Try explaining that to Poettering. [1] [2] [1] https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-August/022575.html https://lists.freedesktop.org/archi

  I think you linked something that has little to do with the subject at hand in order to take a jab at Poettering. Lame behaviour. The issue, as I remember it, is more complex than you suggest with your quip. Who is the vendor for a distributed copy of systemd, is it systemd or the distributor?

    Both threads are exactly about the subject of the discussion. How does it have “little to do with the subject at hand?”

      I think the context that a lot of people seem to miss is that this default was never used in practice with a real Linux distro. So in effect it was never really an issue in the real world since the default was always changed.
      • jimktrains2 9y ago
        Then why provide a default at all? Especially one that isn't suppose to be used publically like google's?
        • jryan49 9y ago
          So systemd at least compiles without manual settings, and convention over configuration trends. It would be ideal if they just setup their own NTP server for the default though. I think from a practical perspective though the whole thing was blown out of proportion.
          • jimktrains2 9y ago
            It requires a configuration file to even compile? How's that work?

    Oh, they already warn for using the default: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/554 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/554 (which happen to be timeX.google.com)
