NTP can be configured to do it: https://docs.ntpsec.org/latest/leapsmear.html https://docs.ntpsec.org/latest/leapsmear.html
Support for this is growing more popular with time, rather than less.
- AstralStorm 7y agoThis is because the "cure" of a leap second is worse than disease. How about we use actual correct seconds instead and get rid of the whole business?
- steerablesafe 7y agoI would be happy if computer clocks wouldn't be changed on leap seconds, just stick to TAI instead of UTC. We don't reset clocks/dates on DST and leap days, so why do we bother with leap seconds?

- steerablesafe 7y agoWell, not computer clocks, they just run on UTC. Displayed clocks are adjusted with the appropriate time zone selected for them.
