I found a blog post about Millisecond accurate Chrony NTP with a USB GPS for $12 USD.
Wow! I’ve had an interest in NTP since about 1994, when I had to prove that a system my (somewhat shady) employers were selling to an NSA cut-out could synchronize to an NTP server.
As I’ve written before, now that I’ve retired, I can devote time to my hobbies. I’ve set up a “home lab”, what we home computer enthusiasts call our computer and router setups. This is different than gamer’s “rigs”, in that a “server” is required, and it’s not allowed to have disturbingly-illuminated keyboards and cases. The aesthetic is completely different.
We often try to emulate corporate data centers by purchasing depreciated business-class machines from refurbishers.
Here’s my homelab:
