Hi guys, i discovered that timesyncd takes close to 40 seconds to complete during boot. I already switched to local ntp server within my network but still it takes 40 seconds ```nohighlight root@DietPiVM1:~# journalctl -u systemd-timesyncd -- Logs begin at Tue 2020-01-07 23:07:35 CET, end at Tue 2020-01-07 23:09:04 CET. -- Jan 07 23:07:39 DietPiVM1 systemd[1]: Starting Network Time Synchronization...

If I restart the service later on, it will finish quite fast ```nohighlight Jan 07 23:09:03 DietPiVM1 systemd[1]: Starting Network Time Synchronization...
