Would you kiss a monkey though? From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Monday, February 12, 2024 5:48 PM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT 2038 Linux
Had to look that up, but yes. But from a less selfish standpoint, with all the stuff going on in the world right now, it seems like there are bigger problems that need solving between now and 2038. If my kids are still around in 2038 (and apes or cockroaches or space aliens don’t rule the world), I hope the worst problem they face is whether Linux has a date rollover problem. Rather than being like Charlton Heston shouting you bastards, you finally did it, you blew it up!

"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." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
