Even the author acknowledges that when they say:
It’s easy to fire up Chrony against a local GPS-backed time source and see it claim to be within X nanoseconds of GPS, but it’s tricky to figure out if Chrony is right or not.
- Dylan16807 1y agoThe thing is, any offset or jitter that can't be picked up over the network is irrelevant to what the author is trying to accomplish. And if it can be picked up over the network, I don't see why Chrony is the wrong thing to measure with. "system time as distorted by getting it to/from the network" is exactly what is supposed to be measured here.
