trom@social.trom.tf

This project argues that trade is the origin of most problems: from climate change to slavery, waste and pollution, corruption, crime, you name it. And if we understand the cause, we have a chance to come up with realistic solutions. We backup up these claims via documentaries, books and videos that are freely available for everyone.

The usual updates plus: We have removed the package qt6gtk2-git and replaced with qt6gtk2. The git version was maintained by someone who was calling himself a “Russian troll” And the project was archived anyway.

How you can try to fix this world, realistically.

Maybe you can start it first per tribe, then expand globally.

Goal: humans should not have to trade in order to survive in this society. Since this creates a tsunami of problems for people and the rest of this planet. (source)

Plan:

Basic needs trade-free.

Make the most basic needs services trade-free. Healthcare, transportation, shelter, basic food, access to Internet (information and communication). You can do that through taxes, through volunteers, through all sort of means. Many tribes already provide some of these as trade-free, like in Europe a lot of the healthcare systems are like that. Not difficult!

Goal: humans should not have to trade in order to survive in this society. Since this creates a tsunami of problems for people and the rest of this planet. (source)

Plan:

Basic needs trade-free.

Basic Income.

Since this world still relies on trades (money), and people may have different sort of needs and definitely wants, give everyone a basic income (say 1.000 dollars a month) with no strings attached. You can do it again through taxes, via the removal of so many institutions and resources dedicated to track people and check if they are eligible for benefits, and all of the paperwork nonsense that has been created around this. No more "benefits", no more "pensions". Forget about labeling people as employed or unemployed in regards to who should be helped.

That is it!

Now you will have a bunch of humans who KNOW they are taken care of. They KNOW that if they get sick they should only worry about that health problem and not a financial problem. They KNOW that they wont starve or end up on the street. They know they are SAFE.

On top of this, with the money you give them monthly, they can have some power and focus on doing some useful things in this society. At least some will, if not many.

This can grow up over time into a saner society of humans who can refuse to work for bullshit companies, or do any bullshit jobs. A world in which humans have the time to decide what to focus on, who to "vote" for, stay informed and properly inform others.

A world where scientists or journalists should not worry about their livelihood. So they can do their "jobs" properly.

We deserve and need this world. Else there is no intelligent species on this planet.

Parked near a lake.

Beautiful night sky :)

These are the places I love the most. Kinda alone. Nature. Peaceful.

Today we got another Abuse report from the hosting company. I think I am quite sure there was something bad with our server, namely with our Synapse (Matrix) server. It was accessing iPs from outside every second or so. Lots and lots of requests. After investigating we realized we had around 500 guest users. These users do not need an email account/registration to be part of the server. We enabled that a while ago. Bad decision.

We nuked them all today. Now hopefully that was the issue and many of these were bots spamming other Mat

Hunt for the Oldest DNA

YEAR: 2024 | LENGTH: 1 part (59 minutes) | SOURCE: BBC

description:

For decades, scientists have tried to unlock the secrets of ancient DNA. But life’s genetic blueprint is incredibly fragile, and researchers have struggled to find genetic material in fossils that has survived for millions of years. Then, one maverick scientist had the controversial idea of looking for DNA not in fossils or frozen ancient tissue – but in the soil.

This film follows the scientists deciphering the oldest DNA ever found and revealing for the first time the genes of long-extinct creatures that once thrived in warm, lush Arctic landscapes.

What It’s REALLY Like on a Dolphin Research Expedition - videos.trom.tf/w/qAPES3ALtu17v…

Very well made video. I like when Mara narrates actually, it is quite easy to listen/follow. Plus maybe you can focus more on what you film, edit, the story?

Very interesting project. But I was also wondering how do they support the project? How did you guys join them? Did you pay? Did they train all of those other people for free?

They have some funds and grants. But also part of the funding comes from volunteers who joins their missions or go trough the training. Normally you have to pay, but since we were making video we paid only for the food on board.

There is link under the video, and Mara at the end saying if you want to know more or join, there is a link

Ya I know it is a link, I clicked it, it was in french. Could not figure it out how they make money or if these volunteers have to pay to participate. All Im saying is that for your videos would be useful to include some basic info about this - because both I and Sasha were wondering after seeing the video if you guys had to pay for the training for example.

The Sickness-Society: either you are well and functional — or sick and dysfunctional - madintheuk.com/2025/03/the-sic…

Psychology is like recycling, you think it is working, but it is not. Never addresses the core problem. So easy to put people into categories and call them "sick". Works well for a livestock society. Best excuse to never touch the system in both cases. Continue recycling...continue labeling people as mentally ill. And let the system survive....

Truth is the opposite. It is this trade-based society that makes people mentally sick, and if we want to change that we have to change the society, not adjust the people to it.

Very good and on point article!

Just another Stable release so that we keep our ISO up to date. Some packages were rebuilt to make sure they are working fine.

search.trom.tf/ was moved to our secondary server to avoid future problems with the hosting that warned us against recently about a kind of "abuse" - We think might have been the search engine that probes the searx instance list when doing a search. Will see.

But for now the TROM Search works as usual only that it has been moved to a different server.

UPDATE: Officially the problem has been "fixed". But lets see....we will look for another provider and in case we will be forced to move, we should be able to do so in a day or two.

Our TROM.tf server was flagged by the hosting company as "Abuse: NetscanOutLevel: scansnarf-ng detected Netscan from: We have indications that there was an attack from your server." - and we have a few hours to fix the issue else they are going to shut down the server....

Please be aware of that since the websites may go down and we may have to move to another hosting provider...

This is very bad news but unaware what it can be. Please keep an eye on status.tromsite.com

We will try to update there in case anything happens.

Thank you Michael for becoming our new Patreon! Although we primarily rely on the 200 for TROM campaign and the donations that go through it - see tromsite.com/donate - we also have a Patreon patreon.com/c/TROM and Liberapay account liberapay.com/TROM/ .

These accounts were up and running before the 200 for TROM campaign so we decided to not close them. After all we calculate all of the Patreon and Liberapay donations towards the 200 for TROM campaign.

Thank you to everyone who supports our project!

Big thanks to the 200 Euro anonymous donation! Much much appreciated! tromsite.com/donate

We still have an ongoing fundraiser for our backups - gofundme.com/f/paying-for-the-… - we need 40 more Euros. While we can, and we will use some of the money from the latest donation for it in case we do not raise it all, it would be much appreciated if the people who use our services can help us pay for the backups.

Our instances of Friendica, Peertube, Nextcloud, Matrix and more, are used by hundreds if not thousands of people. We are backing up all of their data in the cloud. So please help if you can.

Thanks!
