Someone knowledgeable has probably analysed this properly already, but guessing it's no coincidence that the Telstra GPS time server rolled back to Nov 2006 and there are 1024 weeks between 22 Nov 2006 and 8 Jul 2026...

@projectgus@aus.social what I posted to another group > I suspect they did firmware updates and it looked all ok until the system ran out of NTP servers that did actually have stratum 1 time > My guess is that the GPS receivers and NTP servers handled the roll over correctly, however the firmware update, or firmware update process reset the eeprom which was tracking the dynamic roll over status
