-wireless dropping out on ntp server. I need to document this, I found my raspberry Pi Zero, that is using the official Raspberry Pi Wireless Dongle drops off the wireless network after around a week. Only a reboot gets it back (as I have no keyb/mouse connected) so I figured just using Cron to reboot the thing every 24 hours will be a suitable work around.
