TROM Call (Jitsi) was removed from the front page of trom.tf because it was not working properly. Unfortunately. It will still be accessible via the old URL and we will try to fix it, but until then it makes no sense to "promote" a broken service. TROM.tf is about services that work. #tromlive

The TROM II Documentary will be released tomorrow at tromsite.com/documentaries/troโ€ฆ

It will be available for everyone, of course, and with proper English captions and sources. We are streaming it via our own video platform videos.trom.tf (Peertube) so there will be no censorship this time.


Keep in mind, this documentary style is very different from the first documentary. This is more of a "personal" documentary that revolves around 5 people, but it expands far more than just that, presenting an "overview" of our society from an alien perspective. Please keep your expectations low and keep in mind that most of the work was done by one single human being, from recordings to editing and so forth.

Also, we used no stock footage, so everything you see there is real. No fake bullshit.

Ok. We hope you'll get some value out of it.

We've updated the presentation page for our TROM Files trom.tf/files/

See how awesome this is. LibreOffice in the cloud with collab editing tools (writer, spreadsheets, presentations, diagrams). Plus a Notes app, plus a powerful Photos app that allows you to organize your photos and videos and even edit them.

TROM Files can preview PDFs and multiple 3D file formats. And it has a built-in Music App so you can listen to your music/podcasts.

It's all about those files, and they are all encrypted. We have no clue what you are hosting with us.

Take advantage of it!

Nextcloud is generally a very private & secure option compared to other could hosting services, but you should keep in mind that it doesn't provide end-to-end encryption by default, so I recommend everyone encrypt their sensitive files before uploading.

We moved from OnlyOffice to Collabora (Libreoffice) for our TROM Files. It is nicer, more simple, no BS integrations with 3rd parties like google and the like. No worries, there is compatibility between the files created with OnlyOffice and Collabora. Read more about the Nextcloud Collabora integration here nextcloud.com/office#nextcloudโ€ฆ

And join our TROM Files here files.trom.tf

You get 5GB of space and we can increase up to 20GB if you need more.

We value us and the environment in terms of trading capabilities. That's what we define as "value".

Some TROM.tf cleanup:

- We will remove sketch.trom.tf/, diagrams.trom.tf/ and office.trom.tf/ . These services already exist via our TROM Files files.trom.tf/ . No point in wasting server resources for the same services.
- We closed any new registrations for git.trom.tf/ . This service can be easily abused and we do not have the resources to deal with that. We accept new registrations but only for "friends". For people who we know or we can check to make sure they will not abuse the service.
- We will remove meme.trom.tf - Probably no one uses that little service anyway.

More cleanup to follow!

We care about producing more and more stuff, regardless of what impact that has on human lives or the environment. We call that "the economy".

Quote of the day.

On our planet humans have to trade themselves from age 18 to 65. After which they may have to struggle to live for a few more years. And we think that's a fair life for them.

Quote of the day.

The way we motivate humans is to make them terrified about their survival in our system. We make sure they understand that if they are not part of the trade-system they can die. That's how we run our society.

in reply to TROM

we make people work by threatening them with poverty, that's why its called wage slavery. Oh, and this doesn't apply to unpaid work like volunteering, so you gotta have a "job" where you trade or you're fucked. Well actually you don't even need to work much at all if you can trade some other way like through investments, so in the end it's not even about making people work but it's about making them trade and sell more consumerist shit to others, and destroy our environment in the process.


It is extremely unlikely that anyone has the time to finish any subtitles for the documentary in a week or so, before we release it. But I think it is totally fine to release the documentary together with proper english captions plus full transcriptions, so that after the release anyone can jump in to create subtitles.

We will make sure to have everything well organized in order for anyone to get involved collaboratively. Unfortunately we cannot find a proper collaborative tool for subtitling that is trade-free, so we will probably use amara.org.

We can say with certainty that the documentary will be fully released the next week. But we do not know the exact day.

Quote of the day.

We do not care if you are a good human being, all we care is if you can trade and what you can trade. Jesus, Superman, and the like, would have to have side-jobs or rely on donations if they were to survive in our trade-based society.

The listing of sources for the TROM II documentary is done! They are categorized into Footage, Music and Sources. And there are a lot of them. Now the only thing left is to finish the transcriptions entirely. @Sasha, @Tio and @Rokosun are working on that. The first and third part are already done. And the rest will be done in just a few days time.

@Georgi @Alexio and @Roma are already working on the translations.

We will release the documentary before the end of this month regardless if we have any subtitles ready or not.

We've added a new service to our TROM.tf: TROM Translate - translate.trom.tf/


An alternative front-end for Google Translate, serving as a Free and Open Source translator with over a hundred languages available and text-to-speech.


We've tried LibreTranslate with self-hosted translation models, but it is very slow and lacks a lot of languages....for now we will stick to this Google Translate interface. This tool should be useful for those who will start to make subtitles for the TROM II documentary.

Enjoy!
