For fans of entirely spurious numbers, the UNIX timestamp is about to hit 17777777.

@calmeilles @Edent you don't want a cake?

@Edent or in a human-readable date format, -rwxrwxrwxrwxrwxrwxrwxrwxrwt

[ln@social.linux.pizza]

@Edent Let's goooo

[ben@fedi.yaf.ai]

@Edent I do indeed enjoy this. My sister and I sometimes send screenshots or photos to each other when we notice the time hit 12:34. It’s a simple way of letting the other know we’re thinking of each other.

@lw @Edent Yes, I too wondered why he didn't wait a second for the nice round 20000000.

@Edent Use a proper time server or at least a client and forget about this crap. Not all with unix in the name has to be non plus ultra...

@Edent I remember 1234567890 !

[seotute@mastodon.social]

@Edent Haha, what a strangely satisfying milestone Gotta love those nerdy moments—counting down like it’s New Year’s Eve!

@Edent

I'm always wary of coincidences about numbers that only happen with a base-10 representation.

Edit: in more plain words: it means jack shit.

@Edent I feel old. I remember when it was only 1234567890.
