I guess we're doing dark mode today.

Yeah, I turned on the camera and I turned on the call.

And I just saw Brad lit only by the light screen of what I assume is a light mode monitor.

See, I've got a Google Doc.

Okay, because as we have well documented, Google Docs does not have a dark mode.

So I'm staring at our list of questions in this giant white browser window. Check this out. Oh, wow. That's a dark tab. Oh, hello. There's no lighting in this room other than from these monitors because it's like seven in the morning here. There's one strand of fairy lights in the background behind you.

Yeah, true.

Yes.

I haven't.

I didn't do my hair yet.

You're wearing a V-neck white t-shirt. The white V-neck t-shirt that I slept in. Straight out of bed. You've got travel coming up, business travel. And so our recording schedule is a bit wonkier than usual. Yeah, we haven't had to do it early, early in a long time.

Like 7 a long time.

Like 7 a.m. used to be our go-to-do during the pandemic when I was working at Straybombay and had like a full-time nine to five job. But yeah, we haven't done it this early in a minute. But it's, you know, anytime is podcast time. All I need is a microphone and a. That's right. well I I guess a microphone. Last night, there was a fun moment last night because we did the patron episode late last night and you commented as we were, as we were shutting down, you commented that you got to see how off our clocks were because you surmised that all the lights in this office room went off for me at one time and you surmised that they were all on a smart timer which they are you were able to see we're able to see how to offset our clocks are by

watching my lights go off yeah either my windows clock hasn't updated in a minute or yours your

pie or whatever's running your cameras is is is off by about 10 seconds so yeah well there's I mean there's, I mean, there's, well, there's got to be some amount of latency there, not that much. I have a, I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running home assistant. Yeah. So I guess it's going by whatever time that pie is pulling through NTP. And then what's the latency to the smart plugs? That's got to be measured in dozens of milliseconds at most, right? It's funny. I actually don't know how often my Raspberry Pi, my home assistant Raspberry Pi updates time. I assume it does it daily. Probably not more than that. Well, you're on what, Home System OS? Like you're on the, like the all in one, like the integrated image. Yeah, I'm running a yellow. So it's whatever your NTP facility on that Linux install is set to query at.

Yeah. like the all in one, like the integrated image. Yeah, I'm running a yellow. But it's whatever your NTP facility on that Linux install is set to query at. Yeah, I haven't touched it. So I wonder what their default is. Because it's like time matters for that stuff. Not to just merge this podcast with the dual boot diaries entirely. But I did hear you, I did hear you say the word time date CTL on that podcast recently, which. Yeah, I did the way that you said not to do. I think means that you're using system D time sync D to manage NTPs. So we could probably find out what the query interval is for that. That's on my desktop on the pie. It's a whole different thing because the pies manage. I don't, I don't ever, I don't think I've ever logged into a terminal into a shell on the pie. There's a very good chance that are using time sync D on the home system OS as well, because that's kind of the standard built-in system D way to do it on most distros these days. Yeah, I wonder if they're based on Raspberry PiOS or whatever they call it now. Probably, I don't know, actually. That's a whole other topic. Like distros for Raspberry Pi's is his own topic because... Really is. There's like, like Abuu has an official Raspberry Pi image. I think Fedora might. There's probably actually quite a few these days, but I really still like running the official Raspberry Pi OS just because it seems like the most tailored to the hardware.

It, yeah, it just has a Linux-based OS.

I wonder if they rolled some of them from scratch.

Oh, it's not based on a regular Linux distro like Ubuntu.

It's been using BuildRoot and is optimized to run home assistant.

Yeah, they go. They did roll their own.

That's cool.
