#archive-notes 2026-06-06

an edit inside the first minute is silent, after that it marks, which catches people out

right so a day seals at 00:00 UTC and after that only a redaction touches it

logged and sealed

sorry to jump in it once removed a line about a bus route because it read like a handle

i tested the link stripper four times in 2024 and it won every time

gaps look worse in the sourcing channels because of the new year window when suppliers close

renames keep the old paths working, i checked a 2024 day after the last one

policy page covers it

are reply quotes preserved if the quoted line got redacted

ok so is a day sealed at midnight UTC or at some other point

reply quotes survive a redaction, you see the shape of the conversation with a hole in it

the edited marker means the line was changed inside the same day, before the day sealed, ill dig out the number

update on the earlier thing does a redaction remove the whole day or only the line

UTC always, no seasonal adjustment, which is why evenings in australia land on the previous date
leaving doesnt unpublish anything automatically, but a request from someone whos left is treated the same

one timezone one date forever is the least confusing option available and it still confuses everybody

if you quote a date from here say UTC, the regional channels have had real confusion about it

i asked for two lines out and it took about 10 days with no questions asked
