I've begun to get a lot of these "resetting system time due to time lag by more than 10 minutes..." messages. Never seen them prior to V3.0. What do they mean and why do they mean it?
The message was to help find a problem where the system time would drift off on some machines. It will automatically reset the time (that's what the message is saying). I thought this was resolved for V3... but apparently there are still some systems that see it.

No. Your machine is fine. It's just an internal problem in the system time plugin, but one which I still can't explain. The problem seems to be more evident on some machines, but there's nothing wrong with the clock on the machine.
It's not a new problem with V3, there's just a message now that states the issue and it will even correct the time when it detects the issue. I just haven't found what's actually causing the issue. In looking at the code, the condition seems impossible.... but it's obviously not.
I noticed this message appearing when the HouseBot machine was awakening from hibernation. Not sure if this is the only case, but that is the only time I have seen it.
If it came out of hibernation, I would expect to see the message. Depending on your setup, it may not be a great idea to allow the machine that the HouseBot server is running on to hibernate. If there are tasks that were to execute at specific times, they may get missed if the machine is sleeping.
