    Yeah, you would’ve thought it would work that way. Regrettably, the standard timezone code of Etc/GMT+4 is actually GMT-4. Wikipedia

      According to NIST, Eastern Time is UTC-4. And currently it is 5:04pm EDT, and in London (a city in GMT/UTC+0) it is 10:04pm. Which is 5 hours ahead (because America is dumb and has daylight savings).

      Which is also backed up by your article. Americas/Indianapolis is the one I normally use since I’m in Indiana.
