That sounds interestingly interdisciplinary! I do like things that require one to use more than one part of the brain.
Also people using timelord makes me happy.

It is! Working for a small company means you wear many hats!
Great! Although I've only got it working on Mac OS9. It's not working on the Quadra using either 7.1, 7.5.3, 7.6 and 8.1. I've not yet looked into why. Timelord is running on two Linux boxes with Netatalk v2. One via Docker and the other manually installed. During boot the Quadra beeps when the Tardis extension loads. When you select it in Chooser I can switch between the two Linux servers. I assume everything else is installed correctly as I can mount the AFP share from the Quadra.
Ahh. Searching the forums tells me I need to thank you for Timelord/Tardis! I promise I'll get it working

Meh, I just fixed a couple of bugs in the time server bit - but it's enough to make me feel like I've been useful when other people use it

Why bother with just one OS to settle on?
Pick & choose as you see fit.
Mac OS 8.1 does give you access to HFS+ volumes, if that makes a difference.
As a default, I would take the earliest/lowest OS that runs the software you want to run.
Would I embarrass myself too much if I say that the only reason it was not working for me is that I'd not specified a TZ in the setup ;-)Meh, I just fixed a couple of bugs in the time server bit - but it's enough to make me feel like I've been useful when other people use it
No, not at all. Nobody can do time zones and everyone forgets to specify them. That's just the normal human condition, I'm afraid...
It must be really tough with the different start/stop times for DST in different countries as well.
this is why we should all be very grateful for the tz database, a piece of nearly invisible infrastructure that underlies nearly all the automatic stuff that deals with time zones out there and is pretty much maintained by one person who I'm pretty sure deserves more cake than he gets
