Introduction

On offline systems it makes sense to disable sdwdate and bootclockrandomization since it's not needed in offline VMs and can interfere with Two-factor authentication 2FA.

Instructions

1. Disable networking.

  • If a VM, remove its network interface or its virtual network cable.
  • If a physical computer, remove its networking hardware if possible. Do not connect a LAN cable and turn off WiFi.

2. Disable sdwdate.

3. Disable bootclockrandomization.
