Just to follow up on this, it appears that the problem is limited to
systems in the Europe/Dublin time zone. Not good, but not the disaster
I was fearing. Never been so glad to miss something obvious. ;)
Europe/Dublin is about to switch GMT->IST but likewise UK is about to
go GMT->BST so I'm wondering if the problem might actually pick up?
IRC user chrisawi points out that:
today, raid-check.timer's trigger is Sun 2021-03-28 01:00:00
yesterday, it was Sun 2021-03-21 01:00:00
And raid-check.timer contains:
OnCalendar=Sun *-*-* 01:00:00
The switch from GMT->IST and GMT->BST happen on 2021-03-28 01:00:00
Conversely in most of Europe, it will change 2021-03-28 but with two
differences that might be relevant: 02:00:00, and from Standard to
Daylight time.
