We have 3 more supporters who donate 5β¬ a month. Thank you so much to Colin, John, and Kershaw! tromsite.com/donate/
We need 12 more people to start a new video series, bring back TROMnews, and increase the storage for our TROM Files (nextcloud) to 20GB for everyone.
Maybe we can make it happen. Would be fantastic!

We have managed to finally move from Gitea to Forgejo - git.trom.tf/ - thank you @Roma for doing it :).
But we had to move repo by repo so we could not move the users. Only 3 other users used our git, and all of them were not active for the past year. This TROM Git is pretty much exclusively used for our TROMjaro project, but anyone can request an account there and use it fully.
Now TROM.tf is fully moved to the new server!

Our chat.trom.tf (Matrix/Synapse) has become very difficult to manage - growing database, not an easy way to prevent bots from registering, or others from abusing our service.
For now we have closed the registrations and only accept them via requests. We have 460 users but we are thinking to perhaps shut down the entire service this year.
Too much work considering anyone can make trade-free accounts with matrix.org or other providers....
We will keep everyone informed about our future plans.

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!

TROM Send is back! send.trom.tf/ This time we are using Jirafeau instead of Lufi. It is simpler and easier to use. Encrypted and up to 10GB of file sharing. Enjoy! :)

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!

Customized our TROM RSS rss.trom.tf/ theme and fixed our TROM Social login-theme for mobile ;)
One day we will make a short video presentation for each of our services. Until then, feel free to use them all trom.tf/ - trade-free!

After many months we are bringing back our TROM.tf Search! search.trom.tf/ thanks to Danny!
But with a twist. Instead of hosting a SearX instance we are using a script that checks the best and most reliable instances and uses them randomly for every search. It is a meta-search engine. This way we make sure it is reliable and our IP will never get blocked by google and the rest.
For those who do not know, SearX is itself a sort of meta-search engine, pulling results from google, DDG, yahoo and more, removing the ads and trackers, and basically allowing you to search without those viruses.
So, we are finally back!
To add it to Firefox simply right click the URL after the page loads, and then add the TROM Search as a search engine. From Firefox's settings make sure you select it to be as default for your browser.

in reply to Tio • • •@tio Nextcloud Talk is a great Software, but there aren't good security options on it, the conversations are saved in clear text on backend.
If you have some tips for this point, I would pleased to see it ;)

in reply to P_L.yml • •I understand. I hope they can add encryption to the chats...but on the other hand if anyone gains access to our server and is able to read that "text file" in the backend, we are screwed anyway since we host a lot of services on or trom.tf. Including Friendica which is not encrypted....
So yes, I do prefer an encrypted chat, but things must be put into perspective. Our Nextcloud instance at trom.tf already provides encrypted files/folders for all users, so at least we have that.
