When I turn off my computer and take it somewhere and turn it back on,
the time is wrong. I think this is because my RTC battery is
malfunctioning. After I boot, ntpd updates the time, and this breaks
SOMETHING, I don't know what.

Clock Unsynchronized

Shepherd then hangs and becomes unresponsive to all commands, and the
fan spins up. I lose the ability to shut down and must kill the device
with REISUB.
