my favorite part is that lennart would rather use servers he's expressly told to not use than just ask the ntp pool if they can use theirs even if they're not a "vendor" or "distribution"

it's okay to admit you made a wrong decision lennart, your whole reality won't come crumbling down

otoh developing software to use computer resources you've been told not to use is unethical if not illegal

yeah -- bit of cognitive dissonance required to ship software and then claim literally anyone else is responsible for using the default settings

no you see they're called vendor thingummies and if you look up "vendor" in the dictionary you'll see it clearly says etc ergo it's not even worth thinking about doing the obvious right thing qed

reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it?

Google didn't tell them not to use them, they said it isn't a good idea because they don't have any reliability guarantees and also keep Google time instead of UTC.

His response was:

1) systemd isn't a vendor and can't sign up for a NTP vendor pool, and all the vendors that build products using systemd have already registered their own NTP vendor pools and configured their systemd builds to use them
2) patches to the configure script to complain if you don't specify your own NTP pool servers would be applied
3) the Google NTP servers are good enough for regression tests and nobody's suggested a better alternative

but y'all can keep importing reddit drama for no reason

so what does the pool.ntp.org page mean when it says that vendor pools are suitable for anyone distributing software and that open source projects are particularly welcome to sign up for one?

hello gentlemen. while i dont normally evangelize for apple i would like to point out that apple osx 10.10 yosemite has hypervisor.framework, which is potentially a real 'game changer' in the industry. its not an exaggeration to say that osx is now the most advanced virtualization operating system

of course, apple can't do enterprise. only top notch quality assured software from microsoft and the cohesive, non-fractured peer-reviewed open source linux are acceptable in the enterprise environment.

lets look at the facts idiots

osx, today, comes out of the box with a robust virtualization framework. thats every mac with yosemite.

windows? who even knows what versions come with hyper-v? do you need windows server ultimate?

and linux well. lol. you have the choice of downloading a modified kernel with xen, and managing all its horrible deps. or kvm. or lxc. or docker. or rkt. or openvz. or.. well now you need to hire a fat stinky guy to manage it all

linux is great for embedded devices, servers and in VM instances that have the toolchains for them set up

shame about embedded toolchains always giving setup instructions for a ubuntu LTS instead of something that actually has long term support like rhel though
