fake-hwclock is just plain silly, by design it sets the OS time to a known wrong state with the premise that it's a better than nothing choice. Funny the further down the rabbit hole I go the more I see that I don't like. Such as debian setting NTPD or timesyncd to use debian.pool.ntp.org ntp servers. I certainly don't trust their list of rotating servers to all be accurate. Always set systems to use known highly available servers I trust. It's a jungle out there a minimum you need, Belt, Suspenders, and of course a good quality Tin Foil Hat.
