Gregory's Server@tychotithonus @robertatcara It makes me wonder if we'll be equally panicked about the Unix epoch, or if fixes will roll out to all the Linux and BSD systems well ahead of time.

@gerowen @tychotithonus @robertatcara@infosec.exchange The entire existence of 64-bit Unix systems arguably constitutes rolling out fixes ahead of time. I know a number of Linux distributions have already been working out how to deal with the 32-bit Arm problem for a while, since that's the most likely one to stick around in embedded systems. People in the field are definitely thinking ahead to 2038 at this point. |

Indeed. And given how long IoT-ish devices can survive in the field, well beyond their "advertised" service/support life, but still operating normally ... the Unix-likes have been trying to root it out for a while, to get in front of that loooong runway.
