Unix zählt Sekunden.
GPS zählt Wochen.
DVB zählt Tage.

Drei unterschiedliche Zeitmodelle.
Drei unterschiedliche Standards.
Und wieder taucht 2038 auf.

Neuer kurzer Blog über den DVB-Zeit-Rollover und Modified Julian Date.

@maol I jist know the day discrete logarithms get broken, hell will be let loose!

  • I just hope this will be a running joke like #Y2K and not a mess like #Y2K38…

🧵 2/n that's actually on my #BucketList; survive #Y2K38, see what happens! 🤣 That should be well within my #Millennial life expectancy. 😉 ...barely a decade, and a few

Edit: (double-checking) of course, i've created a reminder, already! 🤣 👀 img alt txt

#Y2K38 will be considered a hoax, because competent "computer people" will have implemented mitigations, just in time, just like in #Y2K, when the computers didn't crash, in spite of all the hype. 🖖🤓

There's a new reason to migrate your device to 64-bit architecture, if you haven't already, and this is a hard limit: 32-bit time will run out at precisely 20380119T031407Z. It's Y2K for 32-bit architecture. After that, it'll probably wrap back around to 19700101T000000Z, maybe... I dunno. :-)

Conversely, 64-bit time will last us until somewhere on 292277026-12-31.

Vor 20 Jahren trat der erste bekannte Y2K38-Bug in Produktion auf.

Beim Open-Source-Webserver AOLserver führte „jetzt + 1 Milliarde Sekunden“ erstmals über die 32-Bit-Zeitgrenze hinaus. Verbindungen liefen sofort ab, Timer kippten, Scheduler blockierten.

Das Jahr-2038-Problem war damit nicht mehr theoretisch.

Und 20 Jahre später ist es noch immer nicht gelöst.

Let’s settle a classic, lighthearted developer debate: 🧑‍💻🔥

Do you prefer software that is opinionated (forces you to do things "the right way" like Django) or unopinionated (gives you total freedom but leaves you to build the architecture like Flask/FastAPI)?

Freedom vs. Structure. Where do you stand? 👇

The terrifying split-second when:

You type a powerful command in the terminal, hit Enter, and immediately realize you forgot to check which directory you were actually in. 🏃‍♂️💨💨

Heart rate: 180 BPM.

Always pwd before you regret. 🐧
