I am Linux pro, I know how to change time on nix My question is “Is it ok if fix time zone from SSH?” in Umbrel. I thought maybe the time was specially set in the program

By default in Umbrel Time zone: Etc/UTC (UTC, +0000) So its safe if i change it?

Good question. I’m also curious. It bothers me that the timezone is UTC, but I don’t know whether it is OK to change it.

Guys, UTC is the standard time for the whole Bitcoin Blockchain! If you change that, the whole world would collapse :slight_smile: How do you think a node from US will have same blocks with a node from India and Russia?

That makes perfect sense but local time zone setting or detection can be added in a future version to do a quick calculation before displaying the appropriate Good Morning vs Good Afternoon, etc greetings.
