[EN] Keeping Time - in Memoriam of David Mills (with Harlan Stenn)

English Edition: In this last episode of 2024 I want to remember David Mills and his work on the Network Time Protocol (NTP). The tool that keeps our machines in sync. David Mills worked closely with Harlan Stenn from the Network Time Foundation on NTP and I was very fortunate to grab some of Harlan's time to talk to him about NTP and David Mills' contribution. Some links (by far not an exhaustive list):https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ David Mills homepage at the Uni. of Delaware (which still exists). There are a lot of links to his work on NTPhttps://eecs.engin.umich.edu/stories/remembering-alum-david-mills-who-brought-the-internet-into-perfect-timehttps://www.ntp.org/ The Network Time Protocol homepage with tons of details and specifications on how it all workshttps://www.nwtime.org The Network Time Foundationhttps://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/database/brief/arch/arch.pdf a presentation on how NTP workshttps://www.nwtime.org/bio/harlan-stenn/ Harlan Stenn's Biohttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc778 I think this is the first RFC of the early version of NTP https://www.ntp.org/reflib/rfc/ This contains a list of all RFCs related to NTPThe sounds you're hearing are from Phill Niblock, musician, composer, artist and his recording you can get on the internet archive https://archive.org/details/phill-niblock-music-by-phill-niblock Get in touchThank you for listening!
