Hi, We should likely change the link in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Parts/Installation/Tools#Suggested:_Time_synchronization for NTP away from the Gentoo article to a general wikipedia one if we are no longer recommending the package. It's not been fit for purpose since the article was split into two in 2017.
You can paste the contents of https://paste.gentoo.zip/1lsxiyAh over the article to fix the issue.
