This is streetmentioner.dmz.icant.alt. It knows what time it is because it knows what time it isn't. It calculates this by un-becoming the time it previously will be. The local daemon, chrony, then applies a corrective slew to drive the temporal state from a time that it isn't, toward a present that is progressively less absent.

@mrgrumpymonkey It's way funnier if you understand who Dr. Dan Streetmentioner is:
The major problem posed by time travel is quite simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr Dan Streetmentioner’s Time Traveller’s Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations.
