@bagder That's not very smart, we should use 65-bits to make it fall in a Thursday instead, nobody wants his Sunday ruined for this.
@bagder do you have the exact UTC time ? Just to be prepared.
@bagder better start preparing for that!
@bagder aw damn, I'm on call that day!
@bagder If "bits", and by extension binary-based computing are still used then, the universe will be having bigger problems than this. :)
@bagder but if it's nanoseconds...
@bagder Very tempting to say action need not be prompt, but we know where that lead to.
@bagder Thanks, but I do not expect any trace of civilisation to exist post 2038-01-19.
@bagder Still got some room to spare 😅
