a rare Unix timestamp occurred yesterday.
next one (1_800_000_000) will be in 2027.
edit: seems like Lemmy doesn't like video links in pictures field. so pasted it below.
happy 1_700_000_000 everyone!

Nothing existed prior to January 1, 1970.
It is known.

End of universe, 2038.

From the atomic age into the information age. That date is a good marker.

*Disinformation Age
The Information Age appeared for a brief moment and went straight into the Disinformation Age

I imagine all timestamps are rare. I.e only one exists of each until there is a rollover.

Had to explain Unix time to my friends when I sent them a picture of 1696969420

I've been using Linux since 1996 and remember when time_t was less than a billion. I guess I've found a new way to date myself. Slightly interestingly I thought, 1 billion was a couple of days before 9/11 which some have said defines the modern era or epoch.

Fun fact: If your shell is Bash or supports the same feature(s),
datetechnically isn't needed;printf '%(%s)T\n'works the same.Yes, that is a
date/strftime-style percent escape inside a specific parentheticalprintfpercent escape.bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y
What shell is this that it outputs the duration after exiting the loop? Looks nifty.

it's starship. you should check it out if you don't have a handcrafted prompt.
edit: shell is bash. just with a custom prompt in .bashrc.
