Currently my time is:

```auto
$ date
Sa 22. Apr 11:57:07 CEST 2023

```

My frontmatter says:

```auto
---
layout: post
...
published: true
date: 2023-04-22 10:48:00
---

```

And my `_config.yml` contains:

```auto
timezone: "Europe/Berlin"

```

yet I get:

```auto
ruby 3.1.1p18 (2022-02-18 revision 53f5fc4236) [x86_64-linux-musl]
Configuration file: /srv/jekyll/_config.yml
            Source: /srv/jekyll
       Destination: /srv/jekyll/_site
 Incremental build: disabled. Enable with --incremental
      Generating... 
          Skipping: _posts/2023/2023-04-19-mulle_objc_0_22_1_release.md has a future date

```

What could be the reason for that ?

Is including the full datetime important? I’d remove the time and just keep 2023-04-22. Could be that it doesn’t check the locale.
