There was something recently in the IT news about a problem with NTP servers, someone hacked the master server or something like that. NTP works a bit like DNS, so if the root server has a problem all the others follow.

Not sure if this was your problem, but the solution was something like (perhaps) choose a different NTP server and (definitely) restart NTP - does this help?

Might need to explicitly run it from the command line once to get it to sync if it's really out, using a "don't worry what diff" flag setting. Apologies for the vagueness, bit late for me to look it up properly :-D

The NTP server in my home stopped working, the above is what I saw when I
queried it.  Why would this happen?

I don't think it was non-functional for 83 days, but then I don't generally
check it that often and the system had 98 days of uptime.

I've just rebooted it (so debugging the process state won't be possible).
There was a new kernel to install.
