Y2K38 kommt. Milliarden Systeme sind betroffen.

Open Source wird kritisiert – dabei entstehen die Lösungen oft genau dort.

Das Problem ist nicht der Code.
Das Problem ist, wie wir damit umgehen.

👉 Wer zahlt am Ende die Rechnung?

Le bug de l'an 2038

New utime32_t and utimeval32 types have been defined in the system headers in #OracleSolaris 11.4.90 for places where binary compatibility forces a 32-bit time value, but unsigned values can be used to represent times from 1970-2106 instead of the traditional signed 32-bit range of 1901-2038.

The bufmod(4m) interface was modified to use these, allowing snoop(8) to become #Y2038 safe (though still destined to fail in 2106). snoop also became a 64-bit program in this release.

Waiting for serious attention to the Y2038 problem to be blamed for causing autism in computers, related to idiots refusing to vaccinate their pets again rabies.

Indeed the #Y2038 problem was with us in 2008 in the case of 30-year mortgages.

Deep Lore: The Time Traveller Looking for a “Portable Mainframe” Who Freaked Out the Early Internet

In the early days of message boards and dial-up, a stranger showed up claiming to be a soldier from 2036—on a mission to retrieve an IBM 5100 “portable” computer. He didn’t just drop a prophecy and vanish. He argued, explained, posted technical details… and built one of the internet’s most enduring modern legends.
