Do you guys plan releasing some guide how to live with GDPR when hosting an XMPP server? I don't host one but if I did, I'd be confused, especially after hearing all these "GDPR harms XMPP hosts and centralizes the web" opinions.

marmistrz, these are dumb, don’t listen to them.

Also see https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/GDPR

So basically this wiki page will be eventually transformed into "all you should know about GDPR"

?

Probably.

You can also come to the GDPR meetings, in this room, at 11:00Z every Friday.

hmm not every friday no

next is Tue 10:30 CEST, let me see if the page is updated

Oh.

But anyway it's never the same

Ack.

What was that Z in 11:00Z?

Zulu

means UTC

Aka the zero timezone

While GMT+1 is #1 ! :P

Not 10:30 CEST, 1030Z, I failed

12:30 CEST.

Zash, please never use GMT as a base timezone. :(

It doesn’t exist all year long.

Let's revive .Beat

I've always thought UTC=GMT

marmistrz, it is, during winter.

TAI tho

Link Mauve, hmm, you sure?

But one is a base timezone, the other one is UK and Portugal’s timezone during winter (and maybe a few other ones). ✏

pep., yes.

UTC base, GMT UK+Port, right?

GMT is GMT, during summer UK is BST not GMT

pep., that’s what I said.

marmistrz, correct.

But it doesn't change

does it

pep., no, it stops existing.

Right, nobody uses it

But it still equals UTC

Only during winter.

It doesn't "stop existing"

It stops being used, so you can’t use it as a base anymore.

Tl;dr: always use UTC as a reference point.

That's not what I'm picking on

GMT still equals UTC

TIL, GMT equals to UT1, not UTC.

interesting

Time is very complicated topic
