we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
it's a trick question. there's no need to set the clock because if you're using linux your time is worthless

a nice thing i can say for linux is that i have at no point past like year 2000 have i had reason to learn how ntp is set up. this is also true of windows granted, but i am pleased either way, i have no expectation of anything just working for decades.
