friendica 2026.05-1595A bunch of atoms that are curious about the world, but furious about the society. We should help all humans to have a decent life without any strings attached, so that we can understand us, the atoms, and the rest of the universe. And create a smarter and saner society.
Since 2005 I make documentaries, write books, and enable many trade-free platforms for everyone.
Religious message from around the Moon youtube.com/watch?v=WdgsAtjrxq…
Humans are a bunch of ants. They are great at creating rockets and all sort of tech. But can be total idiots at the same time.
Mixing religion with "we are all one and have to take care of each other" is like shitting on a cake. It really is not necessary. It is obvious we are all one. Reality showed us that in so many ways. That's powerful! Not your stupid silly religion or holidays.
Man this species is depressing as fuck.

Bluetti VS Custom Power System - videos.trom.tf/w/86uzfqsAHh86C…
This is the final video about our power system. Since we use 2 completely different and independent power systems, I thought we are in an ideal position to compare the two since we always switch between them.
On one hand we have a Bluetti AC180 power unit connected to 260W of solar, on the other we have a custom built power system with 2x100Ah 12V EcoWorthy batteries, a Victron 100/50 MPPT, and a 1000W inverter - all connected to 650W of solar power.
We will compare the specs, the costs, the reliability, upgradability and repairability.

Motorhome Power System: 6 Mistakes - videos.trom.tf/w/9bivUa41wQJYf…
These are the biggest mistakes I made with our power system for the motorhome. So far nothing too severe, but these mistakes are the reason why we ended up with such a complex power system.
From buying the wrong power station to blowing up the car relay, these are the mistakes I made 😄.

1 of May, Workers' Day...
Many humans, all obey
Trade their way
In this system they are prey,
Celebrations on the way!
Hey Hey Hey:)
This society is still primitive since it relies on everyone to trade, be a worker. Else you are fucked. There should be no celebrations about that. This trade based society has to go. Makes no sense anymore and transforms us into mindless robots.

RE: tiotrom.com/?p=9129
I consider what is happening in Catalonia as an example of stage 0 Culture Cancer. Post cancerous. Localized, mostly treatable.
The Catalans are quite angry at the “outsiders” who do not put in the effort to learn Catalan, or care about the Catalan culture and community. They try to forcefully speak Catalan regardless if the others understand or not, and refuse to speak Spanish at times. They marginalize the outsiders and create a tense situation.
And the “outsiders” hate the Catalans and their “tribalistic” and rude attitudes. Or simply do not give a fuck about Catalonia in general, and whatever is happening there, making the locals even angrier at them.
The mix is anger, discomfort, separation, marginalization. From both sides.
However, this cannot be too much of a generalization. This is mostly happening in smaller villages from my knowledge, or very touristic regions.
Most people in Catalonia seem to be nice and decent people overall. Most will speak Spanish if you only know Spanish. My doctor even speaks English just to make it easier for me, even if is a bit harder for her. Granted she is not even from Catalonia. But she tries to speak Spanish, Catalan, and English.
However you do feel a tension between the Catalans and the rest.
You just feel it…

Amazing solar eclipse experience! I will share a lot more these days. But yah FABULOUS!
Awesome to meet @n00b0ss@chaos.social :) - we found the perfect spot. Tomorrow ready for the eclipse!
The Universe tried to stop me so hard from enjoying the eclipse. So many problems it threw at me. Well, guess what Universe, I will still go. Yes no Sasha, yes no Tortuga, yes other problems, but I will go.
We meet up somewhere in Spain to see the total solar eclipse. I fixed the telescope.We have all we need. We go and see.
I will try to also record it but my priority is to see it.
Just a recap of the past year for me since today is a 1 year anniversary.
A year ago my father started to have serious health issues. He had 3 strokes in a matter of months. He could not talk well, lost some cognitive abilities, and some motor functions.
Same time I started to have abdominal pain that only a month ago faded away. I've been to hospitals too many times. Was on painkillers for some time.
For months I lived in terror. Terror that my father would die (every time my mother called I was answering with a lump in my throat); terror for myself because my health problems were kinda mysterious.
For months I was struggling with my motivation to continue with TROM or in life. You get to notice the shitshow this society is, so for someone like me who wants to "change this world for the better" it is the most demoralizing of things.
What kept me afloat was my life with Sasha because I knew I am not alone and together we can help each other and move on. Sasha's grandma also died this period of time and she was someone who even watched our adventure videos with the motorhome. So sad about that.
For the past few months I was able to get myself back on track with TROM by releasing TROM Articles. My parents were ok and stable now. I supported Sasha to go do a hike by herself in Iceland because I care so much about her and want her to be happy. I thought she will get back and we are both charged up, happy, and ready to really live our lives.
While Sasha was in Iceland my sister got some bad news. She had some health problems that could have been terribly serious. Weeks of waiting for results....so much stress again for all of us in the family.
Sasha comes back she tells me she cheated on me and also wants to break up. The world fell apart for me that day. Next few weeks were the most horrible in my life.
I was getting ready for the eclipse in August when we meet with many wonderful friends - I was so sad Sasha won't be part of this but so happy to see my best friends. Prepared for this for almost 2 years now and the telescope decided to break after 10 years...just now...
Past week my sister had surgery and that went bad. She was bleeding a lot we had to go to the ER where we waited for 6 hours to have her fixed. It was horrible. Same day my father had the 4th stroke. He had more troubles speaking and was confused.
I failed to pass the car inspection with my motorhome (my home) for the first time in 2 years.
At times we had a wonderful time like when I went together with Sasha for 3 weeks with the motorhome. I feel like crying out of frustration when I think about those times and how they won't exist anymore.
But overall the world, for me, has been horrible. For my sister too. For my family too.
I feel like I lost my best friend and partner, and partially my father. And I am concerned for the future. Very.
I lost my hope and trust in humans. If Sasha, the most wonderful human on Earth from my perspective, could do this to me and abandon me like that, anyone can. At least that's how I feel.
I do not have something to cling on for the future, a hope, a desire, something that can pull me towards a better life. I have to create this for myself.
Next few months will be crucial for me, my sister, my parents.
But I discovered FRIENDS. So many people jumped in to help.
Thank you Roma and his parents, Natasha, Benji, Aaron, Lenka, Roko, Shas, Agata, Jeff, Yair, Alexio, Clara, Guil, Dani, Joan, Basti, Xantulon, Matthias, Sofie, Sasha's mom and everyone else who reached out to me/us and helped us so much.
And so to mention, Sasha was also there to help in case I needed help with my parents/sister. She helped me financially and said I can rely on her with any other help. Too ironic that the most awful for me is what she did to me...I'd prefer no help from her, just to not have done what she did.
Life goes on, but for the past month or so it feels like a stupid dark comedy for me. Too many bad things happening. It's going to be extremely tough the next months. For now the best is to take it day by day literally and deal with problems one at a time.
In a few days we will meet with some of our wonderful friends. Then we go see the eclipse. Then we all go back. And then the real reckoning will begin. To be able to help my parents, my sister, myself. To be able to find some hope again and accept that my life has to radically change. To find ways to support myself financially. To...to learn how to live a life that is happy and meaningful.
I hope in a year from now, August 2027, my future self will read this from a happy place and look back and think "wow what a shithole I was into back then". Please be so!
This is life...at times is going to be a horror show for us. And then it will pass. But the process is indeed terrible.
For now, let's focus on the Eclipse and will see about the rest after that. I hope no more bad news will strike us now....
We are atoms and always will be, in this form or another.

RE: tiotrom.com/?p=9040
Here's something new that I learned. In Spain, and likely everywhere else:
You get sick, say you bleed abundantly from a surgery that went wrong, and you have to stay in ER for a day to have you fixed. You lose a lot of blood and need to stay at home for a few days because you cannot work.
So: stress, trauma, money spent to go to the hospital, others helping you, etc..
The hospital gives you medical leave, as is normal.
Great? No.
Guess what?
First few days you do not get paid from work. The next weeks you get 65% of the salary.
So you are fucked health wise and in this system apparently is normal to not even get paid from your job...I mean you can't fucking work even if you want to, and you can't even get any help.
I cannot work because I bleed...
Oh..ok no problem here medical leave.
Thanks. Oh wait and I also lose money because I lose blood?
Yah...if you don't work, you cannot get paid...
But...but I cannot work for a few days...I need help...
Yah. Well. That is the law. Take care!
If this does not sound insane to you, you have a serious problem. You are part of the problem actually.
INSANE!
This Trade-Based Society is just that: Trade. All else does not matter. People's lives are measured in trading hours.
Go to sleep humans, you are nowhere near an intelligent society. You are the most primitive dominant form of life on any planet probably.

Folks I am aware our Friendica instance does not work very well lately. Loads super slow or not at all at times. I know and I will try to fix it. But for the past days, on top of my issues with being dumped by my best friend, my father had the 4th stroke in 8 months and my sister had some serious health issues we stayed in ER for 10 hours yesterday.
I am very tired, very depressed, very consumed by life.
As soon as I can look into this issue with Friendica I will.
