Yes, but then you wont have permanent snapshots, I very much recommend
using venti, among other reasons because even in case of your fossil
getting corrupted (which is not unheard of, specially if you run out
of space), you can always restore the last snap from venti.

Yes, see fossilcons(8), in particular the snaptime command, but you
probably should read the whole man page to get a better idea of how
things work.
