@johnson. Once again, thank you for your efforts which I am now finding very beneficial. The stats graphing has been helpful to an unanticipated extent. I have discovered all sorts of annoying problems with upstream SNRM going up and down like a yo-yo.
My apologies, I had just completely forgotten about the customcmds build having already had such a feature. This is a very serious problem for me, short term and medium memory being totally shot because of illness plus various powerful drugs. It often leads me to ask questions more than once, or to lose track of where things are. I can still write code on a good day, but even on the best days such performance is severely curtailed. Support from certain kitizens when I have been stuck due to lack of concentration or disorientation has been extremely helpful to me.
To answer your question about setting the time right. You’re correct that it’s hardly vital, but I am guilty of perfectionism in respect of small details that don’t matter, I suspect, and I set myself a little challenge, that I would try and fix the time or get dns working if it was not too hard.
And of course I could just convert times by adding an offset.
I have succeeded in getting the time correct with NTP anyway by redirects provided by my Firebrick router. So that challenge is completed.
