[jgmac1106] ↩️ what time is that for me?
#
Loqi In [jgmac1106]'s timezone, -5 GMT, it is currently 8:17am on May 13
#
[jgmac1106] ↩️ you are utc correct?
#
[jgmac1106] ↩️ also try not to use threads as they do not work with irc and the logs as well
#
[jgmac1106] !calc 1:40 utc to edt
#
Loqi 9:40:00 am EDT | Wednesday, May 13, 2020
#
[jgmac1106] could loqi default to UTC over GMT?
#
sknebel [jgmac1106]: why does it matter if it calls it UTC or GMT?
#
jeremycherfas GMT has colonialist overtones?
#
[jgmac1106] for many people in the world centering the planet on Greenwich is a wonderful reminder of pains of colonialism, though I did visit the time museum there..one of my favorite museums of all time
jacky and [tw2113] joined the channel
#
[tw2113] all time UTC or all time GMT? 😄
#
[tw2113] sorry, couldn’t resist
[Ramiro_Ruiz] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] I just know any event I do with organizers who self identify as being part of the global south they stress using utc on all communications, just a thought as I never know what time it is regardless of zone or name
#
[tw2113] i’ve heard the same generally, provided the UTC and perhaps links to sites that can help convert that to local time
#
[tw2113] http://www.timebie.com/std/utc.php could be a good example
#
aaronpk what is https?
#
Loqi HTTPS is an abbreviation for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, a form of HTTP where the communication is encrypted https://indieweb.org/HTTPS
#
aaronpk HTTPS << https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/web/HTTPSNoOldServers
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/web/HTTPSNoOldServers" to the "See Also" section of /HTTPS https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=69895&oldid=64877

#
[KevinMarks] GMT is the ultimate in 'works on my machine' - Flamsteed putting the origin of both space and time co-ordinates so it went through his telescope
#
[KevinMarks] they have since moved the meridian a bit
#
[KevinMarks] hah 'The meridian was moved around 10 metres or so east on three occasions as transit circles with newer and better instruments were built, on each occasion next door to the existing one.'
