Now TROMnews has categories for the news to make it a lot easier to sort through them.

The homepage also got a bit of a rework for the News section:

TROMnews is now far better than it was before. If you'd like to support this work please consider helping us here https://www.tromsite.com/donate/

Foldit

Foldit is an online puzzle video game about protein folding. It is part of an experimental research project developed by the University of Washington, Center for Game Science, in collaboration with the UW Department of Biochemistry. The objective of Foldit is to fold the structures of selected proteins as perfectly as possible, using tools provided in the game. The highest scoring solutions are analyzed by researchers, who determine whether or not there is a native structural configuration (native state) that can be applied to relevant proteins in the real world. Scientists can then use these solutions to target and eradicate diseases and create biological innovations. A 2010 paper in the science journal Nature credited Foldit’s 57,000 players with providing useful results that matched or outperformed algorithmically computed solutions.

Some issues with TROMnews that we are trying to fix:

- Some news/items do not link to the original source, but to the excerpt on our TROMnews...only a few do that but it is strange why.
- Some sources are not automatically updated for some reason...so we have to trigger the update manually...this is not great in the long run and we are trying to investigate why....mainly the Photos and FInteresting are not automatically updated. Luckily the News are.
- The Peertube sources cannot display a featured image and that sucks....we do not know what's a way around it but we will try...

As you can see there are still things that need to be fixed, but overall the new TROMnews is a great source of information!

Yah I wish I knew how to do these. But we have so many websites it would be impossible for 1 person to do all of these and not use 3rd party plugins/scripts.
in reply to Tio

@Tio @TROM

Yeah for sure these plugins and stuff makes it quick & easy for you to design websites. You need to know some programming and stuff to manage everything by hand and even then it'll take some time, if I learn enough skills to do this then I'll try to help you with the programming side of things so that you can focus on the content side.

We've updated our TROM Videos too. Now Peertube has more cool features like the storyboard - you can hover with your mouse over the seekbar of a video and see thumbnails. Pretty nice!


We are currently generating the thumbnails for all of our videos (may take a while to finish), but any new video uploaded from now one will have this feature.

You can also add chapters to your videos and more. Awesome job @PeerTube !

From now on we will post a "must watch" documentary from VideoNeat on our Peertube's homepage - https://videos.trom.tf so make sure you check that out and subscribe to our VideoNeat channel - https://videos.trom.tf/c/videoneat/videos

This year we will try to focus on the content for our TROM Videos and bring new creators, plus create new videos ourselves too.

So please, if you can, help us here https://www.tromsite.com/donate/ - we only need 160 more people to donate 5 Euros a month to support TROM forever.

Updated our TROM Files to Nextcloud 28. Biggish update. We had to remove the following apps tho, since they were not compatible: files_3d, files_markdown, metadata, video_converter, extract. Whenever these are available for Nextcloud 28 we will enable them.

Take advantage of our TROM Files https://files.trom.tf - you get 10GB of storage space and access to better tools than Google's Drive. All trade-free.

Guix

GNU Guix System or Guix System (previously GuixSD) is a rolling release, free and open source Linux distribution built around the GNU Guix package manager. It enables a declarative operating system configuration and allows system upgrades which the user can rollback. It uses the GNU Shepherd init system and the Linux-libre kernel, with support of the GNU Hurd kernel under development. On February 3, 2015, the Free Software Foundation added the distribution to its list of endorsed free Linux distributions. The Guix package manager and the Guix System drew inspiration from and were based on the Nix package manager and NixOS respectively.
