    I’m not sure why you think any digital device shouldn’t know what time it is. It’s not leaking any kind of personal information, just literal facts about reality.

    My challenge isn’t about NTP but about printer shouldn’t be able to communicate with the internet, as it has no need for it.

    You said: It’s common.

    Okay, cool. So is cancer.

    does not need to be able to talk to the internet at all, just to your router (or designated NTP server if you’re into that)

    Exactly! So why allow the printer to go past it!

    Anything that connects to the network needs a synchronized clock with other devices it directly communicates with in order to make sure it’s not being subjected to timing attacks

    Please explain what kind of timing attacks because what you wrote doesn’t make sense in the context of a damn printer.

    Server? Sure. Printer? Why can it even access public internet?











  • You seem to be a very novice programmer.

    how do I setup my dev environment

    ? Google that? Use a devcontainer? I mean literally a question answered thousands of times.

    where should I start

    Setting up your dev environment. Then maybe create a few projects for you to test your package manager empirically?

    do I invent my own pkg format or do I use pre built packages like deb or rpm?

    Depends on what you want to do. I’m honestly not sure how to help you here? What kind of answer are you fishing for here?
