Set the NTP server of your android device

Prologue

I wrote this answer on stackexchange, here: https://stackoverflow.com/posts/12597919/

It was wrongly deleted for containing "proprietary information" years later. I think that's bullshit so I am posting it here. Come at me.

The Question

Amazon is a SOA system with 100s of services (or so says Amazon Chief Technology Officer Werner Vogels). How do they handle build and release?

Login as root

$ sudo su

Install updates

$ apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Install Tomcat from the Ubuntu repository

Correct localization on Android 7

Prior to Android 7, the system had a single preferred locale, and fallback behavior was quite rudimentary. Starting with Android 7, the user can now specify a priority list of locales, and fallback behavior is improved.

However, in many cases it is still surprisingly difficult to make full use of locale fallback, and there are some hidden gotchas when trying to fully support both Android 7 and earlier versions.

Project Title

One Paragraph of project description goes here

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.
