ntpdate is deprecating, so replace it with ntpd #505

From the Gentoo Wiki:

ntp-client utilizes the deprecated ntpdate and is not recommended as a long term solution. Use ntpd and sntp instead.

The Gentoo wiki recommends synchronizing time by running ntpd -q -g

Some useful links: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ntp#Ntp-client https://support.ntp.org/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdate

Also, the Gentoo wiki asserts:

If ntpd is already running in daemon mode, it will automatically exit when attempting to be manually run from the commandline.

So using ntpd should be a robust solution :thinking: :thinking:
