Clock drifts constantly on macOS because fedora's pool is unavailable
Describe the bug The clock in the underlying VM on macOS drifts. Even over this weekend, it drifted nearly 2 mins.
Steps to reproduce
Start finch on macOS, run a long running container. Wait a couple of days. Run date and see it is no longer accurate
Expected behavior I expect sub-second accuracy of the VM's clock.
Screenshots or logs Sample logs on the VM:

Additional context
Replacing the fedora pool in /etc/chrony.conf with: pool time.aws.com iburst and running sudo service chronyd force-reload might fix the problem (it certainly synced the clock this morning, but only time will tell).
