sudo date -s "$(wget -qSO- --max-redirect=0 duckduckgo.com 2>&1 | grep Date: | cut -d' ' -f5-8)Z"

Source: Stack Exchange

is a workaround.

man date

Output:

       -s, --set=STRING
              set time described by STRING

man wget

Output:

...
       -O file
       --output-document=file
           The documents will not be written to the appropriate files, but all
           will be concatenated together and written to file.  If - is used as
           file, documents will be printed to standard output, disabling  link
           conversion.  (Use ./- to print to a file literally named -.)

           Use of -O is not intended to mean simply "use the name file instead
           of  the  one  in  the  URL;"  rather,  it  is  analogous  to  shell
           redirection: wget -O file http://foo is intended to work like  wget
           -O - http://foo > file; file will be truncated immediately, and all
           downloaded content will be written there.

           For  this  reason,  -N (for timestamp-checking) is not supported in
           combination with -O: since file is always newly  created,  it  will
           always  have a very new timestamp. A warning will be issued if this
           combination is used.

           Similarly, using -r or -p with -O may not work as you expect:  Wget
           won't  just  download  the first file to file and then download the
           rest to their normal names: all downloaded content will  be  placed
           in file. This was disabled in version 1.11, but has been reinstated
           (with  a  warning)  in  1.11.2,  as there are some cases where this
           behavior can actually have some use.

           A combination with -nc is only accepted if the  given  output  file
           does not exist.

           Note  that a combination with -k is only permitted when downloading
           a single document, as  in  that  case  it  will  just  convert  all
           relative URIs to external ones; -k makes no sense for multiple URIs
           when  they're all being downloaded to a single file; -k can be used
           only when the output is a regular file.
...
       -S
       --server-response
           Print the headers sent by HTTP servers and responses  sent  by  FTP
           servers.
...
       -q
       --quiet
           Turn off Wget's output.
...

Does not seem related to secure boot as seems to have the issue on both states, related to Benjamin-Loison/cinnamon/issues/178 and Benjamin-Loison/obs-studio/issues/24.

Let us verify if Ubuntu and Windows also face the issue, let us update them as I do not regularly use them.
Have to reboot them to be accurate I would say.
Unlocking session may help. Waiting Internet access may be appropriate.

No issue on Ubuntu.
Face the same issue on Windows but may have BitLocker recovery bias, as have disabled secure boot I guess.

Maybe will have to dig BIOS.

Should try to firmware update from Debian or Ubuntu.

To be able to investigate when the time shift occurs, let us add to crontab:

# [Benjamin_Loison/linux/issues/27](https://gitea.lemnoslife.com/Benjamin_Loison/linux/issues/27)
* * * * * date +%s >> date.txt

should then make an algorithm to detect significant shift.

How to be notified in real-time when the issue happens? Could leverage an always running server notifying if notice an offset of more than half an hour. This should not lead to false alarms as the time on resuming from suspension should be correct as tested but it happens sometimes to be incorrect.

Can somehow get time of motherboard, see Wikipedia: Real-time clock? Which should be stable without OS change.
