Make sure your time is properly set.

If the time offset is too large things like ntpdate might not work. Try setting manually. Also check date.

Most sbcs don't have something like an RTC module or a battery to keep date.

ok, but am new on armbian, how a set manually?

Since this is userspace any Debian or Ubuntu manual how to do that should work: https://www.google.com/search?q=debian+set+time+and+date

There is a major discrepancy.

This is what it ideally looks like'ish:

Interestingly the 3B seems to have some sort of rtc but I assume its worthless without a puffer battery connected. At least a connector for such is there.
