On newer systemd-based systems you can just use timedatectl -- I find
this does everything I need it to do. Although I think on RHEL/CentOS
systems timedatectl is just set start chrony, or something like this.

Hi all,
As part of both Munge and SLURM, time synchronised servers are necessary.
I keep finding chrony installed and running and ntpd stopped. I turn
chrony off and restart/enable ntpd but every CentOS point update it
seems to flip.
From what I've read ntpd is better for always on devices, and chrony's
been created for devices with a more intermittent access to a time
server/the internet.
What are people's thoughts and what are people using?

"The antidote to apocalypticism is *apocalyptic civics*. Apocalyptic
civics is the insistence that we cannot ignore the truth, nor should we
panic about it. It is a shared consciousness that our institutions have
failed and our ecosystem is collapsing, yet we are still here — and we
are creative agents who can shape our destinies. Apocalyptic civics is
the conviction that the only way out is through, and the only way
through is together. "
