🔄⏰ Oh, the horror! Keeping clocks in sync is the stuff of engineers' nightmares—who knew "what time is it?" could spark a crisis of global proportions? 🌍💥 Forget world peace, let's figure out how to make clocks in different time zones agree with each other—it's like trying to herd cats! 😹📅

Keep the system clock synchronized with network time to prevent time-based correlation attacks.

@tails For example, I do want to preconfigure some basics like @torproject #Bridges and settings like "use Port 890 & 443 only" which #TorBrowser allows me to do, but #Tails doesn't.

Or at least they don't allow me to just change a config file on the #PersistentStorage to do so.

Worse: I can't even do a single #ClockSync via #NTP without having a #Tor connection up and running, which is really bricking stuff.
