// negateLocalOffset helps negate the offset of time generation

// that was sent as it handles it as a UTC value, even though when
// using starttime it is generated as your local time
// eg 2020-01-01 12:00:00 +10 will convert into
// 2020-01-01 12:00:00 +00 when at RPCServer
// so this function will minus the offset from the local sent time
// to allow for proper use at RPCServer
