"What kind is it?" I asked.
"Ten-o-clock."
I didn't even take off my coat. I'll be going now.

A conversation between three old codgers:
"It sure is windy today."
"No, it's Thursday!"
"I'm thirsty, too. Let's get a beer!"
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

2021-10-25 09:27:09,303:INFO:certbot._internal.renewal:Non-interactive renewal: random delay of 127.96103202454884 seconds Another example of ridiculous precision, particularly seeing the server that logged it would have trouble telling one nanosecond from the next...

Unless it's to do with stock trading?

In 1 pS light would travel 0.3 mm. I'm certain that even stock trading computers aren't positioned with that sort of accuracy.

It's certbot renewing my letsencrypt host certificate. Runs every few weeks...

I think certbot is just using a standard[^] protocol with the NTP timestamp[^]. Just wait until you see the upcoming NTPv4[^] with femtosecond resolution.

I also get a smile from the geodetic calculations where the legally specified formulae extend to subatomic dimensions.
For example, see section 4.1 of GDA2020 Technical Manual v1.7 | Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping[^] You'd need to do a LOT of back and forth conversions to accumulate rounding errors approaching the claimed millimetre accuracy of the whole thing. But, hey, double precision numbers are cheap.

Heh,
Strange that you would bring this up. I worked extensively with GeoTrans for about 4 years back in the early 2000's when it was written in the C++ language. NGA rewrote it in Java many years later. I was working on vessel navigation and dynamic positioning software at the time.
The software is unclassified and available to the public if you want to play around with it:

But some day, we may have servers with clock cycles in the attosecond* range. Think of it as "future proofing".

Or someone using an int (128), and then a float.

I think he's referring to the RandomizedDelaySec setting in /etc/systemd/system/certbot.timer which would be a NTP timestamp[^] difference. I'm not a Linux guy so maybe I'm misunderstanding.

What is your point ?

When you post something here, make it readable.

I've been coding GFX, which got its start as basically a personal project that I wasn't really serious about, other than releasing it as a curiosity. At first.
It has grown up, and it's being used now.
I have a single master branch. I don't have release branches or even tagged releases because i never bothered.
Now I need to run CI/CD from this stuff for a number of reasons, and this just isn't going to work with what I have going on right now.
The trouble is, I've not only never built out CI/CD stuff, I've never had to build a complex real-world github repro from the ground up before, and I'm realizing I'm out of my element. I guess I have been spoiled when working on already existing projects.
Today I'm running on fumes, so I'm not going to attack this right now. It's all incredibly overwhelming to me.
I'm at the point where I'd pay someone to consult with me on this, and maybe help me set up my repro better.

I would get yourself a deployment engineer, aka CI/CD Engineer. We have them at my shop and they are indispensable. You can get them on contract.
good luck.
