I noticed that signing in to Mastodon using 2FA didn't reliably work. Turns out my system clock was ~30 seconds behind that of the actual time (currently GMT +1 for me).
On Linux distributions that have systemd, systemd apparently synchronises your system time with a time server automatically. However, I use Devuan (i.e. Debian but without systemd) so I had to do it manually.
I used htpdate to set the time to a UK time server on pool.ntp.org like this:
sudo htpdate uk.pool.ntp.org
No need to reboot. It's now accurate to GMT+1 to within about half a second. :)
