chaos what time is it?

2026-10-02T14:55:41.663814095Z

raw clock: 2026-10-02T14:55:41.711299251Z
synchronised with osau.re:123

This page is served by a unikernel which disciplines its own clock with chaos, an NTP implementation in OCaml inspired by chrony. It never trusts the hardware clock (the raw time): it continuously asks the NTP server osau.re:123 for the time, estimates the offset and the drift of its own oscillator and serves you the cooked (corrected) time. The page refreshes itself every 10 seconds.
