Dinosaure<p>I just spent probably two week to implement a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NTP</span></a> server as an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/unikernel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unikernel</span></a> in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OCaml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OCaml</span></a>. It was pretty... tuff! My recent outcome is that my "skew" is ~3.5e-7 where chrony has a skew around 1e-6. In other words, the error is overall smaller in my implementation than in chrony's.</p><p>I will continue to compare metrics, but it is quite satisfying to confirm the suitability of unikernels for this type of service.</p>
gyptazy<p>I’m already providing public <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/NTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NTP</span></a> systems to the NTPPool project for more than 10 yrs and with the BoxyBSD locations, I bring them all to the NTPool - starting now with <a href="https://mastodon.gyptazy.com/tags/Milan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Milan</span></a> (IT), Kansas (US) &amp; Amsterdam (NL).</p>
JJ Celery<p>Let's take a moment to remember the guy who made sure we don't have to change Every Goddamn Clock today, David L.

John Kristoff<p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ThrowbackThursday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThrowbackThursday</span></a> In 2010 I listed the frequency distribution by major version of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/junos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>junos</span></a> routers running in-the-wild. No one had done this before, and I was asked how I was able to do it. At the time I refused to say. Enough time has passed...</p><p>A year earlier I had begun surveying the Internet for open <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NTP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NTP</span></a> servers after discovering the reflection/amplification threat present in the protocol, but still not publicly disclosed. One of the things I was collecting was mode 6 control readlist responses. The system variable contains OS detail, including version info (although cisco boxes just return "cisco" :-). There were lots of Juniper routers with an open NTP listener in those days. For awhile it was a good way to see what my fellow netops were running.</p>
