Wow, apparently Signal is going to stop supporting SMS soon. That really sucks. That was one of the killer features of Signal.
For Python users (particularly on Windows), the tzdata package is now up-to-date with version 2022.6 (2022f upstream): https://pypi.org/project/tzdata/
Considering that some of the changes go into effect /tomorrow/, it seems obvious that for a while people will be very confused about what time it is in Chihuahua (see also this article: https://codeofmatt.com/time-zone-chaos-inevitable-in-egypt/
Time for everyone to upgrade their tzdata to the latest version, particularly if your software needs to work properly in Mexico (which enacted permanent DST on short notice).
Someone should translate Matt Johnson-Pint's article into Spanish: https://codeofmatt.com/on-the-timing-of-time-zone-changes/

Re-publicizing this post because friends are giving talks soon that I want to read!
Some highlights:
- Logs from spam logins filled up disk space
- Need to restart nginx after updating cert
- Systemd timer only triggering once: https://serverfault.com/q/1079993
- Timer accidentally activating the wrong trigger.
And while I would prefer permanent STD to permanent DST, for the latitude I'm at, I'm actually in favor of the status quo. I like a rule that's fairly simple to implement and keeps sunrise closer to the same time each day.
Though I've really been meaning to write an article about exactly why I think permanent DST is a bad idea.
I still need to get this plot looking nicer (it's a sun graph for New York, with DST):
Now that I've released this on a Friday afternoon, time to run off to go apartment hunting and make myself completely unavailable for a few days! Byyyyyeeeeeee!
Hot off the presses, we've just released the latest version of tzdata, bringing us in line with the upstream 2022b data: https://pypi.org/project/tzdata/
See release notes here: https://github.com/python/tzdata/releases/tag/2022.2

Hi everyone 👋
I'm a devops/sysadmin guy from Sweden.
My main interests are tinkering with software and/or electronics. Everything from small arduino projects to setting up full blown kubernetes clusters, which I also happen to do for a living.
At the moment I'm also trying to take more control over my data, so selfhosting stuff and trying out community driven services. Hence my presence here 🙂
Programmer working at Google. Python core developer and general FOSS contributor. I also post some parenting content.
