Makes perfect sense. Will setup ntpd, thanks.

Just wanted to say I managed to build this and get it running on my

Thanks! Much appreciated!
To set my hardware clock to the system's time on shutdown, do I need
to create a .service file or does systemd do this already? Not a
massive deal as I have a sysv script doing it at the moment but
would
be good to know. Thanks.
So the idea here is that if NTP is enabled the kernel will sync the
RTC
anyway every 11min hence doing this at shutdown is hardly necessary.
And
during runtime we have little reason to believe that changing the RTC
on
every shutdown does any good for its accuracy or even that the system
clock was any more accurate than the RTC. Instead, we think that if
people change the clock by hand it should be the responsibility of
the
tool they use to sync the clock down into the RTC. The "timedated"
bus
mechanism we include makes sure of that.
I hope this makes sense!
