Hey people,
I need help to pay for our TROM servers for a year. I am really low on money recently and this time I am unsure how to bring it to the surface and make it float... I opened a campaign here https://donorbox.org/pay-for-our-trom-servers-for-a-year
Please help me if you can. There are thousands of people using our services and taking value out of these TROM Projects. Would be a shame to let it dry out.
Thank you so much to everyone who can help or at least spread the word if possible!

That's all. If you want to read more, here is my rant:
Recently the Universe has been all against me. Health problems for me and my family, Sasha split ways with me, financial issues...etc.. Is been so awful you can't imagine. I am currently in Romania because my father had the 5th stroke in less than a year and I am helping my parents move back to Spain basically. All while I am having tornadoes and tsunamis of stress and dark thoughts inside of my brain.
But, I will survive this assault too.
I was about to push myself to create a lot more for TROM. Was working on video scripts for a long-awaited (by me) video series; I was making videos for my Ride With Less channel; I was starting the work on a big and important TROM Article about AI....Was doing a lot! And I had to drop it all to come to Romania and solve this issue with my parents.
There is a lot to do and talk about, and somehow I am still here keeping TROM and myself alive. The Trade, this practice, is the orchestrator of most of our problems. What happens with AI for instance, the way is hyped and used, is meticulously directed by the same force of trade. The fact that humans may have less jobs because of "it", is also a problem that should not exist if trade was not a necessity to survive on this planet. AI, climate change, waste, stupid people, and so on, are a result of the same core issue that I try so hard to easily explain through TROM. So TROM is such an important project I argue. So important and in my view so unique, that is terribly incompatible with this fucked up society. And so, is such a war to try to keep this project, these ideas, alive and make them known.
People work, are tired, is Monday, is Tuesday, is Friday. Is another week. Come home, eat, do chores, watch some fantasy stories via these thingies we call movies or tv shows, scroll on phones, drink a beer, and move on. News about wars, endless TikTok seconds-long-AI-slop, the world is an asteroid traveling at immense speeds towards a black hole. Is so hard for projects like TROM to change the course of this. But like a fly on that asteroid I will hold on and buzz about it. Flap those wings until I can't. If I can't change the world I will for sure change myself, as a person. And hopefully a bunch of other people. We have plans...more than just the online ones. But for now they are wild (tho achievable) ideas I'd rather not talk about yet. However there is a lot of thinkering behind the scenes in regards to how to change the direction of this asteroid. At least in theory....
So yah, I HOPE I can get back to Spain and as soon as possible continue with my plan for TROM and myself. Without it, there is no "me".
I hope I can get help with this campaign so at least I have a bit of financial security for the upcoming months.
I swallowed so much stress this past months I wonder how I did not end up abusing drugs and giving up on life completely. But maybe what does not kill you...makes you stronger!? I hope so.
Life is a train that is not taking breaks. One day it will stop for us. But while is still going, I will try to make my train worth the ride despite so many roadblocks in my way.
Big thank you to everyone who supported this project one way or another. I am not dragging a dead horse, TROM is a strong and beautiful horse in my view, but is trapped in a forest of bullshit that is this society. We need to get that horse out, keep it fed and healthy meanwhile, and hope that others will notice it.
Take care people!
