On a Linux/POSIX system, the “system timezone” doesn’t really mean very
much. Every user, every process can operate in its own time zone.
You’ll notice one difference between the systemd journal and the older
text-based syslog is that, in the former, all timestamps are recorded
in UTC, not “local” time.
