@phs You don't happen to also use journald, do you? Because if so, it should be as simple as sudo TZ=Australia/Melbourne journalctl . Otherwise, yes, I'd write a short helper script in Python or similar.

@phs I know @cafuego gave a gawk solution, but if you'd like a python one too:

#!/usr/bin/env python  
import datetime, zoneinfo, os, sys  
for line in sys.stdin:  
 line=line.strip().split(' ')  
 print(datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(line[0]).astimezone(tz=zoneinfo.ZoneInfo(os.environ.get("TZ"))), ' '.join(line[1:]))  

(Requires Python 3.9 minimum for zoneinfo module)

@cafuego @phs I considered that Perl would probably be shorter as a one-liner, but my Perl-fu is far too weak.

@cafuego @phs It would be trivial to do in bash using date(1) , but all those execs would be painfully slow.

@phs @cafuego Here you go, python 3.8 compatible:

#!/usr/bin/env python  
import datetime, os, sys  
for line in sys.stdin:  
 line=line.strip().split(' ')  
 print(datetime.datetime.fromisoformat('.'.join(line[0:2])).astimezone(), ' '.join(line[2:]))

@phs @cafuego Oh yeah, [0] would be sufficient; I had changed it because the ISO format I was using separated the space with a space rather than T.

@phs @cafuego Here ya go:

#!/usr/bin/env python  
import datetime, os, sys  
for line in sys.stdin:  
 line=line.strip().split(' ')  
 print(datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(line[0]).astimezone(), ' '.join(line[1:]))

@nnye @michael Have you looked into Morgen yet (https://www.fastmail.com/blog/smart-scheduling-for-your-fastmail-calendar/)? I haven't tried it, but it sounded like it might do stuff like this.
I also have been considering writing a tool to aggregate all my calendars into one, but… that sounds a lot like work. 😆

@NanoRaptor TFW I realise I'm not following you and have just been seeing your content prolifically boosted by friends! 😂

@trenchworms It was actually pretty balanced I think! And yeah, it's a lot like that. As a bi masc-presenting person it just frustrates me to no end that a m/f couple is often looking to explore bisexuality with a third, but that 98% of time they're looking for a femme person (but often don't make that explicit)! I want to play with different-gender couples too, folx! 😡

@xahteiwi I'm certainly finding the ones I bought a few years ago are losing spring integrity and as such keep falling apart; dunno if I just bought a batch with cheap springs. I do prefer them to their plastic counterparts though.

@Unixbigot I also wonder if clipboard sharing works to the Watch in the same way as it does on other Apple devices?

@Unixbigot Signs point to "no" https://support.apple.com/en-au/108046

@xahteiwi I've always assumed, rather uncharitably that people don't bother to learn ISO8601 (or RFC3339) and UTC due to one or more of ignorance, entitlement, or laziness. Either they don't realise how not doing this could impact others, they don't care, or can't be bothered enough to do anything about it.
I see this in the same way as I see other accessibility and inclusion accommodations.

@geordie So I dunno exactly what you're trying to do but I set up this shortcode (https://bugdrivendevelopment.net/pdf-reader-hugo-sites/) a while back and it does exactly what I want, which is to embed a PDF (in this case, one I've stored in my static files) in a web page. Does that help?

@phocks @jb What does "ready for mainstream use" mean to you? Would you use it as your daily Fedi account, or do you think it has insufficient features for regular use currently? (I've not tried it, but have often considered self-hosting a Fedi service and would like something lightweight, so I'd be thinking about GoToSocial or Takahē)

@ash Hehe. Shelve.

@ifixcoinops @girlonthenet Hear, hear! 😅

And the PDF doc also has a crappy bitmap logo on it that was designed in the mid-90s, despite me having regenerated a new vector version a couple of years ago. There's just no helping some people.

@cadey That was a very entertaining lightning talk; thank you! 😆
