    Happy new year anyway....

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    Are you using an NTP server that smeared it?

    This is openSUSE 42.2 with default settings.

    ntp wasn't configured in YaST, but the time was within about a second of my phone and hasn't noticeably changed when I did configure it (ie.pool.ntp.org) will have to wait for the next leap second to see. I've definitely seen "60" appear as a leap second before...

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.
