Thank you so much to everyone who is supporting TROM financially every single month!
We provide a lot of trade-free content and services, and we will provide more. Right now we are still far behind what we need to run this project in a sustainable way, but via our 200 for TROM campaign (see tromsite.com/donate) we hope that in time, with little steps, we will achieve that.
Thank you to all of you! #tromlive

Our TROMjaro Theme Switcher has been fully re-written by @Rokosun in Nim and the owlkettle library. Our theme switcher is now made in a more sane way.
When you select a theme it will remain highlighted using the accent color of the selected theme. The notifications are also improved and you can see the theme icon in the notification preview.
Roko had to learn all of these from scratch, in order to make it. He is always improving our custom TROMjaro scripts and on top of that he is a proper human being: calm, nice, smart, down to Earth, and so friendly. How awesome that he is helping TROM so much without asking anything in return. That0s becuase he does not "work for TROM", we all work together to build something important and useful!

We had to remove the donor wall from tromsite.com/donate/ because it was incorrectly displaying the donors. At times it was displaying the donors who donated for other campaigns, or displaying those that canceled their monthly support. Sorry about that. If we make it work we will add it back.
A massive thank you to everyone who goes out of their way and donates 5 Euros a month to support this massive project of ours. We will produce more content and projects for sure!

Thank you Ioana for becoming the 38th TROM Supporter! :) - We need to find 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month for TROM to support us forever - see tromsite.com/donate/
Currently we are working on managing our backups a bit better because it has become quite expensive to backup TB of data. We work on a new release of TROMjaro too, and more such technical stuff.
However soon we will shift gears and do more TROMcasts and hopefully either start creating new books that are already in the making, or transform them into a long-term video series. If we reach the 200 for TROM goal, then it will be all of that, and more, plus no more stress. To be able to continue to fight, while not getting rich off of it.
In the long term, like we said before, we'd like to create a decentralized sharing platform where people can share from gadgets to food and everything in between.
TROM is active, and more so when we get new supporters! :) Thank you!

TROM Files (Nextcloud) provides 10 GB of storage space for everyone! And we can extend up to 20 GB to whoever needs more storage. All trade-free.
TROM Files is like Google Drive + Google Photos + Trello + more into one single package, but no bullshit subscriptions, ads, data collection.
You have access to Collabora (Libreoffice cloud) - a powerful Office suite that allows you to edit any documents and collaborate on them.
You have access to a Photo Gallery app and the ability to edit your photos directly in TROM Files:
You have access to a Notes app and a Music player. Plus "Deck" to organize your teams and tasks.:
Lastly you have access to a fully featured Calendar:
Please share so that everyone takes advantage of this. There is no catch if you understand what we do at TROM. We've been creating trade-free materials and services since 2011.
And please consider becoming one of the 200 people that we need in order to support this TROM project forever --->> tromsite.com/donate/

We are all humans. Atoms that make cells, cells that make us. We are not israelies, palestinians, americans, jews, arabs, europeans....we are HUMANS. And we have more than enough resources to share and live in a paradise on a beautiful and complex planet.
What a shame that the same brains who can understand how the universe works and the complexity that we have discovered so far, can be imprisoned by nonsense ideas and beliefs, and then kill each other because of these.
Shame!

Our next TROM big project will be a stuff sharing platform that uses the Activitypub protocol. So anyone can spin their own local sharing platform and connect with the rest. It is a long term plan, but we will try to do it. It is just an idea for now.... but the other TROM projects were ideas too.

All of our TROM Files are again available via TROM Files tromsite.com/save/ - we make everything available for everyone, as trade-free. If more people would practice what we do, to create trade-free goods and services, the world would be a better place. It is tough of course, since the entire society relies on trade. But we must start something like this, despite being so difficult.

The move of TROM.tf to the new server is now complete! As a bonus we have raised the storage for TROM Files from 5GB to 10GB for everyone, plus added Deck - an alternative to Trello, so that you can organize tasks and collaborate with others.
We've also increased the size limit for TROM Send from 5GB to 10GB.
The new server is more powerful and has a lot more storage space. But also a little bit more expensive. So please consider a donation to support TROM.
Cheers! #tromlive

Our TROM Videos, Peertube, now runs from our new server! videos.trom.tf
Unfortunately for TROM Send we could not properly restore it so we have lost the temporary files. Mind you these shared files via TROM Send are temporary. To make up for this we increased the 5Gb limit to 10GB per share! :)
Only one that needs to be moved is TROM Social (Friendica). Which should be moved tonight!

We moved all of our TROM.tf services to the new server except:
- TROM Social - Friendica
- TROM Videos - Peertube
- TROM Send - Lufi
- TROm Tasks - Vikunja
We will continue the move. So far so good.

in reply to Roma • • •Dude thanks a lot for telling me about this language, I feel like it would've taken me a long long time if I were to write this in something like C, but #Nim offers a very simple and flexible syntax without any major performance drawback, it actually compiles to C code which is amazing.

You don't have to, I'm working on it as we speak, haha ๐ @tio asked me if I could also rewrite our Layout Switcher in Nim, so maybe I'll do that too let's see. Overall I'm really glad to have found this owlkettle library, I'm forever grateful to the developers of that library because it is what made it possible for me to write GUI apps, the developer even made some tutorials on YouTube which were extremely helpful.

Oh man you are so kind, I honestly couldn't have done it without you. I was reading this article the other day about how people often overlook non-code contributions in the FOSS community - opensource.net/non-code-open-sโฆ
It made me think of you and how most of the work in TROMjaro is not related to code at all. Anyway, here's the funny thing - at one point I remember watching some YouTube tutorials to learn how Inkscape works, and man it was not easy at all ๐ So for me it's very impressive how you can quickly design these little icons and such, Theme Switcher wouldn't have been possible without those nice button icons you made - the UI is the only part visible to the end users so it's important to make it look nice and intuitive. It's amazing how we can work together to make this thing that none of us could've made alone ๐
