How to Use Linux Server Network Time Protocol with Chrony

Episode 95 gets into the weeds of Linux server time synchronization using Chrony instead of the older NTP daemon. Lucas and Luna walk through why accurate time matters more than most sysadmins think — from certificate validation to log correlation to distributed database consistency. They cover the key differences between Chrony and ntpd, how to configure multiple time sources, how to check synchronization status with chronyc, and a common gotcha with virtual machines and hardware clock drift. The episode includes a real-world example of a three-node server cluster that fell out of sync by 200 milliseconds and the cascading failures that followed. Practical commands and config snippets throughout. No fluff, just the stuff you need to keep your server clocks honest.
