[TUHS] Three-quarters to the next Epoch

[TUHS] Three-quarters to the next Epoch

[Dave Horsfall]

Sent to me from a fellow weirdo...

At 19:25:36 AEDT (00:25:36 UTC), Unix time reached 0x60000000.  We're 
three quarters of the way to 2038...

Stock up on food, load dem guns, and batten down the hatches :-)

That was January 14, 2021, right?

GNU date would appear to agree:

$ date --utc --date=@$(printf '%d' 0x60000000)
Thu 14 Jan 2021 08:25:36 UTC
$

(At least the version I've got handy doesn't seem to like a hex
seconds-since-epoch timestamp, so a separate conversion to decimal is
required in that case.)

I have a non-GNU one (as part of an unfinished *x I was developing) that 
also doesn't like that, so it required this:

   $ date -ur $(echo "ibase=16;60000000" | bc)
   Thu Jan 14 08:25:36 UTC 2021

Says it was pulled from a 2019 commit to OpenBSD.

-uso.

Looks like `rc` to me.

https://github.com/rakitzis/rc; GitHub search for "Byron rc" finds a few
forks.

Plan9port also ships a pretty good-sized userspace of Plan 9 tools,
including rc. https://github.com/9fans/plan9port
