Happy #HexadecimalUnixNewYear!

The current year is now #069yr.
#06Ayr will begin on May 10th.

In celebration, I shall ramble about hexadecimal, as if I had invited you over for a large dinner with my family and I got drunk and neglected to ascertain your consent to the imposition of my ideology before loudly expounding that you can just use your terminal to translate hexadecimal values to the typically-decimal unix time thusly:

dc -e '16i 06A 1000000* Ao p'

It's almost the #HexadecimalUnixNewYear in #hexunixtime. The current year is #068yr, going into #069yr on (--rfc3339=seconds) 2025-10-27 23:28:00+00:00

check yourself! in your (linux) terminal (with GNU coreutils date 9.6) you can do this:

dc -e '16i 069 1000000* Ao p'

which should return the unix time of 069yr in decimal: 1761607680,
and then

date --rfc-3339=seconds --utc -d @1761607680

will give you the above date, when unix time in hexadecimal rolls over to

dc -e '1761607680 16o p'
