How are timestamps managed in NodeBB?

[truetuna]

I might be missing something but does NodeBB do something extra to timestamps? I'm trying to convert the "lastonline" timestamp to a datetime:

~/w/nodebb ❯❯❯ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> HGETALL user:1
...
13) "lastonline"
14) "1447135877476"
...

but I end up getting something like the above.

If I remove the last 3 digits, I get something a bit closer to the real time.

Time is hard . Can anyone explain what's going on?

JavaScript Date Objects return timestamps in milliseconds, so you have to crop the last 3 digits for examining the unix timestamp (which you want to get for the converter you seem to use).

Yeah we store the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch.
