20000 forum users - Awesome Special Event!

Interesting. Hopefully we’ll all be alive and well to witness the fall of the 32-bit Unix Epoch Time.

It would be funny to see the year 1901 and the like
it would turn out that we were born later than the current year :joy:
Instant rejuvenation!

Probably nothing special will happen like with Y2K

The only thing I don’t know what is the situation with satellites and other things in space… although they may not have such a long life

What I am expecting / want to happen is everything transferred smoothly except for one big company that gets everything screwed up, and then gets made fun of for the next 20 years because there entire system crashed for using the wrong data size for times.

I believe most of 64bit applications use a different time system which is functional until years after the death of sun. So anything that is going to be affected by y2k38 is most likely to be 32bit.

Number of bits have a lot of effect. 2^64 is a lot bigger than 2^32 which is only 4 Giga.

What did they do to you?

Modern 32-bit Linux like Debian will switch from signed integer to unsigned integer.

The 32-bit integer
Signed: 2147483647
Signed Date/Time: Tuesday, 19 January 2038 03:14:07
Unsigned: 4294967295
Unsigned Date/Time: Sunday, 7 February 2106 06:28:15

But I don’t know if world still exists in 2100 :v

@Oxy you should be able to create something in userChrome.css to hide that pesky puzzle icon in firefox

Thx - Yes, I’m constantly postponing this because I hope something clever will appear with a newer version.

I removed it today :skull_and_crossbones:

here are more detailed instructions

Until that year
your phone’s battery will die long ago and it won’t be worth it to install a new one,
and your phone will become an ordinary brick compared to the devices that will exist then.
In any case, you will probably change at least 5 phones by then - so don’t worry.

I made a great skin for the forum

1.open dev tools - style tab
2.find desktop*(blahblah)
3.scroll to the bottom and paste this

div{animation: anim 2s;animation-timing-function:linear;animation-iteration-count:infinite}
@keyframes anim{
0%{text-shadow:-6px 4px 0px red;background:green;left:1px;top:1px}
10%{text-shadow:4px -6px 0px green;background:blue;left:2px; top:3px}
20%{text-shadow:-9px 4px 0px blue;background:yellow;left:1px;top:5px}
30%{text-shadow:4px -6px 0px yellow;background:orange;left:3px; top:3px}
40%{text-shadow:-8px 4px 0px orange;background:purple;left:2px;top:1px}
50%{text-shadow:4px 5px 0px purple;background:brown;left:4px; top:4px}
60%{text-shadow:-6px 4px 0px brown;background:pink;left:5px;top:5px}
70%{text-shadow:4px 7px 0px pink;background:lime;left:3px; top:3px}

100%{text-shadow:-9px 4px 0px teal;background:red;left:2px;top:2px}
}

4.close dev tools and rest your eyes and mind

That’s a nice skin, but I prefer to stay with the dark theme after I made my eyes rest…

So apparently it is a bad idea to download a 2GB file over FTP, render a video in Premier, render another view in ClipChamp (Don’t ask), and transfer files over a local connection to your phone at the same time.

Premier crashed, and somehow froze my mouse and disabled by monitor in the process.

And no, I have not learned from this and have re-started every process from before

EDIT (9 mins later): It did it again
