I've been running weewx for years, and now all of a sudden I am having this problem over and over again.
Now, this is a new build on this same RPI - I had a SSD crash - but it seems substantially the same as before, yet here I am. I realize this has to do with the OS's time not being.... "correct", whatever that means. So why does this confuse me? pi@pi3b:~ $ wee_device --info | grep time Onboard time: 2020-12-27 17:37:04 pi@pi3b:~ $ date Sun 27 Dec 2020 05:37:09 PM PST Is this really the cause of my problems?
