#225097 — On line meet up Thursday 17:30

Good evening All


I couldn't help notice how many of you suggested a Raspberry Pi as a 
better alternative to trying to use an old PC, in answer to a recent 
question.


I wondered if some of you would care to join a small user group in 
regional Australia, whose prime purpose is using single board computers. 
Most use Pi's.

We have been meeting on line since April at

https://meet.jit.si/SBCCandSBCGeelongForums

generally for about 2 hours.

Very informal.





To get the timing right as close as possible, it is 17:40  as I send 
this note.

For the future you might want to specify the UTC time instead.

Kind regards,
Andrei

You have a gmail address: in this case 'the system' is most probably
'The Google'. They know all about you ;-D

IOW: what name did you use whin registering your gmail account?

Your name appeared to change about the time you quit "zoho",
but anyway between 10 and 17 May. Perhaps TB changed 76→77
at the same time as well.

An exception (for your name) is the OP with the meeting time.

Probably right, but I wasn't sure if UTC adjusted to daylight saving 
time, and got a couple of conflicting versions when I searched.


So, UTC 7:30 it is.

It doesn't.  If your local time zone does DST, you will notice that
your offset from UTC changes when your clock changes.

For me (America/New_York aka US/Eastern aka EST5EDT), the current offset
from UTC is 4 hours.

unicorn:~$ date; date -u
Thu Jul 23 07:37:55 EDT 2020
Thu Jul 23 11:37:55 UTC 2020

When my clock goes back to normal in the late fall, it will be 5 hours.

Regardless of what the Internet tells you about UTC, though, you don't
have to *know* how it actually works.  You just have to know enough
to run "date -u" to get your current offset, and then apply that
offset to your appointment time.  Assuming of course that your
appointment time is on the same side of a DST break as you are now.

Hi Keith,

That is incomplete information, you need to specify the UTC date also.

For your timezone and that specific time, that UTC date happens to be
the same as your local timezone date, so perhaps you omitted it because
it seemed unnecessary.

However, that won't always be true for different times in your
timezone, or for other people in different timezones.

Better to advise the output of the date command, something like this:

$ date --utc --date='TZ="Australia/Melbourne" 23 Jul 2020 17:30'
Thu 23 Jul 07:30:00 UTC 2020

or this:

$ date --utc --date='23 Jul 2020 17:30 +1000'
Thu 23 Jul 07:30:00 UTC 2020

While we are here let's also say this in more international date and
time format ISO 8601:

    $ date --rfc-3339=seconds --utc --date="2020-07-23 17:30 +10:00"
    2020-07-23 07:30:00+00:00
