I experienced multiple times a glitch in ntp sync that resulted in setting the date to year 2080. This is a quick dirty fix to mitigate the issue and let the system run the sync again

It would be better to figure out why you are getting an unexpected date from ntp than hardcoding it here now.
In 26 years, it will be a problem for everyone if this is merged.
Hardcoding a lower limit is OK, as we are querying for the current datetime, and 2020 should hopefully never happen again.
