Most frustrating time zone fail of the day goes to Home Assistant, which even after updating and so having to deal with a bunch of new breakages to my configurations and integrations (as usual) that have nothing to do with time zones, I still had to put into regina time to fix the time zone and even then it's not really taking everywhere as far as I can tell.

@ipsquiggle I mean I think there's a golden path for ha that's a lot more convenient than the one I'm on. I have things like a thermostat I hijack its proxy settings for local control and a bunch of custom low level integrations.
It definitely can be easier.

@ipsquiggle that said I dunno where you're at on the "letting slop into my life" decisions but both seem to make extensive use of agents for coding these days. But then so do all the alternatives...
Darcy R 🇨🇦geodarcy@yeg.bikeNov 1, 2026, 8:32 PM@megmac I had Home Assistant displaying different times when viewing the dashboard from different OSes. Mac and RPi were correct, Mint fell back. All their system times were okay so I don’t know what happened.
Andreacouturier@securitycafe.caNov 2, 2026, 3:26 PM@megmac my fix for this so far has been to set the time zone on devices that are not updated yet to Dawson Creek, they are on the right time, and have not changed for decades
