BEOZY2K38 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?
IT Horror Stories PodcastFunny how the greatest threat to civilization at the time turned out to be programming dates. And yet, not a single flying toaster apocalypse.
Turns out, much of the Y2K panic was way overblown—most of those doomsday stories didn’t even come close to reality. Hindsight really is 20/20.

How afraid did they get you for Y2K ?
openSUSE Linux#Y2K38 is the new #Y2K and #openSUSE developers are already finding real failures by advancing build clocks to 2038. #32-bit time assumptions are everywhere. 12 years to fix it. #Linux #OpenSource https://news.opensuse.org/2026/01/20/os-community-tackling-y2k38-epoch/
#Y2K38 isn’t just a 32-bit issue; 64-bit systems and common protocols like #SNMP and #SOAP are affected too. #openSUSE is leading early detection and mitigation efforts. Discuss on the Factory mailing list. #Linux #OpenSource https://news.opensuse.org/2026/01/20/os-community-tackling-y2k38-epoch/
Although we didn’t make it into the final article, we appreciate being referenced in the sources. The article of @murielvalin on #Y2k38 is well worth reading:

Freitag, der 13. bringt angeblich Pech. Vielleicht auch mit realen Auswirkungen.
Y2K38 bringt ziemlich sicher Probleme.
Wir haben den Zusammenhang gesucht – und tatsächlich einen gefunden 😉

Marco AllegrettiSome notes on Y2K38, time_t, and why “modern systems are safe” is an oversimplification.
It’s less about a single date in 2038, and more about how legacy assumptions around time still shape modern software.
The clock is ticking on #Y2K38. Even 64-bit systems aren't immune. #openSUSE developers are finding and fixing faulty date logic before it breaks everything. #Linux #OpenSource https://news.opensuse.org/2026/01/20/os-community-tackling-y2k38-epoch/
