Tweede Golf with Folkert de Vries

Episode notes

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a cornerstone of the internet. It provides accurate time synchronization on millions of devices, but its C-based implementation, which dates back to the 1980s, is showing its age. In this episode, we talk to Folkert de Vries, Systems Software Engineer at Tweede Golf, about their work on reimplementing NTP in Rust as part of Project Pendulum . ntpd-rs is an open-source implementation of the Network Time Protocol, completely written in Rust with the goal of creating a modern, memory-safe implementation of the NTP protocol. Funding for the project came from the Internet Security Research Group and the Sovereign Tech Fund .
