Kerberos and SSL require no more than a 5 minute deviation. This is gonna be fun. Though I guess as long as everyone is synchronized or pulling from the same source it doesn’t matter. What’s an hour between friends.

    Kerberos and SSL don't care if the earth is in the correct position (reasonably or otherwise) relative to the sun and/or planets. Clocks being in sync with the physical planet is irrelevant. They are still gonna be just as in sync globally along each other with sub-second precision as always (sub-ms precision in many cases).

    Being up to an hour off will start having a noticeable impact on sunset/sunrise, but for some reason we fuck with that twice a year by an hour anyway so who cares I guess?
