schestowitzMy thoughts on this:Oct 29 00:28
schestowitz1) with UTC we would have fewer issues, esp. in the face of DSTOct 29 00:28
schestowitz2) the same hour 'happened' twice, so we cannot expect that to be handled too gracefullyOct 29 00:28
schestowitz3) in past year the log files were flooded with error when attempts were made to override data of 'past' timesOct 29 00:28
schestowitz4) things do get 'resolved' after an hourOct 29 00:28
schestowitz5) how time changes are handled depends on the OS, either Windows (app1) or GNU/Linux (the rest)Oct 29 00:28
schestowitz6) to better handle this in the future we might want to alert clients and ensure log files can cope or to change the way things workOct 29 00:28

-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: Longtime #microsoft propagandist Bogdan Popa now says "Microsoft Conquers Android" Like #microsoftPeter he's just lying and spreading propaganda.
