alt Hacker NewsThe disater plan is to have a few dozens stratum 1 servers spread around the world, each connected to a distinct primary atomic clock, so that a catastrophic disaster needs to take down the global internet itself for all servers to become unreachable.
The failure of a single such server is far from a disaster.

For those of us near Boulder, it's urgent.
But the stratum 1 time servers can shrug and route around the damage.
