happy 1_700_000_000 everyone!
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.
RAM, 🥳🥳🥳
konalt, 
Cutting it a bit close there.
lemmesay, 
yes lol. became anxious fearing I’d miss it and hence made typos :')
bamboo, What shell is this that it outputs the duration after exiting the loop? Looks nifty.
lemmesay, (edited ) 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.
jeena, 
Hooray we did it!
Gork, Nothing existed prior to January 1, 1970.
It is known.
PlasticExistence, It is known.
TimeSquirrel, 
From the atomic age into the information age. That date is a good marker.
ininewcrow, 
*Disinformation Age
The Information Age appeared for a brief moment and went straight into the Disinformation Age
018118055, End of universe, 2038.
TeamBrett, I imagine all timestamps are rare. I.e only one exists of each until there is a rollover.
palordrolap, Fun fact: If your shell is Bash or supports the same feature(s),
datetechnically isn't needed;printf '%(%s)Tn'works the same.Yes, that is a
date/strftime-style percent escape inside a specific parentheticalprintfpercent escape.
Aabbcc, Had to explain Unix time to my friends when I sent them a picture of 1696969420
018118055, 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.
