #tromlive

in reply to TROM

This is one crazy thing people don't understand about billionaires - they can't even spend all their money even if they try to. Then you may ask - why do they keep making more money then ? πŸ€”
I honestly don't know. No one knows, its a sort of craze/madness that keeps them doing it. A craze for making money, if you will.

But the end result is always the same - that money goes to waste, even the ones making the money can't spend all of it 🀦

#tromlive



We have added two more trade-free services to our trom.tf/ (they are in testing mode for now) :

1. MAPS: an almost complete alternative to Google Maps. You can create your own maps and save them, edit them collaboratively, import routes, add points of interests and a lot more. All without an account and without limitations. maps.trom.tf/


2. PASS: a trade-free alternative to LastPass and the like. Mind you: Storing your passwords on a server is always a dangerous idea. We try to protect our server from attacks and data leaks, and we keep everything in check and updated, but we are a small team and we can't guarantee it. Keep that in mind before you use this service. pass.trom.tf/

These are meant for testing for now, so please let us know if you experience any bugs and such with them. Contact us here tromsite.com/contact/

Now everyone can access OpenStreetMap and Bitwarden from a trade-free provider. This is amazing ! πŸ˜€

We hope people use such tools. And we will add more. We are testing a notes app that works with any device and is fully encrypted. So you can have a proper Notes app synced across all devices. So yah, thanks to yunohost we can provide and maintain such tools. ;)


A new service added to our trom.tf - check.trom.tf/ :

SPF Toolbox was created to be an easy, free open source way for people to get information about any domain. #tromlive

Rokosun reshared this.

in reply to TROM

I don't know what this is or how these info could be useful, but I'm giving it a boost anyways 😁
in reply to Rokosun

It is useful to check any domain out there, like who owns it, where is it hosted, what ports are open, and so forth.
in reply to TROM

Yeah, I know. @alexio sent me link that explained it very well :)


We are still testing new services for trom.tf. Two we am excited about are a trade-free alternative to Trello (the tool that so many use to organize tasks and teams) + a Google Maps alternative. The latter already works super well, but we need to fix some stuff. All thanks to @yunohost who provides such tools in a way that's easy for us to install and maintain. #tromlive

The boats that do not sail - videos.trom.tf/videos/watch/d8…

This is another video about our society. We live in an abundance of stuff, yet many people don't have access to that, because of this trade system, where you have to trade something in order to get something. #tromlive



Now all works good with our Peertube instance! So, ditch youtube and come there upload your videos! videos.trom.tf - unlimited video uploads ;). Trade-Free! #tromlive

Rokosun reshared this.



Our Invidious instance ytb.trom.tf now has an anti-captcha integration which should make it pretty resilient from being blocked. Youtube is the largest video platform out there, so we need a way to access it trade-free. ytb.trom.tf lets you do that. You can even create an account in seconds and subscribe to any youtube channel. No ads, no bs, no trackers. Pure video watching! That's the beauty of trade-free! ;)

And as a reminder, for those who do not use TROMjaro (why aren't you!? :) ), you should install this awesome browser extension github.com/SimonBrazell/privac… which will replace youtube, google maps, google search, twitter, instagram, reddit, google translate, with trade-free alternatives automatically. And our instances are already added to the list. Take care of your brain because it is the one controlling you ;).
