• Zulu Time :-(

    From The Real Bev@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 21 09:27:39 2023
    The Pixel2 native camera app insists in saving photos as PXL_20231018_184736767.jpg with GMT time attached rather than local
    time. I change this with jhead (20231018-114736.jpg), but sometimes I
    want to send the exact untouched-in-any-way photo. Although the camera
    itself is set to local (internet) time, I can find no setting in the
    camera app to change. Anybody know what I'm missing?

    Zulu is GMT -1. Absolutely universal and is therefore called UTC
    (Universal Time Coordinated). No confusion and no misunderstandings
    possible.

    No idea how you could change it permanently. Is it possible btw?

    Zulu is GMT

    Definitely wrong.

    During DST GMT is Zulu +1
    GMT is Zulu during winter.

    Exactly the reason why UTC was invented in 1972 and strictly speaking
    GMT does not exist anymore:

    Coordinated Universal Time or UTC is the primary time standard by which
    the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about one second of
    mean solar time (such as UT1) at 0° longitude (at the IERS Reference
    Meridian as the currently used prime meridian) and is not adjusted for
    daylight saving time. It is effectively a *successor to Greenwich Mean
    Time* (GMT).

    The coordination of time and frequency transmissions around the world
    began on 1 January 1960. UTC was first officially adopted as CCIR Recommendation 374, Standard-Frequency and Time-Signal Emissions, in
    1963, but the official abbreviation of UTC and the official English name
    of Coordinated Universal Time (along with the French equivalent) were
    not adopted until 1967.[1]

    The system has been adjusted several times, including a brief period
    during which the time-coordination radio signals broadcast both UTC and "Stepped Atomic Time (SAT)" before a new UTC was adopted in 1970 and implemented in 1972.

    Are you sure? What I just read indicates Zulu = UTC = GMT.

    Sorry, you've got it wrong. The UK operates on what used to be called
    GMT during winter; in summer we operate on BST (British Summer Time).

    GMT, when it was used, never varied by an hour. The old equation
    was BST = GMT + 1.

    GMT, UTC and Zulu are equivalent and always the same. GMT does not move between summer and winter.

    In the UK (where I have always lived), we set our clocks to GMT in the winter, and in March we move them forward an hour to GMT+1, which we call BST, for British Standard Time. We move the clocks back to GMT in October.

    When I used to do amateur radio, we were required to keep our logs in GMT all year round. During the periods of BST, it was necessary to subtract an hour from clock time when filling in the log.

    Still, UTC ≠ GMT

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time

    Coordinated Universal Time or UTC is the primary time standard by which
    the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about one second of
    mean solar time (such as UT1) at 0° longitude (at the IERS Reference
    Meridian as the currently used prime meridian) and is not adjusted for
    daylight saving time. It is effectively a successor to Greenwich Mean
    Time (GMT).
    ...
    The current version of UTC is defined by International Telecommunication
    Union Recommendation (ITU-R TF.460-6), Standard-frequency and
    time-signal emissions,[4] and is based on International Atomic Time
    (TAI) with leap seconds added at irregular intervals to compensate for
    the accumulated difference between TAI and time measured by Earth's rotation.[5] Leap seconds are inserted as necessary to keep UTC within
    0.9 seconds of the UT1 variant of universal time.[6] See the "Current
    number of leap seconds" section for the number of leap seconds inserted
    to date.


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_Mean_Time

    Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the mean solar time at the Royal
    Observatory in Greenwich, London, counted from midnight. At different
    times in the past, it has been calculated in different ways, including
    being calculated from noon;[1] as a consequence, it cannot be used to
    specify a particular time unless a context is given. The term 'GMT' is
    also used as one of the names for the time zone UTC+00:00 and,[2] in UK
    law, is the basis for civil time in the United Kingdom.[3][a]

    Sorry, my mistake. BST stands for British Summer Time.

    It did stand for British Standard Time from 1968 to 1971, when they experimented with remaining on BST = GMT+1 for the whole year instead of reverting to GMT for the winter.

    Zulu is GMT

    For people who do not understand the concept:

    Zulu is UTC but not GMT.

    Perhaps DST makes the difference. Here in The Colonies we'll be falling
    back an hour in the near future.

    I need to remember to look after the change and see if there's a difference.

    All of this about the Brit/World time system is interesting, of course,

    I never noticed before. Next time I take a shot with my Motorola I'll
    see what it does. I'd do it now, but it needs a charge.

    jhead looks at the exifinfo and changes stuff depending on what you tell
    it to do. I tell it to change the filename to yyyymmdd-hhmmss.jpg. I
    hate underlines and I don't need fractional seconds. I generally order
    things by newest date/time,

    alias dird='ls -altGF --color=yes |more'

    and jhead works perfectly.

    Definitely wrong.

    During DST GMT is Zulu +1
    GMT is Zulu during winter.

    GMT doesn't change in the summer. In the summer clocks in the UK change to BST which is GMT+1.

    GMT does not exist anymore. Key word *UTC*

    Sorry, you've got it wrong. The UK operates on what used to be called
    GMT during winter; in summer we operate on BST (British Summer Time).

    Which would be GMT+1 if it would still exist.

    Exactly the reason why UTC was invented in 1972 and strictly speaking

    Sorry, but that is completely wrong.

    GMT, UTC and Zulu are equivalent and always the same. GMT does not move between
    summer and winter.

    In the UK (where I have always lived), we set our clocks to GMT in the winter,
    and in March we move them forward an hour to GMT+1, which we call BST, for >> British Standard Time. We move the clocks back to GMT in October.

    When I used to do amateur radio, we were required to keep our logs in GMT all
    year round. During the periods of BST, it was necessary to subtract an hour >> from clock time when filling in the log.

    Still, UTC ≠ GMT

    OK, so they are slightly differently defined, but in everyday practical usage, they are the same.

    No. GMT does not exist anymore in the professional world of aerospace or maritime professions since 1972.

    An advantage of GMT/UT in the filename is that pictures sort into the
    order they are taken. If you take a picture, drive or fly west into
    another time zone, and take another, the second might be timed before the first.

    It's been superseded by UTC, yes, but many still use GMT to mean UTC. Especially in the UK. They are synonymous.

    However, it doesn't change the fact that your assertion that GMT changes
    with the clocks in the summer is categorically wrong.

    A desire to move away from a geographic name. Greenwich makes no sense to

    For most purposes GMT/UTC can be used interchangeably.

    I'd love to know why you think it is "very much" different. In your words,

    No. GMT does not exist anymore in the professional world of aerospace
    or maritime professions since 1972.


    I haven't listened to the BBC's Shipping Forecast (weather forecast for
    much the north eastern Atlantic and UK waters) for a while, but a long
    time after 1972 they were still using GMT as the time zone for their
    forecasts.

    Definitely wrong.

    During DST GMT is Zulu +1
    GMT is Zulu during winter.

    GMT doesn't change in the summer. In the summer clocks in the UK
    change to
    BST which is GMT+1.

    GMT does not exist anymore. Key word *UTC*

    No, that is not correct.

    Adrian

    Not anymore. GMT is obsolete. Replaced by UTC. Below is part of an
    article from flightradar24.com https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/zulu-and-utc-the-story-behind-aviations-time-zone/

    UTC is essentially based upon the timing of solar noon at 0 degrees
    longitude (the so-called "prime meridian"), similar to GMT. However,
    in the case of UTC the time is fine-tuned based upon a much more
    accurate atomic clock. It’s not perfect, however. As the earth’s
    rotation slows ever so slightly, leap seconds need to be added here
    and there. That’s in order to keep the time within close range of
    what’s known as UT1- a variant of universal time based upon the true
    solar time. That solar time is constant, but the earth’s rotation is
    imperfect, hence the need for the leap seconds. If your curiosity is
    piqued, head here http://irtfweb.ifa.hawaii.edu/~tcs3/tcs3/Misc/slalib_html/node219.html
    for more specifics on all that.

    There are moves to head to an even better standard that would
    eliminate the need for adding leap seconds, but no decision has been
    reached on that as yet.

    Daylight in the evening is more valuable than daylight in the morning,
    but it's not all that important. I do hate switching back to DST toward
    the end of ski season -- there are certain places that I drive directly
    into the sun and can't look away, but eventually the sun is higher at
    that time and not bothersome -- until we spring forward :-(

    I checked the Motorola phone camera -- it uses local time in the
    filenames so it's not a DCIM attribute. DCIM just seems to be a file
    storage structure.

    During DST GMT is Zulu +1

    GMT, UTC and Zulu are equivalent and always the same. GMT does not move between
    summer and winter.

    In the UK (where I have always lived), we set our clocks to GMT in the winter,
    and in March we move them forward an hour to GMT+1, which we call BST, for British Standard Time. We move the clocks back to GMT in October.

    I have no idea how the rest of the nation handles it. But here all the nationwide cable channels that I watch move an hour back or forth
    (compared to my time) when the DST change occurs. But the local over the
    air (cable for me) channels stay the same. The local TV folks do the
    time shifting, likely to keep us customers happy...

    The acronym UTC was invented or designed so that it did not match
    correct spelling in any language, so that no country or language could
    claim it as theirs.

    UTC = Universal Time Coordinated.

    That's exactly what I meant by change for changes sake. The words are
    fine with the "U"s in and we've never had any difficulty spelling them,
    so any change is pointless and futile.

    Zulu is GMT -1. Absolutely universal and is therefore called UTC
    (Universal Time Coordinated). No confusion and no misunderstandings
    possible.

    Not just nice, Chris - RoSPA have good evidence to show that it saves
    lives on the roads and they have been campaigning for it for years. The
    extra evening hour that you mention would improve our lifestyle and our psychological wellbeing no end, and would actually increase business opportunities in the leisure industry and others. We would be more in
    line with Europe for business purposes.
    The arguments against it put forward by the Scots are totally fallacious
    - they would live and work at exactly the same time of day as now, but
    it would have a different numerical designation. They are forever
    banging on about being independent - well, let them be.

    Even if you define it as the instant the sun is that the exact south,
    there is a yearly variance to one side or the other; I think it is up to
    about 16 minutes. So the definition of UTC uses the word "average".

    Don't know why it changed, because you now posted with the same
    newsreader (and version). Perhaps you changed something in the
    configuration of your newsreader?

    But, no worries, there are other 'offenders'! :-)

    FYI, I only checked my 'posted' file, i.e. copies of my own postings,
    so I see only when someone used 'GMT' in the body of their article,
    mostly/only in the attribution line(s). I've not checked if anyone has
    'GMT' in their 'Date:' header.

    Useful information. jhead (windows, linux, probably apple but who
    cares) will allow various forms of editing, but I just use it to change
    the filename. I am ashamed to say I stop when I figure out how to do
    what I need to do rather than mastering a subject.

    What I want is the CAMERA to assign a filename that recognizes local
    time, not GMT/UTC/Zulu time. I do it afterward, but sometimes I want to
    leave the file absolutely untouched, and having only Brit time shown
    leaves the local time unknown. I suppose if somebody goes in and LOOKS
    at the exifdata they could determine the local time/location, but hardly anybody is going to do that. I just want to be able to show somebody
    that THIS is what THAT looked like at the actual local time I took the
    photo.

    Software for classification/organizing of photos (in Linux, think

    you that they work better if the photos use UTC time instead of local, specially if you travel.

    It is also a pain if you have several cameras and forget to adjust summer/winter time in one of them, then try to organize all those photos

    It may still exist as a definition but it has no meaning whatsoever in

    That is not correct. It has the same relevance as CEST time.

    It is correct: All official times are calibrated against UTC and done by
    the German Caesium Timekeeper in Braunschweig.

    I've read all the many responses in this thread and thought to do some investigation.

    After some sidetracks, I looked at *my* camera app (Samsung) and see
    that that camera app *does* create filenames in local time:

    20231023_172403.jpg (it was 17:24, local Dutch time)

    I.e. exactly like you want them, even with only full seconds.

    So perhaps it's worth you while to consider to look at other (real?
    :-)) camera apps.

    [Rewind/repeat:]

    I change this with jhead (20231018-114736.jpg), but sometimes I
    want to send the exact untouched-in-any-way photo.

    I don't consider a name change of the *file* to be a non-untouched
    *photo*. If you - like me - consider a name in local time to be better,
    more accurate, <whatever>, then I don't see fixing that as "touching"
    the photo.

    As others have mentioned, the name is just a name. Other cameras -
    like my real camera - use names which do not have a date/time in them,
    i.e. for example DSC_1342.JPG.

    HTH.

    BTW, Windows says my timezone is "UTC +1:00"! :-)

    Exactly. The only way to avoid those errors is to use UTC for all
    timestamps in the cameras memory cards. Linux does that (inexact, but suffices). Then you do not have to worry ever again about time zones or
    summer time shift.

    heating demands, reduced crime, and reduced automobile accidents. The opposition was concerned about children leaving for school in the
    dark and the construction industry was concerned about morning

    schoolchildren in Florida, including eight children who were killed,
    Governor Reubin Askew asked for the year-round law to be repealed.

    However, it doesn't change the fact that your assertion that GMT changes
    with the clocks in the summer is categorically wrong.

    GMT and UTC are two slightly different things.

    GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the mean solar time at the Royal

    UTC is based on atomic time with leap seconds inserted when convenient
    so that the difference between GMT and UTC is no more than around 1 second.

    That is not correct. It has the same relevance as CEST time.

    Well, I would prefer it this way, so there would not be any confusion,
    which timezone applies to that date.

    More interesting is what the EXIF data says. In my case the Pixel 6a
    also uses UTC for the filename but records local time in the EXIF data.
    So EXIF will tell you the local time but the filename is based on UTC.

    And no, I don't think there is a setting to change that. The way how the filenames are generated are based on the Camera-Library provided by
    Google which is used by the native Google Camera but also many vendor

    Zulu is GMT

    For people who do not understand the concept:

    Zulu is UTC but not GMT.

    Wrong; it is also GMT. See my other more detailed post.

    Whether you like it or not: It is different.
    Very much so. Guess why in 1972 UTC was introduced.

    A desire to move away from a geographic name. Greenwich makes no sense to most of the world. It is also impossible to pronounce by some.

    For most purposes GMT/UTC can be used interchangeably.

    I'd love to know why you think it is "very much" different. In your words, not a copy pasted wp article.


    GMT is mean solar time based on the sun's position in the sky.

    UTC is based on atomic time with leap seconds inserted when most
    convenient to keep the difference under about 0.9 seconds.

    So for many purposes they are the same, but there is still an important difference.

    Here is what happened (and still happens):

    Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2023 12:43:04 -0000

    i.e, the correct 'new' format.

    But I run a personal local news server (Hamster), so the post from my newsreader goes to Hamster, which later posts it to the 'real' news
    server (News.Individual.Net, the same as you use). Apparently it goes
    wrong in that latter phase, because the article as it is on the real
    news server has

    Date: 11 Oct 2023 12:43:10 GMT

    i.e. 'incorrect' format.

    Probably Hamster is the culprit and there's probably little I can do
    about it, because Hamster is very old software, which I want/have to
    keep using.

    Thanks again.

    GMT is mean solar time. AFAIK it has to be estimated by watching (and understanding the significance of) the position of the sun in the sky.

    UT1 is the same but based on atomic time but specified by an offset from
    UTC. I think it's always within 0.1 second of UTC but I'm not sure.

    UTC is based on atomic time but with leap seconds inserted to keep the difference between GMT and UTC under around 0.9 seconds.

    I usually change the filenames as soon as I dump the photos to the

    I would love to have my cameras in Zulu aka UTC time, and I can't.

    Why? The clock of a digital camera can just be set to UTC.

    Zulu is GMT

    For people who do not understand the concept:

    Zulu is UTC but not GMT.

    Wrong; it is also GMT. See my other more detailed post.

    Whether you like it or not: It is different.
    Very much so. Guess why in 1972 UTC was introduced.

    A desire to move away from a geographic name. Greenwich makes no sense to
    most of the world. It is also impossible to pronounce by some.

    For most purposes GMT/UTC can be used interchangeably.

    I'd love to know why you think it is "very much" different. In your words, >> not a copy pasted wp article.


    GMT is mean solar time based on the sun's position in the sky.

    UTC is based on atomic time with leap seconds inserted when most
    convenient to keep the difference under about 0.9 seconds.

    So for many purposes they are the same, but there is still an important difference.

    I accept that, but I was hoping that Joerg, the authority on GMT and how it changes between summer and winter, could explain it himself.

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_in_the_United_Sta


    "During the 1973 oil embargo by the Organization of Arab Petroleum
    Exporting Countries (OAPEC), in an effort to conserve fuel, Congress
    enacted a trial period of year-round DST (P.L. 93-182), beginning
    January 6, 1974, and ending April 27, 1975. The trial was hotly
    debated. Those in favor pointed to increased daylight hours in the
    summer evening: more time for recreation, reduced lighting and
    heating demands, reduced crime, and reduced automobile accidents. The opposition was concerned about children leaving for school in the
    dark and the construction industry was concerned about morning
    accidents. After several morning traffic accidents involving
    schoolchildren in Florida, including eight children who were killed,
    Governor Reubin Askew asked for the year-round law to be repealed.

    "Over three months from December to March, public support dropped
    from 79% to 42%. Some schools moved their start times later. Shortly
    after the end of the Watergate scandal caused a change of
    administration, the act was amended in October 1974 (P.L. 93-434) to
    return to standard time for four months, beginning October 27, 1974,
    and ending February 23, 1975, when DST resumed. When the trial ended
    in October 1975, the country returned to observing summer DST (with
    the aforementioned exceptions)."

    There was nothing in that article about "double" or "two hour" --
    both search terms (without quotes) came up empty.

    I stand corrected. I must have just been really happy about leaving DST
    on all year.

    I'm really glad I wasn't working then and didn't need to buy much gas.
    It got so that if people saw a short line they'd dive into it even if
    they only needed a few gallons. I got bashed by such a woman cutting
    across several lanes of traffic for that purpose.

    Her insurance refused to pay so I sued her in small claims court.
    Imagine my joy when she informed the court that she had no idea why we
    were all there because MY insurance company had already paid HER off. Magistrate found for her -- experts had already decided who was at fault.

    My insurance company didn't even tell me she'd filed a claim, they just
    took her word for it and paid her off. I switched companies at the next opportunity. NEVER allow a Magistrate (or other non-judge) to judge
    your case if it involves any thought whatsoever.

    I've read all the many responses in this thread and thought to do some investigation.

    After some sidetracks, I looked at *my* camera app (Samsung) and see
    that that camera app *does* create filenames in local time:

    20231023_172403.jpg (it was 17:24, local Dutch time)

    I.e. exactly like you want them, even with only full seconds.

    So perhaps it's worth you while to consider to look at other (real?
    :-)) camera apps.

    I tried several others for various reasons. There was always ONE thing
    I liked better than the Pixel, but more that I disliked. I finally just
    got tired of testing.

    [Rewind/repeat:]

    I change this with jhead (20231018-114736.jpg), but sometimes I
    want to send the exact untouched-in-any-way photo.

    I don't consider a name change of the *file* to be a non-untouched *photo*. If you - like me - consider a name in local time to be better,
    more accurate, <whatever>, then I don't see fixing that as "touching"
    the photo.

    That probably counts as access time, which is a 'touch'. I should look.
    I know linux keeps track of that... Not going to worry about this any
    more -- explanation in different post.

    As others have mentioned, the name is just a name. Other cameras -
    like my real camera - use names which do not have a date/time in them,
    i.e. for example DSC_1342.JPG.

    HTH.

    BTW, Windows says my timezone is "UTC +1:00"! :-)

    Ah, a foreigner :-)

    It really bothers me that foreigners speak English better than most of
    the 'Murkan native-born. Idioms too.

    That is not correct. It has the same relevance as CEST time.


    I think mean solar time (like GMT) is still used by astronomers, though
    maybe only in the calculation of other things like sidereal time.

    Telescopes have a "clockwork" mechanism to counter the rotation of the
    earth, so they adjust by the true rotation of the earth, not an atomic
    clock.

    Of course, currently (since two decades ago?) telescopes fixate the
    position by a computer examining a real time photo of the sky,
    compensating the speed of the motors slightly for things like the gears
    not being absolutely exact.

    Yes and no... I can not tell the configuration that the time zone is UTC
    (and that there is no summer time). I can set the actual time digits to
    UTC, but it doesn't know that it is UTC, and when importing to the
    computer it is a mess.

    I would have to be able to set the time zone independently from saying
    the time is UTC. Time zone for information only.

    Also, if the camera can get the time from GPS directly or indirectly, it
    messes my adjustments.

    You do eat your dinner later. The sun sets about that time in Scotland as
    well.

    No, it's because you do eat dinner so late - we are capable of setting our >> watches to local time. But it's getting better. Hasn't the Spanish

    because they were falling asleep in school in the morning?

    I haven't heard of that.

    It is quite difficult to send kids to sleep while the sun is shining,
    anyway.

    That's what shutters/blinds are for ;)

    If that's the reason icelandic kids would never sleep in summer.

    I remember in Madrid (it was several years ago) that it was impossible to

    dinner. (A good restaurant - not a fast-food place.)

    Ah! Thanks!

    I thought you had lost the plot! :-) But you are right.

    Here is what happened (and still happens):

    In my 'posted' file, the header of my article is

    Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2023 12:43:04 -0000

    i.e, the correct 'new' format.

    But I run a personal local news server (Hamster), so the post from my
    newsreader goes to Hamster, which later posts it to the 'real' news
    server (News.Individual.Net, the same as you use). Apparently it goes
    wrong in that latter phase, because the article as it is on the real
    news server has

    Date: 11 Oct 2023 12:43:10 GMT

    i.e. 'incorrect' format.

    Probably Hamster is the culprit and there's probably little I can do
    about it, because Hamster is very old software, which I want/have to
    keep using.

    Thanks again.

    The time format is defined in RFC 5322, which also describes the
    'obsolete' standard which you're using.

    It explains why I see both -0000(UTC) and -0000(GMT) [but not, say,
    -0700(EST) ] and that -0000 is not necessarily the same as +0000.

    I don't generate the time so E-S must do it.

    Precisely. You can always tell the tourists - they're the ones going home
    to bed at about 22:00 hours when the evening dinner rush hour starts. It's quite good for the tourists, it means we get to get the best seats in the restaurants without having to scramble for them and we get into the
    attractions early in the morning without there being a huge queue. In the former case I am very happily remembering (from many years back) the Rio
    Grande restaurant in Sevilla where we had seats right next to the river opposite the Torre del Oro. On the way back the streets were jammed with outbound cars. We didn't mind - we had had a cracking evening and SWMBO discovered that white Rioja existed.

    I don't generate the time so E-S must do it.

    Strange that there are no MUSTs in the section and only two SHOULDs.

    Anyway, the NetNews Article Format RFC (RFC5536) is very specific
    about 'GMT' being allowed. It's even a MUST to accept it.

    3.1.1. Date

    The Date header field is the same as that specified in Sections 3.3
    and 3.6.1 of [RFC5322], with the added restrictions detailed above in
    Section 2.2. However, the use of "GMT" as a time zone (part of
    <obs-zone>), although deprecated, is widespread in Netnews articles
    today. Therefore, agents MUST accept <date-time> constructs that use
    the "GMT" zone.

    'Netnews Article Format '
    <https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5536.txt?number=5536>

    RFC5536 seems to be contradicting RFC5322 about whether a posting
    agent should not / must not *generate* a time zone of "GMT".

    But as long as agents/servers MUST *accept* it, it's fine by me.

    It does exist and is still used in many places, as has been explained

    If you want an example of it currently being used in Europe, there are references to GMT in the schedule published today by the European
    Space Agency (ESA).

    The camera(s) has timezones, just not UTC.

    My first camera (samsung) has "cities", so it also has summer time.

    I could use London, GMT+0, winter time; but then the computer doesn't
    know the media is UTC, always assumes local time and gets the time
    wrong. I might mount the media manually and find an option to supersede
    the time, I have not looked in detail.

    My second camera (Nikon) has no battery now.

    My third camera (Lumix) does the same as the first, and is a decade newer.


    I just had a quick look at man mount.ntfs-3g, and I don't see a timezone setting.

    That probably counts as access time, which is a 'touch'. I should look.

    Yes, I know you are not going to worry about this any more, so this is
    just a technical point:

    Linux/Unix indeed keeps track of the access time (atime), but you can
    change that, so if you (or your software) keep track of it, you can
    change it back to what it was. What you can't change - and which gets
    changed if you change any of the other times - is the ctime (used to be
    called the change-of-inode time).

    But you talked about "send"ing these files, so the access time gets
    changed anyway and the ctime of the destination file will be different
    then that of the source anyway.

    default is false, I just set it to true. Now when I set the focus on
    your email, it says at the right of the header panel 18:09 +0000, and
    for Stan it says 09:54 -0700

    But in the list of emails panels it says 20:09 and 18:54, which are
    probably my local time.

    I don't see where to change the format of the first line, the "On date,
    name wrote"

    I don't use a date/time in the attribution line of my posts, because I
    think it's not relevant most of the time and people can easily look it
    up if they think it's relevant.

    If I think it is relevant, for example when responding to a rather old
    post, I add the date manually.

    If people use date/time in their attribution line, I think they should
    try to use the timezone of the poster they are referring to.

    In your case, the date/time is correct, but because we're in the same timezone, I can't check if you're referring to the parent poster's
    timezone ('correct') or your timezone ('wrong').

    Why? The clock of a digital camera can just be set to UTC.

    Yes and no... I can not tell the configuration that the time zone is UTC >> (and that there is no summer time). I can set the actual time digits to
    UTC, but it doesn't know that it is UTC, and when importing to the
    computer it is a mess.

    So the camera does not have a timezone at all and you can not tell the computer, that the time information should be treated as UTC?

    The camera(s) has timezones, just not UTC.

    My first camera (samsung) has "cities", so it also has summer time.

    I could use London, GMT+0, winter time; but then the computer doesn't
    know the media is UTC, always assumes local time and gets the time
    wrong. I might mount the media manually and find an option to supersede
    the time, I have not looked in detail.

    My second camera (Nikon) has no battery now.

    My third camera (Lumix) does the same as the first, and is a decade newer.

    Strange! All our cameras - probably ten or so over time - could always
    be manually set to the desired time and if they had a DST setting, that
    could be turned off.

    What I actually *do*, is set them to the local time of the place where
    we take the photos, because that's what gets recorded in the EXIF part
    of the JPEG file.

    I just had a quick look at man mount.ntfs-3g, and I don't see a timezone setting.

    Why would a timezone matter? That would affect the timestamps *of* the
    files (atime, mtime, ctime), not the times *in* (the EXIF part of) the
    file.

    IIRC, Unix timestamps of files are seconds from Epoch (whatever date
    in 1970) and in UTC. The file utitities translate that to local time
    when doing 'ls -l' like things, I.e. the *display* is in local time,
    but the *storage* is in UTC.

    [...]

    Well - if the camera would use GPS for time synchronization, than it
    would have to use UTC and adjust the time according to a local timezone
    you have to set.

    It doesn't. It reads local time from the connected phone over wifi/BT

    FTR, non of my cameras had/have GPS, so GPS could/can not clobber the
    time I had/have manually set.

    I see.

    My Sony RX100 M4 only has a date/time setting without timezone and a
    *manual* setting for DST on/off which you have to change yourself and
    will not automatically update. So it just keep it at UTC and "DST off"
    and treat every timestamp as UTC when working with the images.

    An attribution time is only wrong if it refers to a different time, after adjusting for timezone, to the timestamp of the referred-to post.

    can be off.

    Yes, but the memory cards are always FAT or exFAT. They use always local
    time, and have no information of timezone. And for the classification of photos, the file timestamp is ignored, it is the exif data which is the
    boss.

    The time that E-S accepted my post.

    I am in the UK. The local time is now 22:22 BST. BST is UTC+0100.

    No, AFAIK the date header is written by your software (at the time of
    sending) and should be in your locale.

    IF it is missing, then the nntp server will add one.

    I don't provide the time header. It was simpler.

    Why 'should' it be the time my locale?

    From RFC 5322:
    Though "-0000" also indicates Universal Time, it is used to indicate that
    the time was generated on a system that may be in a local time zone other
    than Universal Time and that the date-time contains no information about
    the local time zone.

    So it may tell you something about the TZ of the system generating it, but
    that may not be in the same TZ as the user's NNTP client.

    FWIW I display all times in UTC. But as you see I quote a post's time as
    it arrived which I think is helpful. Perhaps I should add [21:41 UT]?

    I don't consider a name change of the *file* to be a non-untouched

    That probably counts as access time, which is a 'touch'. I should look.
    I know linux keeps track of that... Not going to worry about this any
    more -- explanation in different post.

    Yes, I know you are not going to worry about this any more, so this is just a technical point:

    Linux/Unix indeed keeps track of the access time (atime), but you can change that, so if you (or your software) keep track of it, you can
    change it back to what it was. What you can't change - and which gets
    changed if you change any of the other times - is the ctime (used to be called the change-of-inode time).

    But you talked about "send"ing these files, so the access time gets changed anyway and the ctime of the destination file will be different
    then that of the source anyway.
