 @2d6fed24 @9983d143 Nice article, thank you!  Also a lot of stratum 1 NTP servers use GPS as their clock source (rather than an atomic clock) so it's fundamental to a lot of what happens online, even if those services themselves don't directly care about time.

 @2d6fed24 are there other types of data that piggyback on GPS?
