At the time of the log entry below, (Oct 10-11 2022) it was daylight savings time (DST) in eastern time zone. DST ends Nov 6, 2022.
EDT is UTC-4 (daylight savings time).
EST is UTC-5 (standard time).
My host log has an entry:
11.10.2022---02:33:36:992 116 73.[ip] Incoming ID connection from IP: 73.[ip]
That's
Oct 11 2:33am UTC.
Since at time of log entry it was EDT that should be -4 meaning:
Oct 10 10:33pm EDT (previous day since the conversion crosses the day boundary)
But this entry was really created at the following time. I know because I remember and have other logs:
Oct 10 9:33pm EDT (ie
9pm rather than
10pm)
So it seems like RUT is not logging the time based on a current read of UTC, but rather doing a strict "+5" off "eastern time" to convert to UTC. I admit, this is speculation on my part. But the math appears to be off. Unless I'm missing something.
I note that in Windows 10 settings, the setting is for time zone is "UTC-05:00 eastern time". It does not distinguish between daylight savings time or not in this setting. There's a separate "adjust for daylight savings time automatically." Maybe RUT has to mimic this setting itself. I don't know--I'm speculating.
