Subject: [TUHS] Happy birthday, Unix timestamp!
Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2022 08:28:33 +1000 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.9999.2209090824480.71191@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)

``Unix time or Unix epoch, POSIX time or Unix timestamp, is a time system 
  that measures the number of seconds since midnight UTC of January 1, 1970, 
  not counting leap seconds. At 01:46:40 UTC on September 9, 2001, Unix time 
  reached the billionth second timestamp.''

Hard to believe that it was that long ago...
