I moved to South Africa in 2019, having lived for 40 years in Belgium before that.
Belgium has DST, South Africa does not.
Before the move, I thought the DST change affected me for about a week or so.
I now know that it actually affects me the whole year round. My daily rhythm has stabilized over the past few years. I consistently wake up with the Sun now, which I could never do before the move.
DST is a terrible idea.

I tend to just configure my git remotes to not accept pushes to the main branch, only merges. After that it's just a matter of simple git history editing.

Fun fact: the reason it was dropped from later versions of Windows was because it made a number of assumptions that were not true in 64-bit Windows and it was deemed too expensive to port.
Also I found a download somewhere and can confirm it works just fine under wine on Linux 😉

Ik woon in Zuid Afrika en heb al jaaaren een desktop sip-telefoon aangesloten bij 3starsnet (grandstream hardware)
Zijn sindsdien wel overgenomen en heten nu anders, maar werkt gewoon goed, ook met andere sip providers.

@neverpanic I found out in the mean time through a quickly whipped up docker container that 15.6 doesn't support it, but 16 does (at least as far as "rpm --import" not complaining with "rpm -qa|grep gpg" listing the key).
I'm fine with dropping RHEL9 and OpenSUSE <15 from our supported distributions 🤷

@neverpanic actually we're supposed to have already dropped 15.5 since... January. Heh.
@neverpanic yes, it does seem to work on RHEL10. Also on Fedora 41, but not on OpenSUSE 15.5 (I don't have VMs for the other RPM-based systems we support). So we'll probably have to drop support for RHEL9 and openSUSE 15.5 then, I guess (provided 15.6 works, will test soon).
Is there a workaround for this that you're aware of? Other than "generate RSA keys instead", which technically we could do but which I'd like to avoid if at all possible.

@neverpanic Good question! Absolutely zero clue. This is the standard RPM as shipped with RHEL9 (haven't tried on fedora or opensuse yet)
[wouter@rhel rpm-gpg]$ sudo rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-BEID-RELEASE
[wouter@rhel rpm-gpg]$ sudo rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-BEID-RELEASE-2025
fout: RPM-GPG-KEY-BEID-RELEASE-2025: key 1 import failed.
[wouter@rhel rpm-gpg]$ sudo rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-BEID-CONTINUOUS
The only differences are that -2025 is recent and ECDSA NIST P-384, the other two are over 10 years old and need to be rotated, and are RSA.
Does RPM not support ECDSA for code signatures? Or am I doing something wrong?

Congrats! I co owned a business for 15 years, before moving across continents.
It's hard, it's stressful, but it's also rewarding if you can make it work. And boy do I miss being able to say "sorry, our company doesn't do that"!

Apparently there's a fix for that:
