Mike Macgirvin (dev) on Nostr: First time I had a communication failure because of inaccurate timestamps was 1987. ...
First time I had a communication failure because of inaccurate timestamps was 1987. And thousands of times over the years. It became an epidemic around 2005 because of the rise of VMs. They have emulated hardware clocks in software and when they're loaded, they lose ticks. There have always been issues with Linux because they can't always decide if the hardware clock is GMT or localtime. You can be a stickler about it if you want, it's your legitimate communications you're dropping from people who have no idea there's a problem and many won't know what to do about if they did.
