My #Nextcould #Tables setup is coming along quite nicely. I've got table trackers for:
👉 Sleep Tracker
👉 Medicine Tracker
👉 Household Chores Tracker
👉 Food/ Drink Tracker
I'll let this go for a few weeks, then I'll start using the built-in Application Developer tools to create a cohesive UI that brings all this together.
So far super, super impressed.
But I do have a slight issue I'm dealing with!
If I use the Nextcloud website, everything works perfectly.
But if I attempt to add data using the Android App the date is always one day off. FOr example, today is the 25th. I have to actually put in the "26th" before the correct date gets registered (and recorded). Doesn't matter if I use the date picker or manually type it in.

Allerdings. Mal sehen was wir noch erfahren werden.
Es geht wohl um die Anklagen Kriegsverbrechen, Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit und Genozid.
Alonso Gurmendi hat dazu ausgeführt, dass das Rechtsystem von Peru für solche Klagen durchaus geeignet wäre. Die haben sehr viel Erfahrung mit dieser Art von Ermittlungen und sind bekannt dafür dass sie ihre ehemaligen Präsidenten gerne mal wegen vergleichbarem verurteilt haben.

#Delgado’s research rivaled and even surpassed much of what is being done today. In #1965, he had stopped a charging bull in its tracks by sending a radio signal to a device implanted in its brain. He also implanted radio-equipped electrode arrays, which he called stimoceivers, in dogs, cats, monkeys, and humans. With the push of a button, he could evoke smiles, snarls, bliss, terror, hunger, lust, and other responses.
In #1969, Dr. Delgado published a book entitled Physical Control of the Mind: Toward a Psychocivilized Society.
ebay.com/itm/234886962368
Delgado did not believe that human beings deserved agency, or the privacy of our own thoughts. He asserted that when left to our own devices, we were given to crime, sloth, and vice, and that correcting this condition by direct alteration of #brain states in large masses of people and thus achieving a hyper-civilized society was the job of science.
In #2014, #DARPA began the BRAIN Initiative Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies to study every aspect of the human brain, including performing #BCI research.
neurolaunch.com/darpa-brain-in…
However, BCIs with this sort of fine-grained, two-way monitoring and control of neural activity could be used to alter mood and cognitive states, robbing people of agency.
Brain-computer interfaces have a dark underbelly. Their rapid development is being funded and backed by military think tanks and intelligence agencies, with the supposed goal of giving soldiers an edge in combat.
Soldiers with BCIs implanted in their brains could have their sensory perception and emotional regulation altered to view the enemy as monsters, just like that one Black Mirror episode. Or, they could have their emotions deadened completely to make them fine with killing. Any rebellious thoughts are simply deleted from their heads. Their fear, their hatred, abolished.
jetpress.org/v23/evans2.htm
The same technology could also be applied to the citizenry, without our knowledge or consent, neutralizing aggression and self-interested tendencies and rendering us docile and compliant .
Picture if they had the ability not only to make people comfortable with their own genocide, but actually have them walk into a disposal unit with a smile on their faces, all at the touch of a button.
If, as José Delgado said, humans have no right to our own private thoughts, then we have very, very little indeed. Even a prisoner held in the most abject conditions imaginable still has their #mind as their final refuge.
With compulsory BCIs, it is no longer a refuge. There is no refuge.
There is nothing...

Questions about Israel and the European Union’s Horizon Europe program
The European Union’s Horizon Europe program serves as a lifeline for Israeli academia, which remains complicit and silent about the ongoing genocide in #Gaza. Shouldn't Israeli participation in EU programs face greater scrutiny based on legal and ethical obligations?
Separating Israeli research from government policies is like claiming Israel's #Eurovision participation doesn't benefit the state. Israeli media acknowledges that losing Horizon Europe access could trigger isolation and academic decline similar to Russia's post-sanctions deterioration. These grants provide more than funding—they offer prestige, international collaborations, and access to cutting-edge infrastructure. The Council for Higher Education warns of "devastating" consequences including research deterioration and accelerated brain drain, while university leaders emphasize threats to Israel's academic status. Simultaneously, cuts to US government science funding create what Israeli sources call a "double-sided attack" on their research capabilities.
Concerns raised in the Q&A:
Even civilian research projects can free up Israeli government resources for military operations and settlement expansion, while continued EU cooperation legitimizes these policies and weakens international pressure for change. Further more, monitoring mechanisms cannot prevent misuse or ensure that research and technology aren't ultimately used for military purposes, creating moral inconsistency in condemning Israel's actions while providing funding that indirectly supports the state.
The ongoing genocide in Gaza, with its massive civilian casualties and humanitarian crisis, only intensifies these concerns and shows that maintaining the status quo in fact fails to hold Israel accountable, while sending the wrong message about the EU's commitment to human rights and international law. While a full revocation of the association agreement is considered highly improbable due to the need for unanimous consent, a suspension or exclusion from Horizon Europe specifically is a real possibility requiring a qualified majority vote, and the likelihood of this happening depends on the evolving political situation.

The infographic illustrates Israel's significant dependence on Horizon Europe funding across various academic disciplines.

יותר מ־20 אוניברסיטאות בעולם מחרימות את ישראל על רקע המלחמה המתמשכת בעזה, ומספר מקרי החרם האישי על אקדמאים גדל במהירות והגיע ל־700; היוזמה הנוכחית להשעות את ישראל מ"הורייזן", תוכנית מענקי המחקר והפיתוח היוקרתית של האיחוד האירופי, מציבה סכנה של ממש לא…שחר אילן (calcalist)
[Follow up] "Shin Bet and university, university and Shin Bet. What does that remind me of?" ...
Prof. Idan Landau discusses how Israeli academics' collaboration with the state compromises academic freedom and values by facilitating state surveillance and oppression, particularly of Palestinians. This collaboration also normalizes practices reminiscent of dictatorial regimes (e.g., the #Stasi) and makes universities such as Tel Aviv and Bar Ilan complicit in human rights abuses.
From Prof. Landau's 2021 post:
[...] Did you know that secret research is conducted in Israeli universities, under the auspices and for the benefit of the Shin Bet, the results of which are kept at the Shin Bet headquarters and are not open to public review? Again, more slowly: there are people who use the university's research resources for years, receive a doctorate from it with all the tangible and symbolic capital that goes with it, without leaving any documented trace behind, because all their work is absolutely secret? Read, for example, about the mysterious doctorate written by former Shin Bet member, Dr. Nachman Tal, at the University of Haifa, on "Changes in Security Policy towards the Arab Minority 1948-1967," in the Department of the History of the Jewish People at the University of Haifa. How much of the process was a standard academic process? Well: "The Shin Bet set several preconditions. The work will be defined as 'classified.' That is, it will not be published for public review... Towards the date of the examination of the work, the university submitted to the Shin Bet a list of candidates for the position of judges. The Shin Bet disqualified some of them, and others, who were found to have the appropriate security clearance, were approved."
Here are several examples of collaboration between Israeli academia and security services:
- Joint Programs and Investments:
The Shin Bet and Tel Aviv University collaborate to identify start-ups, with TAU Ventures investing $50,000 in each of the six selected start-ups for "acceleration" within a program called The #Xcelerator: Tel Aviv University helps the Shin Bet develop more sophisticated espionage and surveillance technologies"
- University-Security Career Fairs:
Universities allow Shin Bet representatives to attend career fairs as if they were recruitment companies: "All the universities open their gates to Shin Bet representatives who come to 'career meetings' as if they were placement companies in its service."
Transfer of Graduate Information:
Universities provide the Shin Bet with lists of graduates, including names, ID numbers, and contact information: "The universities transfer to the Shin Bet lists with the names of graduates, ID numbers and ways to contact them."
Prof. Landau in fact questions how this aligns with privacy laws, noting the Shin Bet interprets the law to allow them to "receive information for the purpose of fulfilling its role," which they extend to include recruitment: "The law exempts the Shin Bet... and allows the Shin Bet to 'receive information for the purpose of fulfilling its role,' and the Shin Bet interprets this also as information that will help them recruit manpower."
- Secret Research: see opening quote
- Monitoring of Arab Students:
University security departments monitor Arab activists, both on campus and on social networks, with the approval of the administration: "It is well known that in all the campuses the security departments conduct ongoing monitoring of Arab activists, on the ground and also on social networks, and things come to threats and harassment, all with the approval and with the blind eye of the administration."
- Tel Aviv University asking help from the faculty to identify students during the 2011 protests:
"Tel Aviv University then sent a letter to the lecturers in which it asked for their help in identifying and handing over students from their departments (what Stas!i), who participate in protest activities on campus; a video documenting a student demonstration was attached to the letter, in order to make it easier for the lecturers to do the work of informing."
Hebrew idanlandau.com/2021/12/23/%D7%…
Idan Landau was born in the US, immigrated to Israel in 1969, and served as an IDF officer (1985-1989). He earned degrees from Tel Aviv University and MIT, specializing in generative syntax. A professor of Linguistics at Tel Aviv University since 2023, he has been imprisoned multiple times for refusing to serve in the occupied territories, causing a media controversy in 2011 when his salary was docked for this reason.

[ The Daily Beast: Amy Coney Barrett Decision Gives Libs Win in Shock SCOTUS Ruling ]
thedailybeast.com/amy-coney-ba…
Jesus Christ it is not a win. Don't "journalists" know anything? This is the FARTHEST thing from a "win".
With Barrett's recusal and SCOTUS' dead-lock and punting the case back down all this means is that the 1st Amendment is still alive and well in the one, very tiny, Kentucky district.
This was not precedent setting.
This means that in every other part of the Country every other State is free to try this again. AND THEY WILL.
This is FAR from over.
It would be nice if journalists actually said that and reflected actual reality than LIE to their readers.

Honestly, it won't even let me change it to California time. After entering my password it denies my request.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Edit Neither my user or root password works for this
The clock may roll back to 1939.
But try changing it via tzsetup as root.
I don't really know why that is. If you want to bypass the issue and just solve it, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata on the command line.
(Edit: Mind that sudo on the command line generally doesn't show any stars or such things, you type in your password blind and hit enter.)

On this endless ocean, finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watchin' in slow motion as you turn around and say
"Take my breath away"
Take my breath away
Watchin', I keep waiting, still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watchin' in slow motion as you turn to me and say
"My love, take my breath away"
Through the hourglass, I saw you
In time, you slipped away
When the mirror crashed, I called you
And turned to hear you say
"If only for today, I am unafraid"
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Watchin' every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion, somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watchin' in slow motion as you turn my way and say
"Take my breath away"
My love, take my breath away
My love, take my breath away, my love
