This is much more efficient than me forwarding messages. Fair. Meanwhile… turns out installing util-linux-extra brings back hwclock, and then the laptop’s clocktime, after a full power cycle, is only about two seconds off, which reduces that problem (for if others have the same problem). bye, //mirabilos -- 15:41⎜<Lo-lan-do:#fusionforge> Somebody write a testsuite for helloworld :-)
