I can see that these people would not their main household computer locked to UTC say, so the suggestion to run Cumulus on a rPi that you can dedicate to your weather data, leave running 24x7 cheaply, and configure it for a fixed TZ with no DST changes.
Ray, I meant everyone that uses UTC (or a fixed TZ) all year round because they want to avoid the clock change issues.RayProudfoot wrote: ↑Thu 31 Mar 2022 11:28 pmI was just responding to Mark’s comment that everyone runs their computer on GMT.sfws wrote: ↑Thu 31 Mar 2022 10:26 pm Ray,
I think you are missing the point of the topic, so not understanding Mark's reply.
This topic is about running Cumulus software in a way that avoids the missing hour at winter to summer changeover and eliminates the duplicated hour at summer to winter switchover.
Sure Raspberry Pi computers can operate with winter and summer time, just like your pc and the clocks in your house. But Mark is stressing how cheap they are to run compared to your XP pc, and how popular it is to use them without using the daylight saving option.
