The best answer anyone really has on why we still have Daylight Saving Time is because it's supposed to save energy, though that claim is exaggerated. A lot of people like to blame the farmers for the time change and say they are the reason we have it. That's a myth and farmers wer...
The leaves are changing and soon the clocks in New York will too. Daylight Saving Time (DST) is ending and most will have to change the clocks. Everyone except those in Hawaii and most of Arizona, the two states where time remains the same all year and has since the 1960s. summerp...

This is most likely due to not handling DST correctly (which changes this weekend). If the max limit of 7 days is not from the console but the MinIO backend itself, I wonder how AWS S3 handles this and whether MinIO has the same behaviour here. ...
