Slightly off

Too bad my NSLU2 apparently does not have a battery inside…:

  1. Hm. Reminds me of my G3 B&W Macintosh that thought it was running in 1954 (under Linux/PPC) or 1970 (Mac OS X) when the battery drained.

  2. Hm. Let me guess… It’s January 1st, 1970? Hooray, we can live the 80s again!

  3. Yes, 1970, pretty much!

    When I set the clock, my Samba connections broke immediately, by the way. Probably a timeout. No wonder, after 36 years ;)

    Reminds me of my Mac, when the clock is off there, and I reset it via NTP, most of the time the screen saver pops on immediately…
