The rest of the snark/ bitterness aside ... NTP takes latency as a constraint, and accommodates for it.

And far from a disgrace, NTP was a brilliant design for its time, and has proven to be far more future-proof than should have been expected.

“snark bitterness side” I see so I’m not entitled to my feelings and I’m holding it wrong. No. It’s a disgrace. The latency is shit the precision is shit and WWVB to go with it is an insult.

Future proof? Are you living in the same future I am where our trades are front run? I notice you didn’t engage with the substance of my attack at all.
