A good read on NTP and NTS. www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2026-... If you are still using timesyncd and trust that systemd has you covered, don't. Seems Chrony is the best option these days.

I really could use suggestions on how I can get Visionati out to a larger audience. If you have a little bandwidth to help, let me know. There are just way too many scammy people out there that claim to do marketing work.

Looking forward to seeing where Farcaster goes from here. Sad to see @v and @dwr move on, but it seems Farcaster will be on a new path! Good luck to the new team, and may you find success. =)
