Some TROM Updates:

We likely fixed the Friendica crash and downtimes. For the past weeks our TROM Social could become so slow to load that it won't load anymore. We allocated more resources to the instance and so far seems to work great with no downtimes.

We fixed the issue with Peertube not sending emails to Gmail or other big email providers. When users made accounts with these email providers they wouldn't even get an email to confirm the account. Now it seems to work. And so is for our Friendica and Nextcloud instances that were suffering from the same plague.

We released a new TROMjaro yesterday - just updates.

Finally we are testing a Pixelfed instance. :) Another tool for our TROM.tf services!

Would be great if we got more financial support for all of this work. If you can please see this tromsite.com/donate/

Thanks!

Thank you Jean for becoming our new 5€ a month supporter tromsite.com/donate/ !!

And thank you to everyone who supports TROM financially. We do a lot of projects. We provide a Friendica instance and have over a thousand users, a Peertube instance with unlimited uploads, a Nextcloud instance providing 10GB of space for everyone and a full Office Suite...a custom Linux distribution, a documentaries-based website...

See our donation page how many things we do. And we will do more!

Our Friendica has been more stable for the past days. This is good. Maybe leftover database tasks from the recent update made our CPU work so hard. So far all is looking good.

We will update our TROM Social tomorrow!

Be aware that some things may not work well for hours. And in case of failure it will take us some time to restore from a backup. Let's hope all will go well. And if you'd like to support what we do and pay for our servers, you can consider a donation here tromsite.com/donate/ . Is up to you, our services will always be trade-free regardless. Cheers! @Tio

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!

On top of our custom themes now our Friendica (social.trom.tf) also has this BookFace theme for those who want a more "facebook" like experience in terms of looks.

So go to settings/display and choose your own theme.

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.

Our Friendica instance got updated to the latest stable and all of our custom themes were updated and we added 2 more: Brown and Grey.


Go to Settings - Display to test them out.

They will be shared with the Friendica's developers if they want to include them in the default Friendica's themes or get some ideas about future changes.

Big thanks to these people who create Friendica for being so awesome and for keeping Friendica so useful and feature-rich!
