Anna’s library preserve books, papers, comics, magazines, and more, by bringing these materials from various shadow libraries together in one place.

The world is full of explorers, and full of things to be explored: The Map of tomorrow is an interactive online platform for initiatives of change and sustainable businesses. Organic farming, open gardens, free educational initiatives and, of course, visionary cohabitation are just some of the examples.
Positive aspects can be collected for all future-proof places. How ecologically, socially and in public interest is it, what is being traded here? The more positive factors an entry has, the larger its pin is displayed on the map and the more users act intuitively sustainably.
Our goal is a sustainable world that I can trust and love!
The usual Manjaro updates plus we added the Nextcloud desktop app to TROMjaro. Since we also provide trade-free accounts to Nextcloud via our TROM Files now it is so easy to integrate it into TROMjaro.

TROMcast: TROM II - A Message to the Aliens (cast)
In this TROMcast we will discuss about the recently released TROM documentary "A Message to the Aliens".
The documentary description:
We live in a world where everyone is busy, everyone is consumed, everyone seems confused. Money, social credits, ads, data collection, prices and billionaires. Climate change? Who cares!
A one-marble world, floating in a giant soup of stars and planets, clustered in donut-shaped galaxies.
What are these humans living for?
In a 5 hour, 4 parts documentary, we try to explore their world, to understand what makes them human, what makes them enslave their kind, destroy their habitat, and be unaware of their place in this universe. But also what makes them so special.
Through the lives of 5 humans, we look at the culture that creates them, their struggles growing up on this planet, and where they are headed toward.
TROM II: A Message to the Aliens Year: 2023 / Duration: 4 parts, 5 hours We live in a world where everyone is busy, everyone is consumed, everyone seems confused. Money, social credits, ads, data collection, prices and billionaires.
Our Nitter instance works again thanks to some magic that the developers have done. We rely on it for our Illustrations part of TROMnews tromnews.com/illustrations/ and generally for RSS purposes. Twitter is trying hard to not let anyone use their "assets" (website) without being logged in, tracked, abused with ads, or pay a membership on the website. Trade-Incentives.
Ok so we are happy that bird.trom.tf/ is working again. However for how long no one knows probably. #tromlive
Tomorrow the 12th at 7PM Madrid time, we will do a TROMcast about the recently released TROM II documentary: A Message to the Aliens. Everyone is free to participate. We will have most of the "cast" of the documentary and the live will go to our Peertube, here videos.trom.tf/w/n6jXRKRZi3Bnx…
You can participate via our live chat or join us for the video call (we will share the link shortly after the live will start).
The usual Manjaro Stable updates but also some fixes that you, the one already using TROMjaro, have to do. Go to the folder etc in File System. Find the file pacman.conf. Right click and “Edit as Root”.
As some of you already know, these pieces of software act as an interface for the big ad-platforms like Youtube, Twitter and Reddit. They remove the ads, trackers and all of the bullshit, and let you see the content. Now YouTube is banning the IPs of the servers that use Invidious, Twitter has cut the public access to their website and thus no way to make Nitter work, and Reddit has limited their API and thus more and more Teddit/Libreddit instances will die.
This is a cat and mouse game, and the cat has huge resources. We cannot host Invidious on our TROM.tf because we cannot afford to change our IP every 2

This is a cat and mouse game, and the cat has huge resources. We cannot host Invidious on our TROM.tf because we cannot afford to change our IP every 2 weeks. Our Nitter does not work, and Teddit may die soon. Although the developers are working to circumvent these issues and make these instances work again, this is a concerning situation overall.
The solution?
For Youtube: use FreeTube. It runs locally and it is the perfect Youtube trade-free interface. It is a lot less likely for Youtube to shut this one down. Alternatively look more into Peertube. Unfortunately all of the video content is on Youtube....
For Teddit: use the Reddit's RSS to subscribe to subreddits. Alternatively look into Lemmy. But again, most of the content is on Reddit...
For Nitter: Forget about Twitter and move to the fediverse where there are millions of people already.
Facebook, Threads, TikTok, and the like, are ad-platforms that cannot be "fixed" by any interface. Their content is also not worthy of anything.
Be brave and slowly ditch these ad-networks.
We are working on a book about The Internet and there we will detail all of these. Unfortunately the financial support that TROM gets is so low that we may not even create that book or any other book. That too can be changed if people would support this project monthly, like a coffee worth of support - tromsite.com/donate/
Nice. However FB is a marketplace and you cannot hide the promotional posts made by so many. But it is a very nice addon indeed, for those who still want to use FB for whatever reason.

The openHAB project started in 2010. In 2013, the core functionality became an official project of the Eclipse Foundation under the name Eclipse SmartHome. openHAB is based on Eclipse SmartHome and remains the project for the development of bindings. According to Black Duck Open Hub, it is developed by one of the largest open-source teams in the world. It also has an active user community.
MQTT Explorer is a comprehensive MQTT client that provides a structured overview of your MQTT topics and makes working with devices/services on your broker dead-simple.
TROM II documentary talks about the fediverse quite a bit. We mention Friendica, Mastodon, Peertube and the like. Plus we promote FOSS. The documentary is a stab at today's society, but not a deadly one. It is a positive documentary in the end.
If you care about the fediverse (and may other important things), go watch this documentary and please help us spread it.
