Happy 1,700,000,000 UNIX timestamp!
@cynthia время крайне условное понятие

@cynthia This broke Samba's testsuite.

No jobs will pass CI any more.

15520 – sid_strings test broken by unix epoch > 1700000000

@cynthia @molly0xfff Somewhere I have screenshots from when it turned 1234567890.
@cynthia @molly0xfff 2038 is coming. Be proactive, panic now. Avoid the rush!

@cynthia Dang! Too late by 14,861 seconds!

@cynthia cam someone elaborate? I have a daughter obsessed about numbers, I'd love to tell her about it...
@helenajambor @cynthia it’s been 17000000000 seconds since Jan 1, 1970. That date is the “epoch” of Unix time, which a lot of computers use to store a datetime efficiently (computers understand numbers better and easier than year-month-date-hour-minute-second). It’s like the 0AD of computers.

@helenajambor @cynthia time is measured in seconds that have elapsed since the 1st of January 1970, she was celebrating the 1.7 billionth - you can see where we are on sites like this

on Friday the 15th of January 2027 at 08:00:00am UTC, if you're up and about, you'll be able to celebrate 1.8 billion!
