ndg release v0.6.0 introduced a mechanism in which LND TLS cert is
regenerated if ndg's HTTP client refuses to initialize TLS certs bundle
in https://git.qcode.ch/nakamochi/ndg/commit/b57ebacd
in most cases, it is due to outdated cert's notAfter.
however, because raspberry pi cannot preserve current system time,
it starts from year 1969 and the TLS client init fails.
the latter leads to ndg forcing LND to regenerate the certs to no avail
because the system time isn't syncronized yet.
simple solution: wait to start LND service until the system clock is in
sync.
a bugfix release. one notable change is the default CLTV delay increase
from 40 to 80 blocks, or equivalently from ~7 hours to ~13 hours.
this is a more conservative default time lock which can help to avoid
unnecessary force closures due to persistent mempool backlog or node downtime.
