We have updated our Peertube to version 7! Lots of cool stuff - read more here.

But the most important for us is the visual aspect. Now we are using the main and default and much improved Peertube themes (Dark/Light) with very very minimal changes (maybe 5 lines of CSS).

No more broken UI, no more being unable to have a proper dark theme, no headaches with every Peertube updated. They have made an awesome theme and we will go with that.

We need to promote this platform more often and I ask people to try and be a bit more brave ;) and prioritize Peertube. Post there like we do. Sure you may get less views, but you are growing a trade-free (saner) platform, and thus saner minds that do not have to be exposed to the tsunami of ads that Youtube infects every viewer with.

Congrats @PeerTube for doing an amazing job!

@Tio not sure; but I tried also to set the browser's user agent to imitate firefox and it still didn't work, so it may just require more up-to-date web tech.

hm ok....I see what you mean

Maybe the people from @PeerTube have an answer.



TROM.tf server updated to the latest Yunohost and Debian. However our Matrix server is currently not working, probably lots of database migrations are still on the way. Hopefully in a few hours it should work, if not there is some work to do to fix it.

TROM Send is not working - will see what can be done about that. For now it has been removed.

And we have removed our Pixelfed instance. It was setup for testing purposes and I, Tio do not have time to manage it. Plus the YNH package is not very up to date. Lastly, we are running very low on diskspace for TROM.tf so we need to only keep relevant and useful services.

If in the future someone from TROM wants to manage a Pixelfed instance we can fire one up ;).

There is a lot of work for TROM behind the scenes, so you know!

Troubleshooting, troubleshooting, troubleshooting..... It is always more work than you think, programming is hard and all but testing and troubleshooting is what actually takes up a lot of time, it drives me mad sometimes. So yeah, I imagine the "behind the scenes" work on managing TROM is harder than people think.

Hey I just wanted to say that this donation really came in a time of need and I'll always be grateful for this kindness 🙏

I also have plans to contribute to other TROM projects beyond just TROMjaro Linux, I'm still in the process of learning new things so let's see..... 🙂



For the past several months no one could install flatpaks from our Trade-Free TROMjaro app Library - tromjaro.com/apps/ - and now we finally fixed it thanks to @Rokosun ! One click installs :)

We have curated around 700 trade-free apps for the library and we plan to add a lot more the following months. Check it out!

Thank you Juan for becoming our new supporter for 200 for TROM campaign! tromsite.com/donate/ - If this campaign reaches its goal then TROM will be sustainable, kinda forever. It will allow us to run the so many projects/services for a while, without stressing over the money situation.

Help if you can. Spread if you can. Thanks!

Everything we do is trade-free. So the only way to support TROM is through volunteer donations.

We have a new awesome service for TROM.tf - TROM READ - read.trom.tf/

Basically you can save any page (with images) to your trom.tf account. You can highlight parts of it, add tags, add collections, even create a sharing link to share it with others. This is an amazing tool for research.

You can read more here readeck.org - and ask for an account if you want one since for now there is no open registration feature, but we can make an account for anyone.

And do not forget to install the browser extension and connect to your read.trom.tf so you can save any webpage faster.

Please consider supporting TROM financially if you can so we can provide more such services - tromsite.com/donate/

The counter on the webpage is only showing 46 donors tho, did you forgot to update it? :blobcatgiggle:
in reply to Rokosun

No. That's how many there are. I said we need some 150 more, instead of saying that we need 154 more :)


Big thanks to those who support our 200 for TROM donation campaign tromsite.com/donate/ - there are 44 people donating 5 Euros a month and we need 200 in total. We provide a lot of materials and tools - see the donation page. Your support allows us to keep these alive and relevant, and if enough support to continue to produce more.

Remember, among many things, we provide a video platform with unlimited uploads for anyone, a file hosting platform with 10GB of storage for any user that registers, a social network and a chat platform. Also a Linux Operating System. A lot, and for everyone. So please, consider donating 5 Euros a month if you can. It is the only amount we accept.

Thank you!
