Erneut eine Y2K38-Sicherheitslücke – wieder mitten in der Industrie.
CISA meldet eine kritische Schwachstelle in Tankmesssystemen von Dover Fueling Solutions. Ausgelöst durch einen 32-Bit-Zeitüberlauf – der Y2K38-Bug wird real.
Dass die Schwachstelle erkannt wurde, ist der Arbeit von Pedro Umbelino und Trey Darley zu verdanken.
Wir sagen wieder: Epochalypse Now!

Der Linux-Kernel hat das Jahr-2038-Problem gelöst.
Android nicht.
In Millionen Embedded-Systemen bleibt die 32-Bit-Zeitbasis unverändert – mit realen Sicherheitsfolgen.
Google nennt es Fortschritt.
Wir nennen es geplante Obsoleszenz.
„Don’t be evil“ war einmal.
Jetzt heisst es: Epochalypse Now!
📅 Computer zählen Sekunden seit 1970.
Am 19. Januar 2038 ist Schluss – der Zähler läuft über.
Das nennt sich das Jahr 2038 Problem.

⏰ Debian is doing the right thing, and far ahead of time. Rather than scrambling as 2038 approaches, Debian 13 “Trixie” will switch almost all supported platforms to 64‑bit time_t, even on 32‑bit architectures, to sidestep the Unix Epochalypse. It requires a sweeping change across thousands of packages, and means some older binaries may break, but it is a smart move done years early. I remember being there for the 16-bit to 32-bit migration. 😥 ⏳
TL;DR
⚠️ Y2K38 will overflow signed 32‑bit time at 03:14:07 UTC on January 19 2038
🛠️ Debian is switching to 64‑bit time_t on most 32‑bit platforms starting with Trixie
🧠 The change affects 6,429 packages and changes the ABI
🧪 Developers must test for regressions, especially around legacy compatibility

Y2K38 bug? Debian switching to 64-bit time for everything
We say everything... just not the oldest hardware. Unix Epochalypse less than 13 years away.

Kinda annoyed that there wasn't even a spike in traffic on my website yesterday at 2025-04-16T19:07:44+00:00

Was no one watching the bit flip to 01101000 00000000 00000000 00000000?
Anyway, see you guys at 2029-07-18T05:49:52+00:00 when it flips to 01110000 00000000 00000000 00000000, which is when we'll lose the next bit to the epochalypse.

US News: White House Shifting Cyber Risk to State and Local Agencies
Executive Order Shifts Cyber Responsibilities to States, Sparking Security Concerns
This could be a good time to be a #cybersecurity / #infosec expert in the USA. Or an appalling time. I guess it depends on how comfortable they are at coping with risk and uncertainty and potential disasters.
Also time to start prepping for Year2038 aka #Epochalypse (when Unix systems reach time end). 💻 ⌛

I made a new batch of #y2k38 stickers. Slightly different design this time.
If you are around at #fosdem2025, I'll drop some there.

@henry Maybe because they are "AI Resistant" and survived the AI Apocalypse in 2037, and had no RTC, so also survived the #Epochalypse in Jan 2038 (https://www.tomsguide.com/us/2038-bug-bh2017,news-25551.html)
😜
And with that we are in the 80s of the #epochalypse[1] – at least percentage wise.

Enjoy it while it lasts, as soon we will have made 80 percent of the way to #epochalypse[1]: https://botsin.space/@countdownY2K38/112575916930985643
How come we've successfully dealt with Y2K problem, but struggle with leap seconds and even daylight saving every time?
Can't wait for the #epochalypse in 2038. Nice to imagine being pulled out of a retirement at a remote cabin to deal with it 90s action movies style.
