@erincandescent @snowfox indeed CLOCK_TAI works by setting CLOCK_REALTIME plus the (integer) kernel TAI offset…

…but I'm a strong believer in incremental steps and I'd really like to see more software use CLOCK_TAI (as appropriate), and tackle representation of leap-smearing separately (because these things don't block each other)

The thing more concerning to me is filesystem support for TAI timestamps 😩

@benjojo @jeff running a WISP, I can second this. They work but the higher you go in the stack the more likely you are to run into weirdness. Also they're painful on the OAM side due to their... "unique"... CLI and general OS behaviour. Not bad per se, but different from everything else.

bringing up you're involved with running an ISP while playing some online game:

any random game:
"oh cool how does that work" "why does my wifi not work behind 5 walls" "can you fix my router"

EVE Online:
"ah i run a hoster" "oh hey me too want to peer?"
