Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/428

I installed v0.4.11 and added new URLs from my Pinboard export:

$ archivebox add < ~/library/conf/pinboard.json
[i] [2020-08-07 10:13:29] ArchiveBox v0.4.11: archivebox add < /dev/stdin
    > /home/pigmonkey/tmp/bookmarks

[+] [2020-08-07 17:15:07] Adding 860 links to index (crawl depth=0)...
    > Saved verbatim input to sources/1596820507-import.txt
    > Parsed 860 URLs from input (Generic JSON)
    > Found 5 new URLs not already in index

...

The first timestamp (10:13:29) is in my system's localtime. The second timestamp (17:57:07) is not, in fact, 7 hours later. It is 2 minutes later, but in UTC.

I don't have a strong preference for which of the two timezones ArchiveBox should use in its output, but I do have a strong preference for consistency. Indicating the offset for whichever timezone is used would also be great.

@pigmonkey try on the latest master version I think we've fixed it to be UTC everywhere.

git checkout master
git pull
pip install .
cd path/to/data/dir
archivebox add https://example.com/#test2

Yes, that fixed it. The timestamps are all UTC now in v0.4.14. Thanks!
