This #strftime site is really cool: https://strftime.net/. Comprehensive, and you can try out the formatter.
today i learned to slightly edit the i3status.conf and then took a whole day not realizing that i'd never put the local file in the right path in my home dir. I'd been telling others about how without work, with weeks of not stepping out of the house at all, I'd lost track of which day it is in the week. Not any more! Thanks %a #strftime #i3status #slowpoke
