One of my least-favourite facts is that these statements are misleading. Since Linux uses UTC and not TAI, it no longer tracks an absolute measurement of seconds since the unix epoch as it takes “leap seconds” in to account. As well, because of leap-seconds you can absolutely have time-travelling events. https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2015/06/01/five-different-ways-handle-leap-seconds-ntp https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2015/06/01/five-different...
