In a reply to https://imgur.com/rOtGOgH i found a relevant sticker in my collection (Source: found on chaos events in germany).
To explain the joke: Like the year 2k bug in windows, Older Linux version and software that uses the 32 bit Unix time goes only till 01/19/2038 (19.01.2038 for europeans) 03:14:07. So while most systems already fixed the issue, there is still software in the wild that uses 32 bit Unix time and that may cause issues in 14 years.

Reminder: Turn your computer off. Go outside. Retreat from society. Live in the woods. Become the cryptid you were meant to be.

Oooh I forgot this one for my doomsday calendar.

i am kind of afraid to ask but: how full is your calendar?
cousteau
Well, we already got world wide plague in the early 20s, was expecting World War 3 for the early 30s (but by the looks of it it might get earlier), energy crisis in the 40s, climate crisis in the 50s. AI overtaking humanity may happen before or after that. But maybe that and Y2K38 cancel each other.

When's the next one after that?

Well, the end of 9999 is another one.

64 bit Unix time will last 584 billion years

So about 579 billion years after the sun explodes, good to know

Thanks! I'll put it in my calendar just in case society has not fallen by then.

No need. This one's a lock

4-8 years is my bet, but I'm not putting in for a pool because it'll never pay out regardless.
