Description: Andy will present: Doctor Stratum: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Clock

In this talk, we’ll explore how Linux keeps time, from NTP and chrony to stratums, time zones, and the infamous “watch problem.” Whether you’re syncing with GPS, hardening security, or just trying to keep your logs honest, you’ll leave knowing how to make your systems tick like clockwork — all without needing 1.21 gigawatts.
