the NTP foundation (yeah the time thing) is begging for scraps of cash, like a few thousand dollars - a low level manager at amazon, google, apple and meta could each whip out the corp credit card, give them $5k each and problem solved, but no, they're too far up their own arse to do that

@decryption Donating $500 from my tiny company because it amuses me to be a better corporate citizen than companies that are orders of magnitude larger.

Daniel seems to make a go of it doing bespoke paid tech support and customization work, but i wonder how many big IoT/embed device makers would need custom NTP work done.
