Something crazy happening with puppylinux forum in my device

Post by user1234 »

I logged in to puppy linux forum with my mobile phone today and checked my profile with it. I don't know if it is a bug or not, hence I am posting it in off-topic area.

(Check the last active time and time that is now being showed in my phone)

@user1234 are you a time traveler? Have you seen any DeLorean automobiles with strange customization's?

It seems you've some how bent the space time continuum.

(which means in plain text I will look into how that works with the last visit time stamp!)

rockedge is the forum administrator.

Give him time to look into the issue.

He is still finding little things needing tweaking.

I never worry about this time displayed thing.
It has no affect on using the forum.

You sure the time reported by your phone is correct?

I just check my profile.
The last active time seems correct in reference to my computer displayed time.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

Yes, this time thing is important. It strikes back to a post where I raised the concern about having a local consistency while having its own 'local' consistency coordinated accurately with the real-world atomic clock. This way all local operations operate in the local central maintainer whose job it is to report the time all local units are to source from, while the local central takes responsibility to insure it is synchronized with the world clock.

its the way, in business industry we have done things for 60 years since the advent of LANs.

All of the world's cell phones, today, sync with the world clock taking the time element away from the user. Thus, if there is a "TRUST" to be believed, it is that the PUP forum clock needs to update more often guaranteeing a sync for world's users. In other words, cell phone users do NOT get to set the time or change it; time is sourced from the world clock for the time zone the phone is in.

At least it is something to be reviewed on how best to keep its clock in sync with the world clock.

P.S. I discovered this in my home LAN month ago which led to my posting on the forum. Thanks to @step I am now using a Home central Time server function that all local PC use to sync home's time. The Central Home NTP server syncs each hour and all local PCs sync at startup or every 12 hours with the home central NTP. This intends that all local operations have the same time events no matter if the write/reads occur on the local PC, at the NAS or on my cell phones with information it may generate or use.

Coordinated time is VERY important for several important reasons.
