Happy new year to all those for whom time still has meaning.
@mattblaze Time is that which is measured by NTP.
@SteveBellovin @mattblaze NTP is a community coming together to solve the "Someone with one watch knows what time it is, someone with two is never sure" problem. That kind of effective community is a fine harbinger of 2023 if I ever heard one.

The very best thing about managing NTP at a organization is having the role address [email protected]

(Ok, it's also fun to watch leap second adjustments propagate.0

@jpgoldberg @snorerot13 @SteveBellovin @mattblaze When I was at VMware years ago, the group that was responsible for virtualizing timer interrupts had the mailing list time-lords@, which was way cooler than us mere mortals who only did CPU scheduling.
@jpgoldberg @snorerot13 @SteveBellovin @mattblaze I had named my NTP servers wibbly, wobbly, timey and whimey.
@SteveBellovin @mattblaze There is only UTC^H^H^HTAI. Everything else is an abomination.

@mattblaze happy New year ๐ŸŽŠ
@mattblaze as the late great Douglas Adams once wrote: "Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so". #WFM
@mattblaze โ€œI used to think time was a thief. But you give before you take. Time is a gift. Every minute. Every second.โ€ โ€” Happy new year! ๐Ÿฅณ

@mattblaze
โ€œTime is an illusion that helps things make sense
So we are always living in the present tense
It seems unforgiving when a good thing ends
But you and I will always be back then
You and I will always be back thenโ€

@mattblaze When youโ€™ve already lived forever time really does have no meaning ๐Ÿ‘€

@mattblaze Well, time stops everything happening all at once.

Unless thatโ€™s whatโ€™s happening and it just takes a while, I suppose.

@mattblaze @nailbomb3 Iโ€™m retired. Time means less than it used to and Iโ€™m fine with that. ๐Ÿ˜
