Serious question: why is it that so many people apparently have real problems adopting ISO 8601 dates and UTC, in a professional context?

As in, are those somehow fundamentally incompatible with human nature? Or do people just completely lack the cultural awareness to understand that some of their colleagues are used to a different date format than they are, or live in a different timezone, or don't use daylight saving time?

@mattcen @xahteiwi UTC I don't always fault people for honestly. If you live in a place with daylight savings your offset changes twice a year. And if everyone involved is located in the same TZ โ€“ or at least one that changes at the same time โ€“ it's easier to not have to remember if it's +1 or +2 this time of year. Another reason to get rid of DST.

so this is a bit wild

i've got an oldie iPad 2 running iOS 9.3.5. this has some expired root certificates which results in several apps not working properly. Plex will load, but it won't be able to negotiate with your plex server, for instance.

since apple doesn't offer new iOS updates for it (with refreshed certificates).. it seemed like i was kinda stuck.

as it turns out, and is documented nowhere aside from a post on reddit, you can manually download your own root certificate - and iOS lets you install it without complaint.

if you're on an ancient iOS device, just point its Safari browser to this url: https://letsencrypt.org/certs/isrgrootx1.der

tap Install when prompted - and you've got working certificates again!

this just breathed new life into a 10+ year old iPad, which will become a bedtime plex viewer.

@vga256 It is documented, just in the old Apple documentation, not clearly enough, and it's way too hard to find. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1948/_index.html

If you scroll down a bit there's a section named "Installing a CA's Root Certificate on Your Test Device". I went through that last year when adding my own root cert to all my devices. IIRC only the Apple Configurator method worked then.

Yo , I want to give a technical presentation about databases to my coworkers. Is there a good tool that has built-in syntax highlighting, good rendering of tables? It might run on the web, but that's not a requirement. I will be presenting using Windows but a generator can run on Linux.

+1 if it can use @catppuccin colors, but i can manually change themes if needed ๐Ÿ˜.

@martijn I used reveal.js (https://revealjs.com) for my last presentation, and it was great. It has many useful features for displaying code. Syntax highlighting obviously, but I also made good use of transitioning code between slides rather than just replacing it (https://revealjs.com/auto-animate/#example%3A-animating-between-code-blocks).

If you don't want to use HTML there's a WYSIWYG tool for it, but I know nothing about it other than that it's not free. https://slides.com

@martijn Ah sorry, I just noticed you already mentioned it in your other reply.
