Also "they 100% deal with consumer workstations or networking" is false. Please don't misrepresent my question. I think it's unreasonable that the 'rules' are worded in such a vague way that Universities are considered to be in "business", but an actual business can be rejected. But - I'll let it go at this point. There's a certain elitist mentality here that is very off-putting. If you'd read past the words "Raspberry Pi" in my question, you'd see that it's an interesting issue - but I'm wasting my breath. Thanks for the civil reply, at the very least - unlike the moderator.

I read discussion here over use of the RPi. The RPi is running Debian, this is a network question unrelated to being on a "consumer" connection or "home" network. Does a $5 DO instance have a hardware GPS with antenna? Good luck running a Stratum One timeserver on DO. There are many questions here on SF that are just beginner questions, but because they ask their question without providing details, they get a pass. The hostile attitude of the moderator is an issue. Funnily enough, my RPi on "home" network is more reliable than some "business" hosting providers I've dealt with.

As I replied to HBruijn, I did not simply repost the question, I edited it to clearly describe in detail that this is being used within scope.

I did not simply repost the question as a new one. I updated it in detail to describe the use case.
