A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Will your lunar server have the UTC or LTC clock?
I'm trying to understand the use case.
Day + night on the Luna have length of ~ 30 days.
Time moves at a different speed due to the moon's reduced gravity. It's not just the length of a day.
I'd assume that's already a bigger problem for satellites in geostationary orbit then?
Yes, but at least there they still use "Earth time", just slowed down. For the moon it gets a little bit more complicated I guess.
