syncing delays #140

Closed obnoxiousish closed 2 years ago

hello not 100% sure what is causing but i see many many times messages will come in several minutes late to scli when my phone has got them perfectly and then when it finally gets them it can put them in the wrong position

The delay is probably an issue at the signal-cli level. You can try running signal-cli daemon and observe the incoming messages.

By "wrong position" do you mean like in #105?

I was having an issue with my system clock on my installation of Arch a few days ago that I recently fixed after I setup systemd-syncd or whatever as I can confirm now in timedatectl however I am not 100% sure the wrong position bug is fixed so I will report again if I am able to in the future.

However this synchronization is far greater then I initially thought, these delays syncing are so bad now it is basically unuseable for me I just installed signal-desktop because realtime instant msging isnt possible. If it is indeed a problem with signal-cli it would be super cool to see this project transition into using an actual library. If that is even possible or would fix the problem. Good luck with everything I hope I can give this another try in the near future.
