We removed forms.trom.tf because we have office.trom.tf that provides a similar service/feature. #tromlive

Apparently the Peertube was not fixed, was broken even more. I restored the previous backup. Now all works, except installing plugins/themes, which we didn't really use anyway. You know we said we should wait at least a week after any update is pushed to any such big trom.tf service so we make sure there are no bugs. Maybe in a week others will complain about a potential bug and ynh will solve it. However we ended up opening github issues ourselves before others, and thus help identify such bugs and eventually have them fixed by ynh or peertube. So...we will see. The good part is that videos.trom.tf is working perfectly fine for everyone at the moment. #tromlive


We updated and fixed our Peertube instance's plugins issue. We also updated our Cryptpad that is now featuring a Forms module, instead of Polls. Seems very useful and interesting. See it here office.trom.tf/ - because this feature is present in Cryptpad we will probably remove the "forms" service from trom.tf since it seems like an oldish service and it is not properly translated into English.

Tomorrow we will release a new TROMjaro ISO with the latest Manjaro updates + a minor fox for the Calamares installer theme. #tromlive

Our Liberapay support increased a lot over the past weeks. From some 10 Euros a week, to 55 Euros a week. We do not know if this is a bug or something, but if not thank you to the people who support us there - liberapay.com/TROM/ ! #tromlive

We've added a new services to our trom.tf/ - a simple internet speed test that is trade-free. Here it is speed.trom.tf/ - it is not yet visually customized but it is fully working. You should not trade your attention (ads), or unnecessary data while testing your internet speed! ;) #tromlive

This is the "united" states of America ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=RWVt_arzYo… where many people are homeless. They are many things-less. Healthcare-less. Family-less. Respect-less. Food-less. Comfort-less. Security-less. And so forth. The "united" states of America spends a ton of their resources/energy on their military power, meant to kill others. Also, it produces a lot of so-called "billionaires", humans who have so much money that is impossible to imagine.

It is not like USA cares about its citizens. Or being a citizen means much. It is a crazy world of trade, where everyone wants more for themselves. The game makes us like that. We should, all of us on this planet, have by now at least the basic needs of all humans met, trade-free. Like a "default" thing once you are part of the human race. The fact that we don't even have that, says a lot about our trade-based society. #tromlive

"Tax details of US super-rich allegedly leaked" - bbc.com/news/business-57383869

Of course the rich are not paying the taxes, or pay very little of. It is not the fault of the government, not the billionaires' fault either. It is no one's fault. It is this trade-game, this monopoly cardboard, that we all play. This game will make someone like Bezos not willing to pay the "fair" share of their taxes since that means a huge loss for him, despite him being a multi billionaire. For every player, there are competing players in this game of trade. You compete with your neighbor, Bezos competes with Musk. Playing "fair" will make you a loser, so why would you!?

It is beyond ridiculous to accuse any human, when the game of trade is such a powerful driver of bad behaviors. Unless we change the game, we will change nothing. And to change the game, we must at least start by understanding it. #tromlive

Thank you so much Taras for this message (refereeing to the latest blog post by Tio):

Β·Β· Hi Tio, I just saw your post and I would like to explain why I decided to donate 2000 to the TROM project. It is not just because you posted about your situation. I think you are creating an important educational base that can lead to changes. Information by itself will not change our world, but ideas like "trade free" may influence people who will start this change. quote Β·Β·

And for another 100 Euros donation.

What makes me the happiest is that he understands the importance of this trade-free idea. I think this idea has a lot of potential if it becomes popular. And we will try to focus on it more and more in the following years. Thanks Taras again! #tromlive



Thank you so much Seb for the 72 Euro donation! tromsite.com/donate/ - These people are so amazing. Thank you very much! #tromlive

Thank you Tara for being amazing.


Big thanks to those who are still supporting us on LiberaPay or Patreon, monthly and weekly. In these times of being broke, even little donations are making an impact. We keep TROM alive because of these humans. Thank you very much. And if anyone can donate, you can do so here tromsite.com/donate/ #tromlive

Here's another awful example of how our trade-based society pushes clusters of people, under the religious name of "business" to destroy everything in their paths, just to trade this-for-that. ytb.alexio.tf/watch?v=ikneKQAe…

Beginning of the month money count for TROM. We are left with around 900 Euros total to run all of our projects. Which is desperately low. We have to pay around 50 Euros a month for hosting, and some 50 for the Internet maybe, in order to keep them. Also, what do we eat? Well....

If you can help us, please make a donation here tromsite.com/donate/

Mind you, we provide a ton of tools trade-free for everyone. So if you consider this work as important, and you are able to help, that would be great. tromsite.com/ + tromsite.com/tools/

It seems ytb.trom.tf/ is working now. But when it does not, use ytb.alexio.tf/ ;) #tromlive

Our ytb.trom.tf (invidious) is not working currently. Perhaps our instance is blocked for good. We will try to fix it today and post an update about it. For now you can use ytb.alexio.tf #tromlive

For those who don't know, we have a super useful tool tromnews.com/ that is been our main source of information/education for the past 5-6 years and it has improved a lot in the past months. We are curating news from all around the world with a focus on science and technology; we curate educational videos, amazing photos, interesting posts or illustrations. The website is not yet optimized for mobile phones (but we will work on that).

So, if you want to keep yourself updated with what is happening in the world, and discover amazing content - basically keep your mind clean, sharp, and informed - then we cannot recommend anything better than TROM News ;). #tromlive

Prison Earth - by Sasha videos.trom.tf/videos/watch/95…

Video inspired by Sasha's article - bigworldsmallsasha.com/2020/01… and recorded/edited by Dima dmitrylisenko.com/

Welcome to Prison Earth. If you’re a very well-behaved inmate, you might not even realize that you’re locked up. If you never try to step outside, if you never question the guards or the other prisoners, and you do as they all do- work, work, work- slave your life away, and take β€œvacations” only when they let you, for as long as they let you- you might never even question the prison. You might be numb to it, quietly existing, working in the system, perhaps drinking or taking pills to cope with the lack of meaning in your imprisoned life.

I hope you’re not like that. I hope you question, and take a step outside, at least with your own mind.

ytb.trom.tf is back and working again using this tutorial forum.yunohost.org/t/unable-to… . We've also updated our Searx instance + a bit more work on some of our websites. #tromlive

On my local server I had tried at one point to install invidious then uninstalled it. When I went to upgrade the repo was still present, and because of the it wouldn't work. Thankfully someone on the forums showed me how to remove it by commenting it out
