This is a pretty boring bug. Is the subtext of the post that any bug ESR finds and writes up justify his team's hostile fork of NTP? NTP is, as he says, a "hairball", but it's that architecturally, and "NTPsec" isn't changing that, but instead mostly just changing who gets compensated for working on it.
Probably, I haven't really seen much other value so far in their fork. I would love to see more effort go into PHK's ntimed.
Maybe I'm wrong about this, but: the irony is that after forking the NTP codebase and taking funding to push that fork, ESR and his team have started making noises about a rewrite in a different language, making the NTPsec project seemingly just an elaborate, nasty troll on the original NTP maintainers.
Yes, plus a reminder that this is hard work that not just anybody can do so you should be grateful to him.
This title made me laugh out loud.
Novel is worth reading, if you haven't!
It really is an incredible novel. I read quite a bit, and this is one that left a impression on me (and it's been at least a decade since I read it)
