There is a small discrepancy between relative times calculated by php and js.
Why?
I used round in js and I think the php uses floor (even though I thought I changed it to match, but maybe I changed and then reverted the change in order to ask for opinions and then I forgot to ask lol).

So: what do you prefer? floor or round?

I think round is a bit more precise but I really don't care that much..

I'd think floor is generally used in the php code, not sure why .. maybe since it will tend to drive values away from one another to show a delta sooner?  Or maybe I'm just making stuff up ... I'd pick the one that you have to change the fewest of

Thinking about the errors when the user offset is wrong, there is to consider that is most likely wrong for guests too, so I think we should send out a "representation" of the server time and use that to calculate the relative times via javascript.

That one should be now solved.
