We need to talk about Kdenlive video editor on Linux.

Kdenlive is open source software that runs on multiple platforms. Also, Kdenlive does NOT requires a additional graphics card, is not intense on system resources, supports multi-track video editing, supports advance features like audio and video plugin support, supports nested sequences, supports proxy editing, imports most file formats, and is easy to learn.

#til about #AppropriateTechnology

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropriate_technology

This feels like a perfect description of how I aspire to make all my #opensource software nowadays — hbu?

> Appropriate technology is a movement (and its manifestations) encompassing technological choice and application that is small-scale, affordable by locals, labor-intensive, energy-efficient, environmentally sustainable, and locally autonomous. It was originally articulated as intermediate technology by the economist (…)

Improvements for TROM.tf :

Our TROM Social first page (login) is not anymore just an empty page with a simple login, it provides you a peek into the fediverse:

Now you can see what's going on on the network, maybe to convince you to join 😀. It took a lot of CSS and HMTL gymnastics to achieve this. From my tests on desktop with mobile emulators all looks good on mobile, but for some reason when I check it on my phone it does not look as it should....I shall investigate.

Implemented some dark toggles for some of our services, where it was doable, such as Call

Search

Speed

And made our TROM Call, Jitsi Meet, more reliable.

Lastly we spent many days trying to figure out how to make our Peertube Live work better. Hours of tests, lots of logs. Hopefully we can make it more reliable.

After many months we are bringing back our TROM.tf Search! https://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.

TROMjaro is alive and well. And we keep it up to date and relevant - https://www.tromjaro.com - I love our Linux distro! 😀 I love when it is stable and just works. And we also ship with so many tweaks you can simply use it. No ads, no trackers, all apps available in Linux from one single place - click and install. I love it. A very positive project indeed 😀

We now have 6 servers dedicated to transcoding/transcribing our Peertube videos https://videos.trom.tf - thanks to @Alexio who is providing 4 of them! Peertube is now a complete replacement for Youtube and I will make sure to push it a lot more in terms of use and promotion!

Thank you so much Eduard for becoming the 77th supporter of TROM! We run a unique fundraiser for TROM in that we need only 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month in order to support us for the long run.

Distributed support so that it won't put a big toll on anyone, and a limited goal so that we do not get rich.

If you appreciate the so many things that we do at TROM (see https://www.tromsite.com) then please consider supporting us.

#tromlive #foss #opensource #privacy #documentary #fediverse

I had a sudden "what if…?" intuition for a potential #productivity speedup in my #opensource bug reporting workflow when tables of data are involved, and… it turns out that it is actually possible.

As you can see in this short demonstration I recorded below, you can paste #LibreOffice #spreadsheet cells into a #GitLab ticket, and it automatically converts it to a proper #MarkDown table. It just works! What is this sorcery!? 🤯 What a time to be alive.

We provide Mastodon/Peertube/Nextcloud/Friendica and more, as a service. For a cost. Just order and have your own instance, no headaches.

I always do trade-free stuff, but since I am trapped in this trade-system and I do not get enough financial support via the projects that I do, I have to also trade a bit.

WebApe https://webape.site/ is what I do to trade. Basically we create websites, install Mastodon/Friendica instances, Peertube, Nextcloud, etc.. We setup, manage, update, customize.

We try to do something decent and make some money with that, to then support our free projects.

So if you want a Mastodon instance for example, or any other website/service, please see https://webape.site/. I have lowered the prices now, so a Mastodon instance starts at 30 Euros per month.

We will take a limited amount of websites so to not overwhelm ourselves.

Please share if you think others might be interested. In a way, we can make the fediverse more known and accessible via the WebServices that we provide.

I just saw that Mozilla is retiring Mozilla Location Services which provided an open, crowdsourced alternative to proprietary location services from Google and other vendors. 😰

https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065

This is used by GNOME and thus Fedora, Ubuntu, Endless OS, etc. to help provide OS-level location services without requiring every app to implement its own. And apparently a patent troll is part of the reason Mozilla stopped investing in it. 🙃

Thank you Wojmir for the 10 Euros donation! Let us remind you that we desperately need help to fund our backups for all of our projects. We need to raise 300 Euros in less than 2 weeks. https://www.tromsite.com/trom-backup/

To keep on doing trade-free things in a trade-based world is a fight that requires a lot of struggles, almost like swimming against a tsunami. But what is the alternative? Give up and not do anything? That's by far the easiest solution since the water current will push you into the "normal" direction. But for now we are still trying with TROM. We have reached many thousands of minds and with very little funding required. Thus, if you think TROM is still relevant, consider to support it since I (Tio) cannot push it all by myself.

Big thanks to the few people who are still supporting TROM, financially or not.

#tromlive #foss #opensource #privacy #funding

We need help to pay for our backups. This is a yearly funding campaign that we do, so if you can help us please see here https://www.tromsite.com/trom-backup/ - we only need 300 Euros for a full year of 4TB encrypted backups.

This means everything from our videos and documentaries, books, websites, including trom.tf (meaning all of the files that users have uploaded to our services - from Peertube videos to Nextcloud files). Everything!

300 Euros to make sure that we have everything backed-up in a secure place.

Please help if you can and thanks a lot for doing that!

Why I use #Firefox

1. The about:config page
2. Mozilla cannot decrypt my data on their servers
3. Translating web pages is also completely private
4. Mozilla develops their own browser engine
5. The best support for extensions on #Android
6. A great picture-in-picture player

I #trust #Mozilla more than I trust #Google, #Apple, #Microsoft, or any other company that makes #web browsers. This trust is based on the fact that Mozilla chooses the highest level of user privacy when developing services such as Firefox Sync, Firefox Translate, and others. A web browser is an integral part of a person’s #online life, so it makes sense to choose a #browser from a company that one trusts the most.
