Yes, this seems to be the correct one. 👍

My smell-name would probably be something like sweaty ass with a hint of Nivea.

No? UTC by definition doesn’t know time zones.
Let’s say the European goes to work at 8 o’clock UTC. The American in this example goes to work 6 hours later at 14 o’clock UTC. Both now exactly when the other one is in office. Time zones aren’t needed here.
Time zones are an invention to keep the zero hour (for hour counting) at about the same local time - midnight. Midnight was easier to determine that UTC (or GMT). A peasant could do it in a day without the help of expensive tools everywhere on Earth. As a matter of fact almost each city in medieval times had its own local time. To get that sorted out they where clustered into time zones.
Time to nerd this shit! 🥸
There were several counting systems:
- In Old Egypt and in the medieval times they counted 12 day hours from sunrise to sundown and another 12 night hours from sundown to sunrise. A lot of systems do/did that because one tracked the sun and the other tracked the moon and the stars. It’s more like as 12 + 12 hours system instead of a 24 hours system.
- In the Babylonian system the day had 24 hours, beginning at sunrise. The name has nothing to do with the ancient Babylonians though. 🤷♂️
- The Italian system was the same as the Babylonian system but began counting at sundown. This is also the case in the Hebrew and Islamic calendar. Btw that’s the reason why Christmas night starts at the 24th of December in some countries (like Germany) and the 25th of December in other countries (like USA). The former converted from the old date/time system to the modern done while the later just went ‘Nah! We’ll do what the Bible says.’
- The ancient Babylonians had danna, double hours. Hence a day had 6 day and 6 night dannas.
- Then there are still used 12 hour clock dividing the day in ante meridiem (before midday) and post meridiem (after midday). It is mainly used in Britain and countries that were ruled by the British Empire.
- There’s the current 24 hour clock starting and ending at midnight.
- There is the Julian Day where the counting -again- starts at sunrise. It is still used(!) in astronomy.
- There is Rammesses II’s hour calendar where the number of day and night hours changed depending on the month. June-July had 18 day and 6 night hours. December-January had 6 day and 18 night hours. Why does a country near the equator need 18 day or night hours? It’s not that the day and night length change that much during the seasons. 🤷♂️
- The Chinese calendar changed several times. Each day started and ended at midnight (like today) and initially was divided in 100 ke (1 ke = 14.4 minutes). Later that number changed to 120 (12 * 10), 108 (because 12 * 9) and 96 (12 * 8). When they also introduced double hours, ke became 15 minutes long. The double hours started counting at 23:00.
- And many more.
Also it isn’t a bad idea to work less hours in winter so you can experience the sun at all.
In the times before the light bulb work could only be done during the day. Candles made from beewax were too expensive for the peasants. If they used candles instead of kindling they were made from tallow and created a lot of smut and didn’t gave much light. That made them a bit unpopular. I wonder why? 👤
At least in my country work days were divided in morning, midday, afternoon and night. You worked your field during the morning, went to market at midday, did handyman work and chores during afternoon and slept during night time.

Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What, if any, cybernetic augmentation would you want for regular life?5·1 month agoI want an implant that can regulate body functions and even rejuvenate & regenerate me.
What would that mean?
- Forever young
- Adonis/Venus body
- Some sort of self-healing capability
- Some sort of body-shaping capability
- Possibly immortal
That’s an interesting take! Maybe I should do that too, when I restart learning Italian again.
Une, due, tre. Short and simple enough for me!
Or I go the masochist route and name them il ragazzo, la ragazza, i ragazzi and le ragazze. :D
I didn’t meant the newlines. ^^
Is that a new kind of masochism?
What? Automated food supply?
BUY! BUY! BUY!
Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Ancient problems require modern solutions0·2 months agoI like the tape. Won’t hold but also won’t fall apart especially if you want to remove it. The right kind of mixture to make yourself hate yourself. :D
Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are we modern humans, across the board, enormous wussies compared to people, say, 150+ years ago?1·2 months agoThe people back then lived to 60-70 years. The average life expectancy was 30-40 years because of the extremely high child mortality. Almost like half the children died before they became 10 years old. Most of them died within their first year when the body and immune system are still very weak.

Are there any services left that feature a security question? I thought that all died out years ago when 2FA was introduced.
The breeder of my dog gave him the name Timber vom Uckersee (Timber of Ucker lake). Yes, he was considered a noble because the breeder made sure to keep the blood line clean and that the dog showed all the features that defines this particular breed.
The Ucker lake is a lake nearby. The dog was part of the 20th litter of the breeder that’s why all the offspring got names starting with a t, the 20th letter of the alphabet.We usually called our dog just Timmi (or Timmy for English speakers). He was a cocker spaniel with red fur and lived to an age of 14.5 years. A good age for that breed (13-15 years life expectancy). Unfortunately we had to put him down. He had a disease that reduced the blood’s ability to transport oxygen. By the time we discovered it all his inner organs were too damaged for him to continue living without serious disabilities.
He looked similar to this one (tap to see).
Now that I remember him I feel sad that I lost him.
Usually config directories and file are found in /etc. I guess there’s a /etc/imapsync/imapsync.conf
If there isn’t then the conf-file(s) should be somewhere in the /home directory.
Try the man page if one exists. That one should explain everything: man imapsync
