how are missing days counted in the totals
#archive-notes 2026-06-04
- tokyo_taper — if you quote a date from here say UTC, the regional channels have had real confusion about it 11:36
- pinch_not_stretch — it says a day is unavailable and deliberately doesnt say which reason, because that would leak a redaction, your mileage will differ 12:02
- tokyo_taper — does an edit after a day closes show differently to one made in the minute 12:24
- tokyo_taper — leaving doesnt unpublish anything automatically, but a request from someone whos left is treated the same it once removed a line about a bus route because it read… 13:18
you ask and it goes. you dont have to give a reason and you wont be asked for one, happy to be corrected
[edited]if you quote a date from here say UTC, the regional channels have had real confusion about it
the edited marker means the line was changed inside the same day, before the day sealed
the redaction marker links to the policy page so nobody has to guess what happened, i could be wrong
UTC always, no seasonal adjustment, which is why evenings in australia land on the previous date
the timestamp confusion is the most asked thing in here and ive answered it every year since 2024
it says a day is unavailable and deliberately doesnt say which reason, because that would leak a redaction, your mileage will differ
one file per day
does a redaction remove the whole day or only the line
marker not deleted
quiet channels genuinely have empty days and empty pages dont get published
does an edit after a day closes show differently to one made in the minute
there were two multi day logging failures, one in 2024 and one in 2025, those days are just gone
it once removed a line about a bus route because it read like a handle, i think
asked for an export of my own lines and got it, a plain text bundle split by day
is a day sealed at midnight UTC or at some other point
leaving doesnt unpublish anything automatically, but a request from someone whos left is treated the same
it once removed a line about a bus route because it read like a handle
why is everything in UTC when nearly nobody here is
a redaction replaces the line and keeps its position so the conversation still reads
does renaming a channel break links to the old days
no reason needed
unrelated but does the automated pass strip anything besides links and emails
is there a limit on how much i can ask to be removed
the automated pass eats emails, phone numbers and anything that looks like a handle, and its aggressive
can i get an export of just my own lines
ah, timezone thing
UTC, always
typos are load bearing
there is no window on a redaction request, any published line at any time
