Slept from eleven to seven.
Woke briefly around three.
High of eighty-five and sunny today.
Work:
- Update workstation to new Debian stable
Done.
- Work on leasing desktop build
Done.
Got into work a few minutes early.
Hmm, after updating from Stretch to Buster, my default `date` output changed.
Before: `Mon Jul 8 09:01:09 EDT 2019`.
After: `Mon 08 Jul 2019 12:12:40 PM EDT`.
Did my locale change??
No:
```
--- falstaff ~ % cat /etc/default/locale
# File generated by update-locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
--- falstaff ~ % cat /etc/timezone
America/Detroit
```
I asked on freenode #debian.
```
<petn-randall> paulgrmn: Probably because there was an update to the timezone data.
<petn-randall> paulgrmn: Which will likely also end up in oldstable, just a little later
<BCMM> $LC_TIME controls date's default format, right?
```
Hmm.
```
--- falstaff ~ % cat /etc/timezone ; date ; env LC_TIME=America/Detroit date
America/Detroit

--- falstaff ~ % date ; env LC_TIME=en_US.utf8 date ; env LC_TIME=LC_TIME=en_GB.utf8 date
Mon 08 Jul 2019 12:53:28 PM EDT
Mon 08 Jul 2019 12:53:28 PM EDT
Mon Jul 8 12:53:28 EDT 2019
--- falstaff ~ % locale | grep LC_TIME
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
```
```
<greycat> paulgrmn: buster's locale definitions change
<BCMM> fwiw, i get paulgrmn's first format with LC_TIME=en_GB.utf8 date, and the second format with LC_TIME=en_US.utf8 date
<greycat> paulgrmn: I did this <https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg741047.html>
```
Indeed.
Now I know to not assume the date format for a particular locale won't change.
Specify the format if it matters, like: `date +'%a %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z'`
Twenty-minute walk at lunch.
Saw a woodchuck, a couple dragonflies, and a red admiral butterfly.

Read more of the Three Body Problem, which I started last night.
Engaging.
It doesn't noticeably suffer from being a translations.
Surprising that Cultural Revolution chapters apparently were published in China too.
