Needed an #NTP server on a Raspberry Pi. To keep it light, I chose #OpenNTPD.

Not a great idea.

If your clock is off by more than 180 seconds, it won't adjust it; logs say

adjtime failed: Invalid argument

Now, according to the man page, it will jump to adjust larger offsets on startup, but apparently #Debian has patched this to require adding `-s` to /etc/default/openntpd.

They also don't support `constraint from` config stanzas used to get a trusted date via HTTPS.

Trying #chrony now.

Anyone else getting these warnings when running #OpenNTPD on either #FreeBSD or #HardenedBSD ?

$ sudo service openntpd start
Performing sanity check on openntpd configuration:
configuration OK
Starting openntpd.
creating new /var/db/ntpd.drift
constraint: failed to load constraint ca
constraint: failed to load constraint ca
constraint: failed to load constraint ca
constraint: failed to load constraint ca

I don't really know what that failure is or what it means. I don't know if I should take action--or even what kind of action to take.

Today's cool activity. Preparing and network booting a stack of Lenovo M920q Tiny ThinkCentre with #OpenBSD and perform unattended installs ready for #ansible bootstrapping. These will be spread around the network as Stratum 3 time servers for various devices to sync off #OpenNTPD

My joyful #journey with #openbsd 🐡thickens.
Today I boosted my #selfhosting #services with #nfs, teaming up with #adblock, #caldav, #carddav, #cgit, #httpd, #vnstat, #openntpd

with my #MIDI to WiFi "port" I seem to have accidentally fixed a bug in #OpenNTPd
tbh likely only in the linux port, not in the #OpenBSD original.

meanwhile it's #fantasound (stereo+1=3)

for some reasons I need a precise time on my computer recently. so I started to investigate why openntpd wasn't running. for a while I just started it when I needed it, but now I noticed it stops r...

#chronyd and #openntpd only step time in the first couple seconds after startup. During this time my internet access is not yet fully functional.
