  1. NTP in practice. Mostly it works. Time to time it's like 8 hours off. Internet connection is working.

    I already debugged unreliable NTP once and replaced the unreliable "ntp" NTP daemon with much more reliable "chrony" NTP daemon. But still unreliable.

    "Old people don't like computers" - because computers are unreliable! Why would I use something that's unreliable? A tuning fork ground out of quartz, invented by Seiko, connected to a battery, semiconductor amplifier, 15-bit counter, few logic gates, stepper motor, cogwheels, hands and a clock face is much more reliable!
