What the Raspberry Pi time-server guides get wrong on a Pi 4, with the measurements. The headline artifact is a four-line pps-gpio patch: PREEMPT_RT force-threads IRQ handlers, and pps-gpio takes its timestamp inside its handler, so the realtime kernel puts a scheduler between the electrical edge and the clock. IRQF_NO_THREAD takes RMS offset from 2468 ns to 199 ns. - kernel/ the patch - dashboard/ live status page (position hidden by default) - docs-site/ the write-up (Astro/Starlight, brass, no tutorial section)

// This site is a FIELD REPORT, not a tutorial. The build guides already exist
|
|
// (geerlingguy/time-pi, josh-blake/pixie) and they're good. What doesn't exist
|
|
// is a record of everything they get wrong on a Pi 4, with numbers. So the IA is
|
|
// deliberately inverted from the usual docs site: heavy on Explanation and
|
|
// Reference, and there is no Tutorial section at all.
|
|
//
|
|
// Telemetry + devToolbar off per project convention. The HMR block is required
|
|
// when the dev server runs behind Caddy (TLS-terminating proxy) — without an
|
|
// explicit host/protocol/clientPort, Vite's WebSocket drops every ~10s.
|
|
//
|
|
// Site URL comes from DOMAIN so one image serves both cuckoo.warehack.ing (prod)
|
|
// and cuckoo.l.warehack.ing (local dev).
