It drives me nuts that the time on this website is off from every other clock.

Down at the bottom of each page it says All times are GMT -4. The time now is xx:xx PM.

Now, I am surrounded by clocks. My PC's, my cel phone, and a host of other sources.

They are all in agreement pertaining the to hour, but the time on the board is 5 minutes off.

Can you fix that Robert?

Huh?
How does a time setting of UTC account for a 5 minute differential.
Not 5 hours.
5 minutes.
Don't feel bad JD.
You are not alone.
Around the same time as that little bugaboo appeared, I could no longer view videos of any sort on the site.
Big black screens.
Locked out.
I can post them, just can't view/listen to them.

Does it really matter if the clock is ahead or behind?

out of step is out of step !!
But I appreciate the humour in indirectly saying...

We really can't fix it... like it or lump it.

I believe that issue is because of a Windows 10 update from a few months ago.
Had the same problem, had to poke around deep in Windows settings and all is fine now.

oh wait a minute. I noticed recently that I also have black box when someone posts a video. I checked my settings and couldn't find anything wrong. So the "little bugaboo" has something to do with why I can no longer view videos on dr1?

It's a pain but if someone posts a video I have to switch to a different browser and then I can view the video. Not sure when it first happened, maybe within the past few weeks or month...……….

Read your post after I posted above post. Any remembrance of what you did in Windows to fix the problem?

Absolutely none...Gave my IT guy(aka the eldest mobster) a beer and asked him to figure it out.
Will try and get an answer for you, though.

Never noticed it but to set (adjust) server time from the command line:
date +%T -s "hh:mm:ss"
