By the mid-2000s I started collecting some random lab sources, precision time gear, etc that I could find on eBay while in my professional life I was managing large scale telecom systems.
Small correction, crystals don't inherently vibrate at that frequency, crystals are just "electromechanical" clocks, their cut and size and mass determines the frequency, which is very stable, and they can be tuned to extreme accuracy and with electronics, that accuracy and stability can be turned into very good clocks and other frequency references. :) 32768hz was chosen because you can divide it in many ways by 2^n, so binary counting systems can keep track of a second by measuring 2^n ticks of that clock. :)
Yes you can get much more precise quartz oscillator chips. It’s just that 32mhz was fine for average consumer need. It also needs almost nothing in terms of power to keep this running (a compact watch battery can power them for up to a decade). Now once you go beyond about twice that temperature variation plays a major part. So you have Temperature Compensating Oscillator, and then above that you have Oven Temperature Control (the quartz crystal is maintained inside a small electric oven that keeps it at a stable temperature over ambient). Of course now you can get single chip cesium and rubidium oscillators too.
@@LogicalNiko yes, and temperature variations happen partly because temperature causes the size of the crystal to change, like anything else -> altering the tuning frequency. :)
@ yep and when you get really precise gravity effects become a factor. Just change the angle and you could watch the frequency swing. In theory you could use this to track small variations in local gravity and altitude, but that’s much easier with other instruments.
The USAF spent a week explaining Rubidium and Cesium clocks to me but this was way more fun. Watching you realize that your antenna needed to be outside or in clear view of the sky was pretty funny. Good stuff Chuck.
@@pazsion GPS signals are transmitted at only 50W (i.e. they are as "bright" as a commodity lightbulb) from more than 3000km away. A piece of sheet-metal reliably blocks the signal. And no, a GPS signal does not use cell towers in any way. Your device _might_ use them as _additional_ information, but not the GPS chip itself.
GPS antennae are active in that they have an amplifier built-in. They're powered by a dc bias voltage from the GPS board. Also, the GPS frequencies (GHz region) have a very high attenuation per meter of cable. Antennae height is irrelevant, they must have a clear view of the sky, the greater the better. Trees are bad. Clouds are bad. I used an OEM GPS uBlox module some 20 years ago for timing purposes. Cool stuff.
Slight correction on the quartz crystals. They resonate slightly differently based on the size of the crystal. We get them down to the size that is very useful to us. 32,768 is a very useful number for computing, as it is 2¹⁵. So we get the crystals measured precisely to a size that will resonate at a value useful to us
The history is interesting. It started with railways. That was a huge influence on Einstein, and you get a flavour as well from these sorts of set ups and syncing. How do you sync when the signals take time?
I love the breakdown of the video and how much depth was put into the details. I'm no GPS expert, but I have been in situations where time was off and systems did not connect. I have also been in situations where an antenna was not positioned properly to get timing. The funny thing is that most people think GPS is easily gained from inside a building because our phones seemingly work inside with GPS. Additionally, Hollywood often gets it wrong, putting people having Iridium (satellite) calls inside ships, underground, etc and the individuals having successful conversations, but then other times showing an Iridium phone NOT having signal when they are clearly in plain view of the sky. However, outside is critical, because the signal comes from space. The building can even stop the signal from being received if too close. A long cable is normal for a setup where you have an external GPS antenna. Overall this video is great and would be very useful for people to get an understanding of how critical time is.
This can't get better than this. I'm a broadcast final year student figuring out how to setup PTP with pi for AES67 streams and Viola!! here my fav youtube friend with the video
He is a UA-cam content creator, therefore has to string out his videos so they are long enough to contain multiple ads including the COMPULSORY NordVPN ad.....
Chuck's background is rooted in IT. If he's not dealt with System Time & Synchronization Issues, or RF/Microwave Signal Propagation, I suspect the GPS Signal Issues may simply be outside his 'wheelhouse.' Working in the Telecom Industry for the past +25-years, BITS Clocks & Synchronization is a daily concern for both voice & data traffic, across the network. If we loose our primary timing source (Stratum 1), which is typically our local GPS Receiver (with an outdoor antenna), we'll fallback to our secondary timing source (Stratum 2), which is a fiber-fed Signal from a remotely located Stratum 1 Timing Source. Suffice to say, these days Timing & Synchronization is crucial, for network elements to work in concert with one another. Free-running equipment will eventually lead to chaos in the Telecom & Data World.
The one thing that is more important than having accurate time is having synchronized time...that is, if you had to choose between having all your servers in perfect sync with each other or all but one on the correct time, choose in sync. This is because timestamps from various systems become important for log correlation. If all logs are out by a few seconds but all systems generating logs are in sync, you can correctly sequence your logs.
20 years ago I was running Stratum 1 servers in my data centers throughout the US for database cluster synchronization. Also, for data replication to my offshore data centers. They were very expensive. Its good to see tech has brought the size and cost down to the homelab.
Nice to see you discovered time protocols. My son and I started our NTP project right after we learned about using GPS hats on Raspberry PI's for robotics. It was so easy to build out a basic PI install and NTPsec and GPSd. My antenna is in the attic and the cable runs down into the basement to a splitter that feeds two Pi's, they are using PPS as primary source and then validating with two known good Stratum 1 servers. This provides the sanity needed for a known good time server. I have made on of the two servers public for IPv6 only though the NTP Pool projects with IPv6 only because with IPv4 you can get swamped with ISP that use CGNAT and send all their clients to one address the lock into. Have fun, the hole you dig will continue to go deep as you tune your solution.
I mean, there are people who make youtube videos of making their own ISP with old tech, so it's not fully out of the question this guy would do it. Although, I doubt this guy would though, since he only pushes garbage he was given for free.
I worked with a lot of stuff with precision time to the nanosecond level in the past. Everything you said is exactly right. We used it for air traffic control. Not just for timekeeping of all the flight positions data and comms but also to measure time against transponder replies to determine distance of aircraft from the receiver called MLAT or multilateration. It’s really interesting stuff. Awesome video!
I remember the famous lecture by Admiral (then Captain) Grace Murray Hopper where she handed out nanoseconds. It was a wire 11.8 inches long. That's the distance electricity travels in that amount of time.
Assuming you guys are here looking for the video that was taken down. It was just him bashing LTT for taking down their video about CompTIA A+ exam and nitpicking every statement Linus made as if he was personally offended while trying to sell his course on training material for the same A+ exam.😂
One of my mentors was at MIT working on tweaking the Kerberos Authentication Protocol as part of Project Athena - one of the issues was that authentication packets were time stamps and "drift" was an issue. As such there was a large window allowed - he suggested NTP, which was happening at U. Delaware at the same time. Syncing all nodes meant they could wind down the window, reducing the risk of decrypting the authentication packets. On the point of understanding a NanoSecond - Admiral Grace Hopper would hand out 11" bits of wire - this is how far an electrical impulse (or light) can travel in a nanosecond. LAter she would hand out the little restaurant paper packets of pepper - these were the same for a "picosecond". Early supercomputers (like the Crays) would have a spiral of etch on someboards, and you would tweak their timing by soldering a wire to some point on the spiral.
I've had 2 NTP servers on my home network for years. One is a little dedicated unit whose sole purpose is NTP, and the other is a RPi 3B+ with a GPS HAT that I put together to feed ADS-B data to the 3 major flight tracking websites. If those both fail, my NAS is built on an RPi 4 and has a high-accuracy real-time clock attached that can take over.
2:07 needs to be a little more specific. No quartz does not perfectly line up with a power of 2 frequency. It's close, but nowhere near close enough to be used as is. What is DOES do, is vibrate with a very high Q favtor reliably, and we can then cut the physical crystal to "tune" it exactly where we want it.
Been using your classes for a couple weeks but just saw you have an app now! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉! So awesome! Thanks for being you and helping me get through all this stuff without getting bored and falling asleep! 😂
My favorite subject. Time synchronization is immensely important in connected parallel computing - especially clouds and systolic arrays. Intel's latest chips finally support high precision time as do most high end network products. Think about it for a second (pun intended) - you have a bunch of nodes running in their own little time domain world. When they interact with eachother they start to have a sense of fluidity they "wish" to achieve. You want the independent requests and responses to be low latency and instantaneous. And yet every transaction is non-deterministic. For every node you add each interaction between the nodes exacerbates this meshing. Without an agreed time unification the software will spend (more like waste) time polling and responding with very low efficiency. You are not computing when you are asking for something to compute and waiting for a node to "get around" to it. Take that chaos and think of a time partitioned comb (for your hair) with teeth. At tooth #1 we all sync. At Slot #2 all look for global commands like reset. Slot #3 - Node #1 sends requests. Slot #4 - all respond to Node #1. etc. This is simple to prove a point. If you are not involved with Node #1 - you can ignore the slot and keep busy. The array of nodes because become synchro-meshed and message with minimal disruption. It is seriously game changing.
I’d love to learn more about this (systolic arrays and parallel computing) - have you got any good sources to start from? Thanks for the inspiring comment 🙂
A bit mad I wasn't able to post this in time in your hot take video about LTT taking Comptia A+ so I'm posting it here. Not an attack but I actually felt where that video came from. -------- Putting Linus' dramatic and exaggerated antics aside, I still think his points are valid. I'm from the Philippines and got my degree in IT here. What ticked me was Comptia "partnered" with some instructors and gaslight (mild exaggeration) you to taking it. They were suggesting that this is the way to get into a great employment. I mean I get that it definitely helps you become more marketable, but its not like THATS THE ONLY WAY to get in. I definitely felt their ways were predatory especially for students who is just about to graduate. We eventually didn't take it because it was too expensive. What usually happens then is most graduates went into freelancing and/or getting into more specific certifications in other areas of IT expertise which I think is a lot better.
He puts a lot of effort in picture it like it's near impossible or very hard to enter into IT without a certification, and i see a lot of that mindset in mostly all forums or videos about certs I think the first scene in LTT nailed that sentiment, and not everyone (obviously not NetworkChuck) noticed it
We've seen the first part of the history of time measurement. And my 9-year-old daughter was interested in it. We also thought about why time measurement should be accurate. thx alot!
I work with electrical protections for substations and power generation plants and time synchronization is veeeery important. Thank you for this video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Working with PTP in SMPTE 2110 and AES67 systems, a lot of systems use ptp4l. There is so much about the setup for PTP that wasn’t covered in this that’s very important. Things like the PTP domain is pretty cool. I would encourage anyone who find this interesting to look into PTP and its uses. Running PTP for your homelab or personal computer is wicked overkill.
Agree. There's a lot more to PTP. I work in the broadcast world with 2110 and PTP. Oh, the joy of getting everything sync'ed. Fortunately, I come from the world of SONET/DWDM so timing isn't anything new, but the distribution of time with PTP is definitely some crazy stuff. I thought the same thing after I watched this video. PTP in homelab is overkill.
FYI 10:30 - stratum 14 is the highest you can go in synchronised steps away from the true time source. Stratum 15 is on the list, however it's actually more of a "I'm configured for NTP but not actually synchronised to anything at the moment" status.
Me always watching all your videos and don’t even have a computer 🥲🥲 some day I’ll be working in cyber security I don’t know how but here is where I’m starting! Thanks for everything 🙌🏼🙌🏼
i been doing gps stuff and it can take up too 20 - 30 mins for a lock, now the cool thing is you have a warm start after getting that first signal. Next time you boot gps up it should be able to just get a lock.
Yes. Though the data gets stale after a while. My Garmin handheld GPSs will ask me to confirm if they haven't been used in a while so they can go looking for the sats where they are rather than where it thinks they should be.
Oh cool. I described a tech like this ten years ago to my friend. The goal is that all kinds of devices and recordings and things can be matched up for perfect multi angle recordings or reproduction.
remember back in highschool before everyone had mobile internet and all our cellphones did have a different time. like 5 minutes apart sometimes.. now all our phones just sync automatically
Network chuck is my favourite UA-camr, I am not even joking like every single day I wait for chuck to upload so I can watch it. thank you for making my day better
My alarm clock, my microwave, my stove, and the radio in my truck have no digital way to sync. So they are all typically within 2-3 minutes when I set them. Also several of the clocks end up slowing down as time goes on, but usually the power surges reset the clocks every few months so they get reset/updated that way.
From network engineer perspective, we have these cases when routers are loosing connection to hubs, and often it is simply because CMOS dies and server is using time as part of checking licences/credentials. So different time means server will refuse to recognise device and connection is down. Precise time is keeping entire internet up.
I was first exposed to this 12-13 years ago in a manufacturing plant. The site manufactured intravenous medications that were encapsulated in polymer designed to break down at a constant rate in human blood, guaranteeing a consistent therapeutic dose. Insane amounts of automation and monitoring. Losing 1 second of data could result in a loss of 7-8 figures. We used another product not mentioned here that used PTP under the hood to have microsecond latency but not nanosecond at that time.
RPi, GPS USB Dongle ($10), Chrony, instant time server. Have a couple for my HamNet portable, have a VM on home server (also fed by a $10 USB GPS). Easy-peasy.
@@timballam3675 How many homelab users need 'nanosecond' compatibility? Even PPS sync is 'extravagant' for most purposes. Nanosecond sync to a GPS source can vary across the reliability of the distance measurements alone, let alone thermal issues. If you really need to be that precise, you need a lot more equipment with a lot higher precision than a Pi (even a CM4) at a higher cost than $1000...
I have had a GPS HAT on a Pi for several years now, running as a stratum 1 NTP time server, with a stratum 2 on my router. I’ve looked at PTP several times but I always end when I look at other requirements. Most places say it requires network switches that support for PTP. Part of the PTP process is taking into consideration latency within the network and making connections based on latency.
@@CodesExplorer-hb1wr to summarize he was just pretending Linus made no valid criticisms, essentially saying Linus just wanted to cheat and that Comptia is perfect and absolutely necessary to get into IT.
UTC is an acronym that combines both the way coordinated universal time in english and french, which is why it's UTC. One of the few times that a wiki article gave me some good info.
When you get into digital communications on amateur radio time becomes very important, otherwise the delay in transmissions across the world will sometimes cause you to completely miss a transmission. Most of us end up downloading more accurate time sync software like dimension 4 and disableing the standard time sync in order to get accurate enough time to not have issues.
@@wpgspecb I've heard that the A+ cert was a joke which is why I was hesitant on taking the exam. Linus video was very helpful in deciding to never waste my time. I hope Linus makes part 2 calling out Network Shill.
Thanks Chuck! As always another great video!! OMG, I’m so onto this “Time Server” board! I actually collect various antique time pieces, and certainly “time” is my favorite mystical subjects. I’m building a “pretend” Time Machine, and certainly will need this device! ;)
Earlier this I went to the VLBI radio observatory in Oshu city Japan. One of the telescope used to create the first image of a black hole. I was able to enter the control and server room for the telescopes but the room holding the atomic clock there was the only one no access is allowed.
Great Scott! Edit: At 14:28 , maybe creating a pole stand for it.

I used to have 3*6 antennas up per clusters... All on a ceiling. I won't dive into the details but all I am going to tell you is, there's quite a bunch of hardware work needed. Cable loss to account for, amplifiers and things to put in place in case lighting hits your antenna. IF you decide to run a long cable and deploy that antenna on your roof I highly suggest you to get help from the company who's selling you the product and ask them to be HONEST with the full cost / install aspect. Companies deploying these aren't average joe's businesses and I constantly had to go on the data center roof to do inspection and maintenance despite redundancy. If you set this up without redundancy and a secondary solution you will very likely jinx a lot of business critical services...
"You might be wondering why UTC is the abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time. The acronym came about as a compromise between English and French speakers: Coordinated Universal Time would normally be abbreviated as CUT, and the French name, Temps Universel Coordonné, would be TUC. "
I believe France wanted it through Paris too so there was definitely some wrangling. The funny thing is, the line for UTC isn't even through where it's marked at Greenwich these days. Tom Scott and Stand up Maths have good videos about it.
18:27 "UTC" was decided on as the abbreviation by the International Astronomical Union folks at the time, because they wanted one single abbreviation to be used worldwide and UTC didn't "favour" or "align" with any specific language -- English-speaking nations would have obviously wanted CUT, while the French would have liked TUC for Temps Universel Coordonné. UTC was the compromise that avoided the alternative situation where "losing out" countries might have desired to translate the acronym into their own language, and also keeps the acronym consistent with other astronomical-based Universal Time measurements like UT0, UT1, UT2... I know way too much about this stuff for someone that is not in any way involved in the astronomy or time-keeping fields.
So this is super cool. Consider this: time is based on planetary movement, various rotations really. So accuracy may not necessarily come down to smaller and smaller fractions of time, but rather hitting a target where the timepiec's accuracy is perfectly nsync, like Justin Timberlake and uh.... Those other dudes, with the particular rotation for which you are currently interested in, ie a year being the time from the particular phase of one harvest to another or a second being a fraction of a fraction (the second fraction, which is why it called a second) of the 24 pieces of time that make up one rotation of the planet. Unless of course the earth is flat, then there is no time, only ice walls and leap frogging plane expeditions into a neverending frozen tundra!
Oh this is handy. I remember back when ntp was hacked. There are these old protocols and services where everyone was like, "it's just a matter of time." It happened. Freejacked. That historical attack was over 20 years ago, along with true lan hopping. Good ole days. Down the road, I bought a Vishera. AMD put their own clock on board which basically doubled precision. It took a special system config in Windows. That's when I got interested in timing performance. Ultimately, clocks are least path of resistance design, follow the bottlenecks. It's pretty cool to study. That Vishera FX-6300 still runs today at under 70F, thanks to Arctic MX under every heat sink and a Harley sized CoolerMaster.
Hey NetworkChuck! Big fan of you and your videos are absolutely amazing! I just want to ask one thing, with the help of which software did you create an absolutely banger website of yours? Please tell
I am really glad I watched this. Not only with computers but as a watch collector, now I am just that much more fascinated with the craftsmanship, the science it took to be created. Now wear and tear on the crystal itself is another thing. I wonder if the quartz crystal can be replaced? N

LOL. 3C2 Tech Control! I remember them FCC-100's and Promina's
he shouldnt need to since the signal penetrates, and triangulates between 3 or more satalites. and cell towers.

Just wait until the quantum chicanery clocks come out, even better than modern atomic clocks and they use nanokelvin atoms to do it.
@@pazsion GPS signals are transmitted at only 50W (i.e. they are as "bright" as a commodity lightbulb) from more than 3000km away. A piece of sheet-metal reliably blocks the signal.
And no, a GPS signal does not use cell towers in any way. Your device _might_ use them as _additional_ information, but not the GPS chip itself.
GPS antennae are active in that they have an amplifier built-in. They're powered by a dc bias voltage from the GPS board. Also, the GPS frequencies (GHz region) have a very high attenuation per meter of cable. Antennae height is irrelevant, they must have a clear view of the sky, the greater the better. Trees are bad. Clouds are bad. I used an OEM GPS uBlox module some 20 years ago for timing purposes. Cool stuff.
Slight correction on the quartz crystals. They resonate slightly differently based on the size of the crystal. We get them down to the size that is very useful to us. 32,768 is a very useful number for computing, as it is 2¹⁵. So we get the crystals measured precisely to a size that will resonate at a value useful to us
I was looking for this comment. Thanks!
this is blowing my mind rn
That history lesson was amazing
The history is interesting. It started with railways. That was a huge influence on Einstein, and you get a flavour as well from these sorts of set ups and syncing. How do you sync when the signals take time?
I love the breakdown of the video and how much depth was put into the details. I'm no GPS expert, but I have been in situations where time was off and systems did not connect. I have also been in situations where an antenna was not positioned properly to get timing.
The funny thing is that most people think GPS is easily gained from inside a building because our phones seemingly work inside with GPS. Additionally, Hollywood often gets it wrong, putting people having Iridium (satellite) calls inside ships, underground, etc and the individuals having successful conversations, but then other times showing an Iridium phone NOT having signal when they are clearly in plain view of the sky.
However, outside is critical, because the signal comes from space. The building can even stop the signal from being received if too close. A long cable is normal for a setup where you have an external GPS antenna.
Overall this video is great and would be very useful for people to get an understanding of how critical time is.
This can't get better than this. I'm a broadcast final year student figuring out how to setup PTP with pi for AES67 streams and Viola!! here my fav youtube friend with the video
Very interesting stuff! Thanks for sharing! The NTP Project folks appreciate you bringing attention to our work!
After 15 minutes and 3 commercials, he realizes he has to put the GPS antenna outside ????
Occasionally people get lucky and have a roof that doesn't totally destroy the signal, but that isn't always the case.
He is a UA-cam content creator, therefore has to string out his videos so they are long enough to contain multiple ads including the COMPULSORY NordVPN ad.....
Because he's an i_di*t.
Chuck's background is rooted in IT. If he's not dealt with System Time & Synchronization Issues, or RF/Microwave Signal Propagation, I suspect the GPS Signal Issues may simply be outside his 'wheelhouse.'
Working in the Telecom Industry for the past +25-years, BITS Clocks & Synchronization is a daily concern for both voice & data traffic, across the network. If we loose our primary timing source (Stratum 1), which is typically our local GPS Receiver (with an outdoor antenna), we'll fallback to our secondary timing source (Stratum 2), which is a fiber-fed Signal from a remotely located Stratum 1 Timing Source.
Suffice to say, these days Timing & Synchronization is crucial, for network elements to work in concert with one another. Free-running equipment will eventually lead to chaos in the Telecom & Data World.
block them all
Been on this channel for years and still enjoy the videos!
The one thing that is more important than having accurate time is having synchronized time...that is, if you had to choose between having all your servers in perfect sync with each other or all but one on the correct time, choose in sync. This is because timestamps from various systems become important for log correlation. If all logs are out by a few seconds but all systems generating logs are in sync, you can correctly sequence your logs.
20 years ago I was running Stratum 1 servers in my data centers throughout the US for database cluster synchronization. Also, for data replication to my offshore data centers. They were very expensive. Its good to see tech has brought the size and cost down to the homelab.
Nice to see you discovered time protocols. My son and I started our NTP project right after we learned about using GPS hats on Raspberry PI's for robotics. It was so easy to build out a basic PI install and NTPsec and GPSd. My antenna is in the attic and the cable runs down into the basement to a splitter that feeds two Pi's, they are using PPS as primary source and then validating with two known good Stratum 1 servers. This provides the sanity needed for a known good time server. I have made on of the two servers public for IPv6 only though the NTP Pool projects with IPv6 only because with IPv4 you can get swamped with ISP that use CGNAT and send all their clients to one address the lock into. Have fun, the hole you dig will continue to go deep as you tune your solution.
You didnt know about PTP???? wow... a little BEHIND THE TIMES!!!!
...thank you, i'm here all evening.
can't wait for the day when he says i want to host the whole internet myself
just a joke 😂😂
or is it??
I mean, there are people who make youtube videos of making their own ISP with old tech, so it's not fully out of the question this guy would do it. Although, I doubt this guy would though, since he only pushes garbage he was given for free.
@@NathanChambers You are kind of right
Damn, that's cool, I need one of the...
£1,187.85
I don't need one of these
I worked with a lot of stuff with precision time to the nanosecond level in the past. Everything you said is exactly right. We used it for air traffic control. Not just for timekeeping of all the flight positions data and comms but also to measure time against transponder replies to determine distance of aircraft from the receiver called MLAT or multilateration. It’s really interesting stuff. Awesome video!
I remember the famous lecture by Admiral (then Captain) Grace Murray Hopper where she handed out nanoseconds. It was a wire 11.8 inches long. That's the distance electricity travels in that amount of time.
By the way, the Navy put a version of it on UA-cam.
Not quite at the speed of light, it depends on the cable velocity factor.
The Navy cable velocity factor is why it took them a decade to get it on UA-cam! 😂
Assuming you guys are here looking for the video that was taken down. It was just him bashing LTT for taking down their video about CompTIA A+ exam and nitpicking every statement Linus made as if he was personally offended while trying to sell his course on training material for the same A+ exam.😂
I like NetworkChuck, but yeah this pretty much sums it up 😂
@@SirDonald Same but this was out of pocket for no reason lol
One of my mentors was at MIT working on tweaking the Kerberos Authentication Protocol as part of Project Athena - one of the issues was that authentication packets were time stamps and "drift" was an issue. As such there was a large window allowed - he suggested NTP, which was happening at U. Delaware at the same time. Syncing all nodes meant they could wind down the window, reducing the risk of decrypting the authentication packets.
On the point of understanding a NanoSecond - Admiral Grace Hopper would hand out 11" bits of wire - this is how far an electrical impulse (or light) can travel in a nanosecond. LAter she would hand out the little restaurant paper packets of pepper - these were the same for a "picosecond".
Early supercomputers (like the Crays) would have a spiral of etch on someboards, and you would tweak their timing by soldering a wire to some point on the spiral.
To the editor of the video: THANK YOU for taking out the coffee slurps!
Dude - you are now my favorite UA-camr, by virtue of having a Coffee Shop at home. That makes 2 of us forward (or at least caffeinated) thinkers 😂
Came for a networking lesson, stayed for the history on time. what a journey. Great content once again.
Time sync is also super important for live TV broadcast as well.
i don’t need a time server, i let my mom tell me the time
I've had 2 NTP servers on my home network for years. One is a little dedicated unit whose sole purpose is NTP, and the other is a RPi 3B+ with a GPS HAT that I put together to feed ADS-B data to the 3 major flight tracking websites. If those both fail, my NAS is built on an RPi 4 and has a high-accuracy real-time clock attached that can take over.
This guy is so ahead of the game, time travel in the rack
Also, it can take 10 minutes for the GPS to find the sats. The doppler shift means searching the frequency band can take a while.
2:07 needs to be a little more specific. No quartz does not perfectly line up with a power of 2 frequency. It's close, but nowhere near close enough to be used as is. What is DOES do, is vibrate with a very high Q favtor reliably, and we can then cut the physical crystal to "tune" it exactly where we want it.
true. he makes it sound like it is just a coincidence that quarz in general vibrates at this multiple of 2
Been using your classes for a couple weeks but just saw you have an app now! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉! So awesome! Thanks for being you and helping me get through all this stuff without getting bored and falling asleep! 😂
I used PTP when we were deploying 5G in our network. Base stations need nanosecond level precision for 5G to work. Nice video!
Ah man you’re videos are killing me, good thing I have more time now. Love it!!
Its so much important that somone finally explained the importance of time server
Can't wait to see the video about the disappearance of the video about the disappearance of the Linus video.
The only reason I clicked on this video. Linus had a much better video.
My favorite subject. Time synchronization is immensely important in connected parallel computing - especially clouds and systolic arrays. Intel's latest chips finally support high precision time as do most high end network products. Think about it for a second (pun intended) - you have a bunch of nodes running in their own little time domain world. When they interact with eachother they start to have a sense of fluidity they "wish" to achieve. You want the independent requests and responses to be low latency and instantaneous. And yet every transaction is non-deterministic. For every node you add each interaction between the nodes exacerbates this meshing. Without an agreed time unification the software will spend (more like waste) time polling and responding with very low efficiency. You are not computing when you are asking for something to compute and waiting for a node to "get around" to it. Take that chaos and think of a time partitioned comb (for your hair) with teeth. At tooth #1 we all sync. At Slot #2 all look for global commands like reset. Slot #3 - Node #1 sends requests. Slot #4 - all respond to Node #1. etc. This is simple to prove a point. If you are not involved with Node #1 - you can ignore the slot and keep busy. The array of nodes because become synchro-meshed and message with minimal disruption. It is seriously game changing.
I’d love to learn more about this (systolic arrays and parallel computing) - have you got any good sources to start from? Thanks for the inspiring comment 🙂
A bit mad I wasn't able to post this in time in your hot take video about LTT taking Comptia A+ so I'm posting it here. Not an attack but I actually felt where that video came from.
--------
Putting Linus' dramatic and exaggerated antics aside, I still think his points are valid. I'm from the Philippines and got my degree in IT here. What ticked me was Comptia "partnered" with some instructors and gaslight (mild exaggeration) you to taking it. They were suggesting that this is the way to get into a great employment. I mean I get that it definitely helps you become more marketable, but its not like THATS THE ONLY WAY to get in. I definitely felt their ways were predatory especially for students who is just about to graduate. We eventually didn't take it because it was too expensive. What usually happens then is most graduates went into freelancing and/or getting into more specific certifications in other areas of IT expertise which I think is a lot better.
NetworkChuck is a shill, thats what.
He puts a lot of effort in picture it like it's near impossible or very hard to enter into IT without a certification, and i see a lot of that mindset in mostly all forums or videos about certs
I think the first scene in LTT nailed that sentiment, and not everyone (obviously not NetworkChuck) noticed it
This is geeky to the nanosecond! Love it! Great video, keep doing amazing content
Wow you came to Japan!
Please come back, you are always welcome :)
We've seen the first part of the history of time measurement. And my 9-year-old daughter was interested in it. We also thought about why time measurement should be accurate. thx alot!
the 60 second history was so crazy good! do more of that frfr!
Dang it chuck! Why you gotta be so entertaining, inspiring and persuasive. I’m too poor for this (in all honesty your channel’s so fun! Subscribed!)
My dad loved pendulum style clocks. When asked why he was obsessed with them, he simply said, "It's about time." :)
这个视频绝对是我今年看过的最棒的！
Dang I learn a lot from this guy. My dad told what he knows about time.
I work with electrical protections for substations and power generation plants and time synchronization is veeeery important. Thank you for this video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Working with PTP in SMPTE 2110 and AES67 systems, a lot of systems use ptp4l.
There is so much about the setup for PTP that wasn’t covered in this that’s very important. Things like the PTP domain is pretty cool.
I would encourage anyone who find this interesting to look into PTP and its uses. Running PTP for your homelab or personal computer is wicked overkill.
Agree. There's a lot more to PTP. I work in the broadcast world with 2110 and PTP. Oh, the joy of getting everything sync'ed. Fortunately, I come from the world of SONET/DWDM so timing isn't anything new, but the distribution of time with PTP is definitely some crazy stuff. I thought the same thing after I watched this video. PTP in homelab is overkill.
That time history montage is crazy!
FYI 10:30 - stratum 14 is the highest you can go in synchronised steps away from the true time source. Stratum 15 is on the list, however it's actually more of a "I'm configured for NTP but not actually synchronised to anything at the moment" status.
Me always watching all your videos and don’t even have a computer 🥲🥲 some day I’ll be working in cyber security I don’t know how but here is where I’m starting! Thanks for everything 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I was in the middle of commenting on your LTT video before it became private 💀
NetworkChuck is a shill, thats what.
@@wpgspecbpls dude stop commenting this under every comment u don't know whether he is a shill or not
Chuck sensed that I had my junk together this morning so he decided to scramble my neurons with this.
That one in the box would be useful to put on a wall close to outside and the short antenna. Very educational video. Thanks.
i been doing gps stuff and it can take up too 20 - 30 mins for a lock, now the cool thing is you have a warm start after getting that first signal. Next time you boot gps up it should be able to just get a lock.
Yes. Though the data gets stale after a while. My Garmin handheld GPSs will ask me to confirm if they haven't been used in a while so they can go looking for the sats where they are rather than where it thinks they should be.
Oh cool. I described a tech like this ten years ago to my friend. The goal is that all kinds of devices and recordings and things can be matched up for perfect multi angle recordings or reproduction.
This solution is less expensive compared similar products on the market. Worth a look!
I'm getting my R.Pi tomorrow, cant wait to test it.
0:12 that makes so much sense (nano Second acuraccy??!?!? that like 0.000000001 seconds)
remember back in highschool before everyone had mobile internet and all our cellphones did have a different time. like 5 minutes apart sometimes.. now all our phones just sync automatically
fun video to watch but the price tag on that thing dayum son =))) £900 ouch
Yea, you can better connect to a stratum 1 time server.
@@attackhelicopter-up3dh i’ve recently built one for £100 so a bit of a difference
Network chuck is my favourite UA-camr, I am not even joking like every single day I wait for chuck to upload so I can watch it. thank you for making my day better
My alarm clock, my microwave, my stove, and the radio in my truck have no digital way to sync. So they are all typically within 2-3 minutes when I set them. Also several of the clocks end up slowing down as time goes on, but usually the power surges reset the clocks every few months so they get reset/updated that way.
Radio set alarm clocks are great. You don't have to do math first thing when you wake up.
From network engineer perspective, we have these cases when routers are loosing connection to hubs, and often it is simply because CMOS dies and server is using time as part of checking licences/credentials. So different time means server will refuse to recognise device and connection is down. Precise time is keeping entire internet up.
I was first exposed to this 12-13 years ago in a manufacturing plant. The site manufactured intravenous medications that were encapsulated in polymer designed to break down at a constant rate in human blood, guaranteeing a consistent therapeutic dose. Insane amounts of automation and monitoring. Losing 1 second of data could result in a loss of 7-8 figures. We used another product not mentioned here that used PTP under the hood to have microsecond latency but not nanosecond at that time.
RPi, GPS USB Dongle ($10), Chrony, instant time server. Have a couple for my HamNet portable, have a VM on home server (also fed by a $10 USB GPS). Easy-peasy.
The standard pi doesn't have the PPS input unlike the CM4 (this is broken out on the CM4 dev board) you also need a better GNSS board.
@@timballam3675 How many homelab users need 'nanosecond' compatibility? Even PPS sync is 'extravagant' for most purposes. Nanosecond sync to a GPS source can vary across the reliability of the distance measurements alone, let alone thermal issues. If you really need to be that precise, you need a lot more equipment with a lot higher precision than a Pi (even a CM4) at a higher cost than $1000...
I have had a GPS HAT on a Pi for several years now, running as a stratum 1 NTP time server, with a stratum 2 on my router.
I’ve looked at PTP several times but I always end when I look at other requirements. Most places say it requires network switches that support for PTP. Part of the PTP process is taking into consideration latency within the network and making connections based on latency.
I'm glad I was able to watch the video about Linus and CompTIA+ before it went down. But I wonder what happened
He was being criticized for shilling and not addressing Linus in good faith.
Can you tell me what he said because i couldn't watch it
@@CodesExplorer-hb1wr to summarize he was just pretending Linus made no valid criticisms, essentially saying Linus just wanted to cheat and that Comptia is perfect and absolutely necessary to get into IT.

UTC is an acronym that combines both the way coordinated universal time in english and french, which is why it's UTC. One of the few times that a wiki article gave me some good info.

Wtf i was about to watch that
What a weird thing
@@tjk_prince Be glad you didn't - it was painful, you would think Linus made an entire video bashing Chuck with how personal he took it.
When you get into digital communications on amateur radio time becomes very important, otherwise the delay in transmissions across the world will sometimes cause you to completely miss a transmission. Most of us end up downloading more accurate time sync software like dimension 4 and disableing the standard time sync in order to get accurate enough time to not have issues.
Where’s the LTT A+ video?
Hes a shill defending CompITA.
I never knew who he was until the A+ react video.Hes a shill.
@@wpgspecb I've heard that the A+ cert was a joke which is why I was hesitant on taking the exam. Linus video was very helpful in deciding to never waste my time. I hope Linus makes part 2 calling out Network Shill.

Thanks Chuck! As always another great video!! OMG, I’m so onto this “Time Server” board! I actually collect various antique time pieces, and certainly “time” is my favorite mystical subjects. I’m building a “pretend” Time Machine, and certainly will need this device! ;)
“I don’t need other satellites 📡, i need mine so let’s setup 😌”
I like the documentary like explanations for things, you should do it more with other protocols, networking things
Earlier this I went to the VLBI radio observatory in Oshu city Japan. One of the telescope used to create the first image of a black hole. I was able to enter the control and server room for the telescopes but the room holding the atomic clock there was the only one no access is allowed.
I was waiting for you to end the video with "See you next TIME"
How's it compare to the solution LTT channel showed where you put the atomic clock on a pcie card and use that to sync devices?

I used to have 3*6 antennas up per clusters... All on a ceiling. I won't dive into the details but all I am going to tell you is, there's quite a bunch of hardware work needed. Cable loss to account for, amplifiers and things to put in place in case lighting hits your antenna. IF you decide to run a long cable and deploy that antenna on your roof I highly suggest you to get help from the company who's selling you the product and ask them to be HONEST with the full cost / install aspect. Companies deploying these aren't average joe's businesses and I constantly had to go on the data center roof to do inspection and maintenance despite redundancy. If you set this up without redundancy and a secondary solution you will very likely jinx a lot of business critical services...
"You might be wondering why UTC is the abbreviation for Coordinated Universal Time. The acronym came about as a compromise between English and French speakers: Coordinated Universal Time would normally be abbreviated as CUT, and the French name, Temps Universel Coordonné, would be TUC. "
I believe France wanted it through Paris too so there was definitely some wrangling. The funny thing is, the line for UTC isn't even through where it's marked at Greenwich these days. Tom Scott and Stand up Maths have good videos about it.
18:27 "UTC" was decided on as the abbreviation by the International Astronomical Union folks at the time, because they wanted one single abbreviation to be used worldwide and UTC didn't "favour" or "align" with any specific language -- English-speaking nations would have obviously wanted CUT, while the French would have liked TUC for Temps Universel Coordonné. UTC was the compromise that avoided the alternative situation where "losing out" countries might have desired to translate the acronym into their own language, and also keeps the acronym consistent with other astronomical-based Universal Time measurements like UT0, UT1, UT2...
I know way too much about this stuff for someone that is not in any way involved in the astronomy or time-keeping fields.

So this is super cool. Consider this: time is based on planetary movement, various rotations really. So accuracy may not necessarily come down to smaller and smaller fractions of time, but rather hitting a target where the timepiec's accuracy is perfectly nsync, like Justin Timberlake and uh.... Those other dudes, with the particular rotation for which you are currently interested in, ie a year being the time from the particular phase of one harvest to another or a second being a fraction of a fraction (the second fraction, which is why it called a second) of the 24 pieces of time that make up one rotation of the planet. Unless of course the earth is flat, then there is no time, only ice walls and leap frogging plane expeditions into a neverending frozen tundra!

Does the magnetic antenna benefit from a ground plane?
Oh this is handy. I remember back when ntp was hacked. There are these old protocols and services where everyone was like, "it's just a matter of time." It happened. Freejacked. That historical attack was over 20 years ago, along with true lan hopping. Good ole days. Down the road, I bought a Vishera. AMD put their own clock on board which basically doubled precision. It took a special system config in Windows. That's when I got interested in timing performance. Ultimately, clocks are least path of resistance design, follow the bottlenecks. It's pretty cool to study. That Vishera FX-6300 still runs today at under 70F, thanks to Arctic MX under every heat sink and a Harley sized CoolerMaster.
Hey NetworkChuck! Big fan of you and your videos are absolutely amazing! I just want to ask one thing, with the help of which software did you create an absolutely banger website of yours?
