What is the advantage of self hosting an NTP server?
After all, it just tells time
Knowing the time is pretty important to (networked) computers
It's for making your computers clocks be very, very close to each other. Not milliseconds close, but nano seconds. That is more important than one might think, especially for networks.
I'm going to have something similar at home at some point, just need to make a few more cable runs so one GPS can see the sky (= more accurate)
