Y'all want to see one of the top 10 stupidest things I've ever seen in my life on @Windows?
I spent most of the day trying to figure out why my geth node, running in #Docker on #WSL2, wasn't syncing with the network. The hint was that I kept getting notifications that my system time was off. So, I started looking at my system time.
At first time.is was telling me that my system time was behind by about .03 seconds. So I started looking at fixing that. I got that fixed, and https://t.co/qS58GnOaXB said my time was exact. But I was still getting the message, and geth still wasn't syncing.
So I exec'd into the container and looked at its date...it was behind by ~20 seconds. I thought, how can that possibly be? There's no way to set it in the container...and docker should get the time from my host...
Turns out #WSL2 time synchronization is just stupid
