Indiana timezones are being excessively promoted

[Popolechien]

On the General tab it is possible to select a timezone for the hotspot, and while I would welcome having it replaced with a list that is a little shorter, I would also like to understand why of all places in the world the great state of Indiana is so prominently favoured?

What kind of private jokes are Vevay and Tell City?

It's been established that location-based timezones are the most practical because people don't know better and because DST adds complexity.

You understand this list comes from a recognized source. I don't want to discuss the list.

With that said, the UX is terrible currently unless you want UTC 😉.

I suggest we replace it with an auto-filling text-field such as the one with have on zimfarm for the languages/categories. It's a lot more flexible than this bare list and maintains the feature.

Would that be OK ?

[Popolechien]

very much yes. thanks.

Yes, and default value should be the one of the client IP.
