The same file can be reached by multiple names. So by doing this you
end up, in this case, with a ~256x amplification.
A simple "du -sh" does a better job here!

Ah, I see. I've never tried it but I believe that systemd timers can
have a time spec that includes time zone, so you can set timers that
fire on a different time zone to that used by the rest of the system.
$ systemd-analyze calendar '11:00 Europe/London'
Original form: 11:00 Europe/London
Normalized form: *-*-* 11:00:00 Europe/London
Next elapse: Sun 2020-11-22 11:00:00 UTC
From now: 6h left
Cheers,
Andy
