+\section{NTP Installation}
+As I already use a Linux-based operating system on my personal laptop, I first attempted to run \mintinline{shell}{ntpq} without installing anything, assuming it would be installed;
+to my surprise, Arch Linux is so minimalist that it doesn't even come with the \mintinline{shell}{ntpd} package by default and I had to install it myself!
+That explains why my system clock has always been two minutes behind for the past few years!
+After installing \mintinline{shell}{ntpd} and enabling the daemon, and watching my system clock slowly speed up until it matched UTC, I checked that it was working properly by running \mintinline{shell}{ntpq -p} a few times:
