Thats a pretty uncharitable take on what Poettering said. IMO hes right that in many cases you dont want to hold up booting on whether or not time has been synced. I dont want my desktop, or most servers to not boot if the network or NTP s

The rise of VPNs signals to me that we as an industry have given up on end to end encryption. Instead VPNs try to encrypt the "first hop" with the assumption or hope that the networks further down the line are "secure" B
