So there is a massive power outage in Spain and Portugal right now. No phone service, no Internet, no "modern" life 😁. The cause is unknown - https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/04/28/spain-portugal-and-parts-of-france-hit-by-massive-power-outage

What is funny is that we are in the mountains in spain with our TROMhome and we had no clue about any of these. We are fully offgrid in terms of power.

We have lots of solar panels, enough batteries, and satellite internet. So we are all good.

Perhaps we are indeed ready for an apocalypse. Waiting for it here in Picos de Europa 😀

But yah, interesting this happened. Likely no "mysterious" cause. Keep an eye on the updates here - https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd9t

I think if I lived 678 years I would never get bored and I would have new projects to do all the time. I feel like I want to do a lot. And I do a lot every day, but the days are too short for my motivation and drive. The weeks, the months, are flying by so fast. The years, still more ahead than behind, but soon they will balance, and then you'll ride the ones ahead. But it's all about making the best of this ride, even tho too short.

This year we have a motorhome, very little money, and a lot of plans.

Make sure you follow us on Peertube https://videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/videos - we will go chase the darkest skies in Spain, meet with some wonderful friends from the project, volunteer, and do a lot.

We now have a Wishlist for our TROMhome project because we are broke and if anyone wants to help they can directly do so. Here https://tromhome.com/#wishlist

For example we need to put a satellite dish (a Starlink Mini) so that I can keep our servers updated, do backups, upload our TROMjaro ISOs from the middle of nowhere, and in general be available online to help with the TROM projects. We need it specifically for my work on TROM.

So if anyone can help we have a GoFundMe for it https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-get-a-satellite-internet-dish (450 Euros). I hate that they are putting satellites into the orbit, but we have no better option in Europe. The monthly fee of 72 Euros is also gigantic for us, but again I need an unlimited Internet access...

If anyone can help that'd be fantastic. If not is ok we will buy it eventually.

Thank you in advance! 😀
