At the time of this post, it's... 5:00 p.m. CEST. If your clock still says 4:00 p.m., you haven't yet set it forward for daylight saving time ⏰

But how is time actually made and what role does Einstein's theory of relativity play in it? This question is answered in this article on our online portal “Einstein Online”:

I've just checked and the trilithons and lintels at #Stonehenge have been successfully set to British Summer Time (UTC+1).

I really do wonder if this is a tradition we could now abandon. Such a time consuming exercise twice every year to change them 🫤

Perhaps we should abandon BST and just stick to GMT (UTC+0) and honor our four fathers and five mothers some other way? 🤔🤷‍♂️

Yo también era "team horario de verano" hasta hace no mucho. Pero me he dado cuenta de varias cosas:

• «Nuestra relación con la luz del sol depende del uso horario y no del huso horario». Esto se lo leí a un divulgador hace un tiempo. En resumen: No importa lo que marque el reloj, lo que importa es lo que hacemos en esa hora; solo hay que ver cómo, con el mismo horario que Francia, Alemania o Países Bajos, no usamos nuestro tiempo de la misma manera que estos países.

• Empiezo a valorar mucho más tener más luz solar por las mañanas que por las tardes. "¿Qué más te da tener luz para trabajar, mejor tenerla para el ocio, cuando salgas del trabajo?" es un buen argumento a favor del horario de verano. Sin embargo, yo necesito luz solar para despertarme mejor, no dejamos de ser animales diurnos, por mucho que intentemos negarlo. Salir de casa de noche para ir a trabajar es muy triste.

• Si finalmente se siguiera haciendo el cambio de hora, votaría por volver a lo que se hacía antes de 1996. He leído que en España, hasta ese año, el horario de invierno entraba en vigor a partir del último fin de semana de septiembre, no de octubre, como se hace ahora. Ese cambio actualmente llega tarde porque, siendo en España de 7:00 a 8:30 las horas habituales de entrar al trabajo, la ventaja que sacamos dura tres semanas, tras las cuales volvemos a entrar al trabajo de noche. Un sinsentido.

• Conclusión: Que se terminen los cambios de hora, nos quedamos con el de "invierno" para todo el año y cambiamos nuestros "usos" horarios si hace falta para ajustarnos al cambio. Ejemplo: Entrar antes al trabajo, comer antes, cenar antes...

Gracias por asistir a mi charla TED (vaya rollo acabo de soltar).

Anyone know how to make #Git use #UTC date-time in a commit, ignoring local time zone forever?

I am hoping for some configuration knob to set the time zone instead of providing a value to "--date" option as shown in "Git: Commit with a UTC Timestamp and Ignore Local Timezone", by Saeb A, saebamini.com/Git-commit-with- .

Affecting "commit date" is not enough as "author date" would not be affected: stackoverflow.com/questions/23
...

saebamini.comGit: Commit with a UTC Timestamp and Ignore Local TimezoneWhen you git commit, Git automatically uses your system’s local timezone by default, so for example if you’re collaborating on a project from Brisbane (UTC +10) and do a commit, your commit will look like this:

Krononaut Moon 🌕 2025 Mar 14

Monday is January's #FullMoon — the #WolfMoon.

It's now exactly 2 #lunar cycles to the #TotalLunarEclipse on 2025 Mar 14, the Night of the #KrononautMoon, and our invitation to #TimeTravelers to come visit or send us a #quantum #signal. (To be followed by 2 more Total Lunar Eclipses in the next year!)

Here's our extended version #Checklist for the Night of the Krononaut Moon, a celebration of Time Travel. (Original post located here: me.dm/@KronoMoon/1136102025338).

☑️ Coming our way next on 2025 Mar 14 #UTC 07:00, 2 months from now.

☑️ #Observe the #Moon & #stars that night, wherever & however you like, with friends & colleagues or on your own. Local #times flexible.

☑️ #Connect with the #cosmos & with your #past & #future #selves. Send a #signal to #beings in the #future(s). #Candles & safe #campfires are good; #music & #dancing are good; #radio #wave #antennas are good. Be experimental!

☑️ Click & share many #photos of the #Moon, with you (and your #family / #pets) under it — what we call a #Moonsie — and any nearby #UFOs. Share your #images with @KronoMoon & @KronoMoonPhotos.

☑️ #Enjoy a deepened #moment of #peace, #love, #authenticity & #meaning, with other #Mastodonians around the #world & #beyond — wherever you are.

WikiCommons animated image of a Total Lunar Eclipse that took place on 2014 Apr 15. We wonder how many #UFOs / #UAP were spotted that night? The Full Moon floats in from upper right, then goes through lighting changes in deep red tints, and emerges at lower left with its original coloration. According to the graphic, the process took a couple hours. Image dated 2014 Mar 31.

“Initially, though, Bailey believed he had won the car with a bid of $464,900. With no further bids received within a 10-minute period, the online auction system automatically generated an email declaring “YOU HAVE WON!”

Unfortunately for Bailey, that was simply because a server linked to the auction had been set to #UTC (co-ordinated universal) time rather than #AEDT (Australian eastern daylight time), with the result that some bids were recorded as having been made 11 hours earlier than they actually were. Once the glitch was discovered, a second auction was run, with Portelli winning the vehicle.” Bailey’s company took the matter to court in 2023, but lost – thanks to a clause in Grays’ user agreement covering “#TechnologicalDifficulties”, which allowed the company to declare a result void and run the auction again.”

I read this article because exotic car trading and large profits invites corruption. I didn’t expect this kind of technical failure 🤣☺️

A partir de hoy, nuestro servidor NTP Stratum 2 ha sido actualizado a Stratum 1 mediante la incorporación de una fuente primaria GPS con una antena GNSS de 42dBi para la red satelital GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/Beidou logrando una precisión de sincronización de ~100ns. Esto quiere decir que ahora nuestro servidor toma el Tiempo Universal Coordinado UTC directamente de la red satelital, y lo publica hacia internet.

Aus.SocialKronoMoon 🌕 🌑 2025 Mar 14 (@KronoMoon_TotalLunarEclipse@aus.social)Attached: 1 image   Time Travel: obscure & cryptic little ad in Artforum Magazine is more relevant today than when it was printed 45 years ago. #Scientific #research, #spiritual #quest, or #conceptual #art, it's an invitation to make contact with Time Travelers — or Visitors from the Future(s) — at what some would call a landing party. Today, the ongoing work of The Krononaut Moon Project continues at full steam on #Mastodon & #Fediverse. 🌠 🐘 🛸 The historic ad appeared in the 1980 January issue, announcing a gathering to occur two years later on 1982 Mar 09, inviting #Krononauts or #TimeTravelers to beam down to #Baltimore #MD #US. The hundreds of attendees at the night's festivities were documented by a #NYTimes newspaper reporter. Later, others would organize their own inter-dimensional meet-ups in #Perth #AU, #MIT #US, and #Cambridge #UK. (All were receptions of a type-1.0. See links below & on our other @KronoMoon@me.dm pages for more details.) The 1980 Artforum ad can be found in #library collections and on the "Time Travel" page of #Wikipedia. 🔗 https://Wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_travel#Absence_of_time_travelers_from_the_future 🔗 https://Wikipedia.org/wiki/File:WelcomeKrononauts_Artforum_Jan1980_p.90_800x600.png Baltimore's event was timed for a full #Moon & a rare #planetary alignment in 1982, known to #astronomers as a #syzygy. It was the prototype for today's more evolved type-2.0 "experimentations, observations & celebrations" taking place under the shadow of the #TotalLunarEclipse — the night of the #KrononautMoon. There will be 3 #TLEclipses in 2025 & 2026, with the next one coming up on 2025 Mar 14 #UTC 07:00, barely months away. ❛❛ On the Night of the Total Lunar Eclipse, Time Travelers descend in their space-time ships. ❜❜ All beings are welcome to join us in connecting with the #cosmos, the #multiverse, and your #past & #future #selves. Even folks who gripe that this is utterly preposterous are invited (contrary to the #thinking of a few enlightened #quantum #physicists). Or, you could choose to spend a peaceful night by yourself under the #stars, on a #sacred #mountaintop, at the #beach, or in your own #backyard. The more diverse are these experimental designs, the greater the likelihood of meaningful contact. Or, you could bring along your friends & colleagues, your grandparents & grandkids, your #CatsOfMastodon & #DogsOfMastodon (and don't forget a #camera for lots of @KronoMoonPhotos@universeodon.com). Watch the skies for #UFOs, #UAP, or a #signal from the #beyond. Who knows who might be showing up? The #fullMoon will be shining bright on that night, before it goes dark, and then shines bright again, all in an hour or so. Participants will be contributing to the greater body of Community Time Travel Research. Please make plans to come out on 2025 March 14, wherever you are. 🌕 🌑 🌕 Krononauts in the #NYTimes 🔗 https://NYTimes.com/1982/03/11/us/the-night-the-planets-were-aligned-with-baltimore-lunacy.html Krononauts podcast on Pushkin.fm & TheLastArchive.com 🔗 https://Pushkin.fm/podcasts/the-last-archive/the-krononauts Krononauts on Medium.com & Write Under the Moon 🔗 https://Medium.com/write-under-the-moon/on-the-night-of-the-total-lunar-eclipse-6eec94750f4e 🔗 https://KronoMoon.org #Time #Timelessness #TimeTravel #Kronodon
