I've never used chrony, but that looks good at first glance.
root@mkspi:/etc# date

its 10:35 here, still 3 hours off.
The time is *correct*, it's just being reported for a different time
zone than you want.
So here on coyote: date -u:
Mon Dec 4 15:47:44 UTC 2023
but on mkspi: date -u:
Mon 04 Dec 2023 03:47:16 PM UTC
Again, both correct.
WTH? Where is that false 12 hour offset coming from?
There is no 12 hour offset. One is being reported in 24-hour time, and
the other in 12-hour time (it says "PM"), because of different locale
definitions.
All you need to do is change your system's default time zone, which on
Debian involves changing the *file* /etc/timezone and the *symlink*
/etc/localtime. Both are required, because some programs use one and
some use the other.
We've said this in like 3 other emails so far.
True, but I don't recall /etc/localtime until today. I thank you again.
