It really bugs me how often ntpd produces slightly out of sync clocks by trying to be overly clever with skew and with trying to not break software that relies on a monotonically increasing clock. If something breaks when the clock fails to increase monotonically, it's shit, I don't care if it crashes. I'd rather it crash so that I know to uninstall it.

So, I tried to do it "right" this time, but I am going with the strategy that works: run `ntpdate pool.ntp.org` after the net comes up and then periodically run it again from a cronjob. ntpd(1) has some warnings about how if you do it that way, you don't get the cool skew detection, and it should be the opposite

In other news, `cargo` is a total piece of shit and this should come as no surprise to me because Rust is a language made by children that have no idea what they're doing but every time I have to interact with software written in Rust, the compiler and the tooling find new ways to disappoint me. I should just get a bunch of RISC-V gear so Rust shit won't run and I don't run into problems like this.

Unless you were expecting a bird, it's "no foul", you dog-fucking Minnesota trailer-trash cracker hole. Your writing is always painful.

@colonelj @Falaichte @NonPlayableClown @Tony @bot It's a long list to clear, a lot of things would have to stop being true, and in a way that's possible to verify; I think it's unlikely.
