Setting time on PI3 "now" from NTP and tweaking the drift

General Discussion

Also 32-bit vs 64-bit may make a difference. I just started my RPi Zero W after searching for it a few minutes … so small it was hidden below some other SBC-related stuff :sweat_smile:.

6 MiB (3rd value RES(ident memory) in KiB) right after fresh start :thinking:. I have /etc/systemd/timesync.conf removed, i.e. defaults, i.e. debian.pool.ntp.org, switching to another pool does not change memory usage here, but cannot test with a local NTP server here.

I have the RTC chip and option 4 in place now… not seemed to upset the Pi3 so will leave like that. time always bang on when I check now. The RTC chip is cheap and easy to setup so a happy solution for me.

ran htop it showed this:

Guess that is good enough on a PI not doing much else.
