Now that DST is behind us — which forced me to reset my time vis-à-vis FTM — the current server time is now 3 hours short of my time:
It advises that it's currently 08:26 whereas my CST time is 11:26.
This would put the FTM server somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
¿Qué pasa?

It's returning to the place where it was manufactured❓

😸


Actually the server could be in Alaska.

Pretty sure Aquaman ain't got the chops to have created it — unless you're talking about something like "divine guidance". Boo. Hiss. tongue

Maybe tacit's using an offshore server to protect FTM's content from the potential consequences of government surveillance? (Judging from the time differential, I'll guess that it's either on a boat or Gilligan's Island.)

When this subject came up in March, tacit told us in post #44102 that the server was in L. A.

In the immediately preceding post I pointed out that the server hadn't been adjusted for daylight savings time, and it now looks like its clock has been set back without ever having been set forward.
