A close-relative of the Y2K problem that was a hot issue 20 years ago. Now, for those of you who use software-based solutions such as the RasPi, there is a ticking time-bomb waiting for us on January 19, 2038. On that date, all software using 32-bit signed integers for the time will overflow. UNIX-based operating systems use Jan 01, 1970 as the first point in time. Jump forward about 2 billion seconds and you land in the year 2038. Not everything has migrated to 64-bit integers yet, so beware.
If you use NTP, which I do on a few clocks, there's trouble ahead in the year 2036. I'm confident that will get patched soon enough. An of course, there's the Y10K problem that will bare it's ugly teeth 7980 years from now.....but none of use will be there to worry about it. But I think one of my clocks will still show the correct time.... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
