Someone explain to me why the system clock is a signed integer?
We need the IPV6 version of the system clock.
Also please note that David Mills; the inventor of NTP passed away
January 17, 2024. He was known as "Father Time".

"The latest time which can be represented like this is 03:14:07 UTC on
January 19, 2038," said Zimmie. "Once the timer is incremented from
this second, the value 'overflows' and goes from being a large
positive number to being a large negative number. The next second this
counter can represent is 20:45:52 UTC on December 13, 1901. This is
called the Year 2038 Problem."
