That's fair! Before using an existing solution, I like to understand how it works to make sure I will not get bad surprises: being able to reverse and debug using assembly code can be a helpful skill, and likewise for understanding DNS

There are many HN users who are opposed to LLM. Some of them are fundamentalists, and no amount of reason will reach them (read the comments on the Ghibli-style images to get a sample), others are opposed for very self-interested reasons: &

Another suggestion: when you want to save power, use irq affinity with /proc/irq/$irq/smp_affinity_list to put them all on one core. This core will get to sleep less than the others. You can also use the CPU "geomet

You make very good points, but I think they come from a difference in expectations. For time sync, what you do depends on what you need: there's a long list of option: rdate, sntp, ntp, ptp and I have used all of them. Even if rdate is
