Here's what we provide via our Nextcloud TROM Files as trade-free (purest form of free, no ads, no trackers, no AI no BS):

- 10GB of storage space and we can extend it up to 20GB for whoever needs more
- A fully featured document editing, perhaps even better than Google Docs
- A Photo managing app, with tags, auto sorting, photo editor, etc.
- Calendar and Contacts app
- Deck - Kaban-style To-Do app
- A Password manager, KeePassNC
- A Notes app
- A Music app and a Maps app

They are all interconnected and functional. All of your profile is encrypted. There is no catch other than providing these tools for free to people, since we too at TROM use them.

So, enjoy and share!

And if you can support us do so here and see what else we provide - tromsite.com/donate/

Because we provide a lot more than this!

We need to urgently replace our server drive that is failing. Starting today our TROM.tf may not work for hours or even days.... keep an eye here status.tromsite.com

Maybe is better to replace it now than wait for it to fail. If you use TROM Social, Videos, Nextcloud and the like in the next hours/days your data may be lost, so you know.

There are better ways to migrate but I, Tio, am currently too busy with too many personal problems and is the best I can do.

Please share.

Wow we are basically there with the campaign:

Thank you so so much to everyone! Fantastic people!

40 more Euros to go basically :) donorbox.org/pay-for-our-trom-…

But yah consider it as a total success!

#campaign #fediverse #fedi #fundraiser

Now that we are raising money to pay for a year for all of our servers, our TROM.tf server decided that its main drive is failing....

We have backups to external locations but please be aware if the entire TROM.tf fails may be the drive and we will have to replace it. In the next days we cannot do that (me, Tio, very busy) but as soon as possible we will try to replace the drive. Let's hope it will not fail in the meantime.....

Thank you amazing people for helping with the donation campaign!! We are so close to the finishing line :)

Life feels like shit recently, but man it also feels amazing to see that there are people who appreciate TROM and its baby projects. Thank you. It gives me a lot of fuel to continue!

#fundraiser #fedi #fediverse #trom #tromsite

We have raised half of our campaign money since yesterday:

Thank you so much! Maybe there is a chance to raise the full amount!

#campaign #fundraiser #trom #tromsite #fedi #fediverse

We raised 223€ out of 1.100€:

Campaign here - donorbox.org/pay-for-our-trom-…

Out of 900 Newsletter subscribers and a few hundreds of followers on the fediverse, only 6 people have donated. We will try to reach those who use our TROM.tf services. If only a handful, literally, of people support us financially then perhaps is not sustainable to run services such as Friendica, Nextcloud, Peertube and more for everyone. We can't pay for them ourselves. Myself...Tio.

Even small donations, a cup of coffee, could make an impact a little bit. We will see by the end of this month how things go. If we really cannot get enough support to pay 1.000€ for our servers for a year, then we need to make our instances only for us at TROM and move to a cheaper server solution.

It is sad. But is no option on the table. Without financial support I cannot pay some 100€ a month for the servers.

Massive thank you to the 6 people who donated! It helps a lot.

Please help us Pay for our TROM servers for a year donorbox.org/pay-for-our-trom-…

Here is the newsletter we sent: newsletter.tromsite.com/archiv…

It is very difficult recently to manage it all inside this Trade Society. Every little financial help, helps!

Mind you there are thousands of people who use our TROM.tf services, and also take value from our many projects and TROM content. So if possible to help us a bit financially.

Thanks a lot!

Our TROM Social (Friendica) finally got updated to the latest stable.

Thank you to the people behind #yunohost and #friendica. You are awesome humans.

You should follow Big World small Sasha on Peertube - videos.trom.tf/c/big_world_sma…

She is making very interesting hiking videos. And she posts on Peertube! :)

We need more people who create original content to use Peertube. Without the content the platform cannot evolve.

Thank you Ognjen for becoming our new TROM Supporter - tromsite.com/donate/

We create a lot of trade-free stuff, and hopefully this month we will release something new. Let's see.

We need 200 people to donate €5 a month in order to support our projects long term. We only accept equal donations of €5 to spread the load and make everyone equal within this campaign.

See the donation page for a detail look at what TROM does ;)

#fediverse #fedi #trom #tromsite #trade-free

Many thanks to everyone to is still supporting TROM financially - tromsite.com/donate/

We ask for 5€ donations if anyone can help, to distribute the financial burden and not rely on a few individuals. There are 83 people supporting us monthly. If anyone thinks this project is worth supporting please see the donation page and help. There we explain all what we do.

Thank you very much!

Thank you Ondine for becoming our new TROM supporter tromsite.com/donate/ - it is so motivating to see new people supporting TROM. Makes you want to put more effort into it, create new things, etc.!

If we get 12 more people to donate 5€ a month we can do these:

We will start a video series for TROM, similar to the books' content.
We will bring back TROMnews because the world needs a good news website.
We will increase the TROM Files storage space to 20GB for all.​

That would be fantastic!

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.
