Syncthing Debian/Ubuntu Packages
The Nextcloud desktop client does not provide a way to change the local sync directory. However, it can be done, though it is a bit unorthodox. Specifically, you have to:
- Remove the existing connection which syncs to the wrong directory
- Add a new connection which syncs to the desired directory
To do so, in the client UI, which you can see above, click the “Account” drop-down menu and then click “Remove”. This will display a “Confirm Account Removal” dialog window.
-
If you’re sure, click “Remove connection”.
-
Then, click the Account drop-down menu again, and this time click “Add new”.
This opens the Nextcloud Connection Wizard, which you can see above, but with an extra option. This option provides the ability to either: keep the existing data (synced by the previous connection) or to start a clean sync (erasing the existing data).
given the attack at the DNC on billionaires and the rich, while dragging out their own incredibly wealthy people, including the Obamas, Oprah, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. But they're hypocrites.
She also spoke about "income inequality," although she was able to become a billionaire in this country.
But Trump had the best response to Winfrey's appearance at the DNC.
The Trump War Room account dropped a letter from Oprah where she says it was one thing "to live a life of integrity — still another to have people like yourself in office...Too bad we're not running for office, what a team!" //
She also had him on her show in a very welcoming way to share his views.
He's been consistent in his thought; it's they who have changed. Even then, he was talking about his concern for the country. They loved him and his money until he was put on the "bad list" by the narrative. //
Winfrey also promoted JD Vance's book at one point as well. That was prior to the narrative being constructed against him.
Instead of promoting a positive view and positive policies for America, the DNC has spent most of their time attacking Trump, having him live rent-free in their minds. They also spent a lot of time lying and ignoring reality, including about things a jobs report that scaled back the jobs created by more than 800,000.
The second-largest diamond ever found - a rough 2,492-carat stone - has been unearthed in Botswana at a mine owned by Canadian firm Lucara Diamond.
It is the biggest find since the 3,106-carat Cullinan diamond, found in South Africa in 1905 and cut into nine separate stones, many of which are in the British Crown Jewels.
The diamond was found at Karowe mine, about 500km (300 miles) north of Botswana's capital, Gaborone.
Botswana's government said it was the largest diamond ever discovered in the southern African state.
The previous biggest discovery in Botswana was a 1,758-carat stone found at the same mine in 2019.
Botswana is one of the world's biggest producer of diamonds, accounting for about 20% of global production.
In a statement, Lucara said the stone was "one of the largest rough diamonds ever unearthed".
"We are ecstatic about the recovery of this extraordinary 2,492 carat diamond," said Lucara head William Lamb.
The diamond was detected with the use of Lucara's Mega Diamond Recovery X-ray technology, said Mr Lamb.
It has been used since 2017 to identify and preserve high-value diamonds so that they do not break during ore-crushing processes.
For the first time in recorded history, the workforce has reached what Abraham Maslow called “self-actualization” — and it changes everything about how to lead an effective organization! Author Ben Ortlip codifies workplace cultures for some of the most admired companies in the world.

At no point did any news outlet report that Trump told Netanyahu to not take a deal with Hamas, much less for political reasons as Woodruff claimed. She made the story up out of whole cloth, and then, instead of admitting it, doubled down on lying about it by blaming other outlets. That's a breach of journalistic ethics that would make Dan Rather blush.
We’re always at our strongest in our fight against sin when we see how it trades away God’s goodness for what’s much less satisfying.
Marshmallows and Trust
The marshmallow test was a 1960s psychological experiment that measured delayed gratification in children. One group of kids resisted the temptation to eat a marshmallow while the other group couldn’t. The study concluded the first group would have more success in life while the others would struggle to succeed.
The test isn’t without methodological problems, but its “findings” are influential enough that they probably shape the way you think about what you’re innately able to do or not do. For instance, have you ever said, “I just can’t seem to help myself”?
Sin trades away God’s goodness for what’s much less satisfying. //
Kidd concluded children can delay immediate gratification for a future reward in the context of a trusting relationship. //
It’s not that different with fighting sin. Just as with Satan’s lie in the garden, and comparable to Kidd’s version of the marshmallow test, doubt lies at the heart of every temptation. Doubt in God’s goodness. A temptation to believe transgression will deliver satisfaction God can’t supply.
Each of us is made with a desire to enjoy sexual pleasure. It’s part of God’s benevolent design to provide us comfort, satisfaction, and procreation in marriage. But trusting that design is difficult when the world puts constant marshmallows in your face and tempts you to think the art supplies will never come.
According to the Media Research Center, the media is skewing favorable coverage to Harris by a huge amount. This isn't necessarily a new thing. The corporate media sector has always slanted so far to the left that it's fallen over. However, the lengths they're going to do it is pretty incredible:
Not only has Harris received 66% more airtime than former President Donald Trump, but the spin of Harris’s coverage has been more positive (84%) than any other major party nominee, even as Trump’s coverage has been nearly entirely hostile (89% negative). //
As always, our calculation of spin omits so-called “horse race” assessments (see methodology statement below), but a separate count shows those statements have also favored Harris by a whopping margin (94% positive, vs. just 43% positive for Trump). At the same time, the network coverage has virtually eliminated any discussion of the strident left-wing positions Harris took as Senator or during her 2020 presidential campaign. And while Republican Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance and his Democratic counterpart, Tim Walz, have received nearly equal amounts of airtime, the networks have celebrated Walz (62% positive press) and punished Vance (92% negative). //
To give you an idea of how in the pocket they are for Harris, the fact that she hasn't even talked to them has only received 57 seconds of air time over the past four weeks.
Well, let's check in with Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo who was asked about this at the DNC on ABC. She was asked if she thought these new numbers could be a "potential liability for this [the Harris-Walz] campaign."

Trump campaign trolls Harris, releases policy website for her after weeks of silence https://trib.al/MeSjFWz
12:01 PM · Aug 21, 2024 //
"Kamala Harris has yet to tell voters what her policies are, so we thought we’d help them out. Kamala Harris wants to open the borders, raise taxes, and free criminals," a Trump campaign national press secretary told Fox News Digital about the website.
The site, kamala2024policies.com, launched Wednesday morning on the third day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and takes viewers to a website declaring, "Kamala Harris' dangerous policies are nothing to laugh about."
Texas is also dealing with what appears to be an attempt at voter fraud--and AG Paxton says he and his office won't sit idly by and let it happen. In a statement released on Wednesday, Paxton announced he's launching an investigation into numerous reports of organizations secretly registering illegal aliens to vote, while pretending they are simply registering eligible voters:
I will say that Clear Choice — this PAC, this DNC-aligned PAC — that was created specifically to take us out has spent millions of dollars to take us out. They have, unfortunately, turned us into a spoiler. And we don't want to be a spoiler. We wanted to win. We wanted a fair shot. The DNC made that impossible for us. They have banned us, shadowbanned us, kept us off stages, manipulated polls, used lawfare against us, sued us in every possible state. They've even planted insiders into our campaign to disrupt it and to create actual legal issues for us. And I mean, the extent by which the sabotage they've unleashed upon us, it's mindblowing. I mean, we're still learning new ways that they have sabotaged us.
It is exclusively because of the Democratic Party taking us out. And I am so disappointed I ever helped them. //
And, you know, given this, I think we are taking a very serious look at making sure that the people that have corrupted our fair and free democracy do not end up in office in November. It's hard — I mean, it's really hard, Tom, to say these words, because it's also acknowledging how bad things are.

Alaska is also rich in resources, not least of which are crude oil and natural gas, those two commodities that are so vital to our economy. Much of that gas and oil flows through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez. This Alaska pipeline is a vital piece of American infrastructure. Running 800 miles across the Great Land, much of it through the wilderness, TAPS brings 450,000 barrels a day of crude oil to American consumers; that's about 3.5 percent of American production.
The Biden-Harris administration is considering further restricting oil development in Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve (NPR-A), the nation’s largest swath of public land. The Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will be soliciting public comment on whether to expand or designate new “special areas” in the 23-million-acre reserve. //
This June, these environmental groups filed a legal petition to the U.S. Department of Interior to phase-out and decommission TAPS: the Center for Biological Diversity; Pacific Environment; Sovereign Iñupiat for a Living Arctic; Alaska Community Action on Toxics; Fairbanks Climate Action Coalition; and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (also see here).
“[TAPS] is approaching the end of its useful life due to mounting climate change-driven damages to both the aging pipeline infrastructure and the entire Arctic ecosystem,” the six petitioners state, also citing “the imperative for the United States to rapidly transition away from fossil fuel-based energy.” //
This, in turn, conflicts with federal law by preventing the fulfillment of the Alaska’s statehood entitlement; economic development, including responsible resource development, to assure Alaska’s future prosperity; and the long-term settlement of land ownership across the state. //

Correction: the daily volume is 450,000 bpd, not 45,000. Best job in my life was as an engineer on TAPS from 1980-1995. A wonderful adventure for a young man.
While JPMorgan Chase & Co. forecasters see a decline of about 360,000, Goldman Sachs indicates it could be as large as a million.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, a frequent critic of the media, pointed to how some things were left unstated in the piece but deserved mention, like the fact that Kamala Harris herself undoubtedly knew of Biden's decline as did the press - by the WaPo's own admission: //
Throughout all of this, the corporate media has shown us who they really are over and over again, gaslighting us on Biden when it was obvious what was going on and only conveniently reversing course after the debate out of sheer panic over Biden essentially confirming what his critics have said about him all along, the same critics who purported news outlets like the WaPo relentlessly bashed.
there was a moment during the rally that caught everyone by surprise. A woman in the audience appeared to be having a medical emergency — possibly heat-related.
Trump paused his speech and summoned a doctor over to assist her. Then, after waiting a few moments, he strode down off the stage and out from behind the plexiglass over to the stands where she was to check on her directly.

The DNC is the worst event I’ve ever been to. People are getting trampled, jumping over barriers.
Floor delegate behind me just called it “absolute chaos,” another said “a really bad system in terms of somebody getting trampled”

The DNC told press we could get credentials starting at 9:30.
Now everyone in the media is standing around because they don’t have them—the volunteers were told credentialing doesn’t start until 11.
A lot of scoffing and eye rolling, complete cluster

I’m legitimately shocked at how catastrophic the logistics of the DNC are. I’m talking to an Illinois State Rep, Cyril Nichols (D), who has given up on trying to get in. “This is horrible,” he says, pointing out other State Reps still stuck on the endless “line” to nowhere

They also noted the difference between the DNC and the RNC, which they called a "smoothly operated event."
"The gap that I see in all these speeches -- as good as they were -- [Kamala Harris] is in the White House right now. Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years, and for all of the talk about division and the problems in the country, and people are hurting, Democrats have mostly controlled this country.
Trump had it for four, the Obama's and Biden had it for the rest of the time, and somehow, it’s still all Trump’s fault, and somehow, she hasn’t been at the center of it. To me, that is the glaring hole in this campaign that hasn’t yet been solved at the convention. How do you explain all of the problems that will be solved by the person who is currently in there for the last three and a half years, and who is supposed to be already working on solving it?"
