Oh that looks useful. Perhaps I can set slew for all time, since I don't expect my servers to ever be offline. On 21/05/2015 1:13 AM, Domen Kožar wrote: Running ntp with slew flag -x should give you same results as Google does. To test a leap second before 30. June:

Yeah, leap second(s) are a big issue since that's the code that nobody really tests. NixOS is going to have as much problems as the software you're running has bugs. Google is smart here, they're adding microseconds over a longer span of time via their NTP, so the extra second doesn't disrupt any
