We were able to finally move our entire TROM.tf to a new server. Some 2-3TB of data.
Old server: i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 8 cores, 32GB RAM, 2 x 1.8TB SSD. 46 Euros a month.
New one, same CPU but 1 x 1TB SSD + 2 x4TB HDD. 54 Euros a month.
We are using the HDDs as one, around 7.5TB of storage in total, for storing the data for Peertube and Nextcloud. This allows us to expand the storage for these ones 2-3 times more than on the previous server. Retrieving data from HDDs in this case is totally fine and we see no slow down of these services.
Thanks to that we enabled one more resolution, 480p, for our Peertube instance. 3 in total now. Will only be available for the newly uploaded videos.
We also have a new IP so emails can reach Gmail from our server, finally...but we have disabled "import with URL" for our Peertube to protect this IP from getting banned.
Overall it was a very difficult process to move to the new server and our TROM Git still cannot be restored....we need to fix

Overall it was a very difficult process to move to the new server and our TROM Git still cannot be restored....we need to fix that. We need to also keep an eye on the other services and make sure all works well.
We were able to move to a new server thanks to the donations we got recently. Thank you!
We are paying some 8 Euros more a month now for the new one, but it is worth it.
Anyway, enjoy trom.tf and stay tuned because we will offer more storage space for our Nextcloud soon! :) For anyone who wants ;)

in reply to Sally (evil) • •Trade is a practice that is at the core of our global societies, from China to USA and everything in between. And it is the root of most of our problems.
We explain it all in detail in this book tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…
We also made a documentary based on the book tromsite.com/documentaries/tro…
And a short presentation if the above are too big - videos.trom.tf/w/6R92qduTeGHma…

in reply to Sally (evil) • •The reason we use "trade" to describe the global society is because all of these "isms" are making it all very confusing and everyone understands whatever they want from them. Lots of words, but I think it takes some time to detach from these "isms" and see what is behind the global force of consumerism.
The force of trade indeed makes people behave like total cunts, to put it simply. Be it in groups like companies, or governments, or individuals, etc..
