[time-nuts] Nutty time-nuttery with WWVB

[Clint Jay]

I thought the same at first, but then I thought a little more, it may not
be time nut standards of accuracy but...

It's possible to buy ESP8266 modules for a couple of pounds, they will run
NTP, if you want to go up market then a Pi Zero.

Hooked up to a cheap DS1307 module or one of the higher stability ones,
then your choice of display, cheap SPI TFT, retro VFD or Nixies, you could
build an NTP synchronised clock for under £10.

Rolling it yourself like that would allow you to negate the security risks
associated with IoT as you'd have control of the security aspects.
