Wait, there's a GNU Epoch as well?

[-] SteveTech@programming.dev 39 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I don't believe so, I think OP just misremembered 1970.

The 1704067200 is the 2024 new year, in seconds from 1970 (normal Unix time).

Gnu to me too!

[-] allywilson@sopuli.xyz 19 points 9 months ago

Because UNIX Epoch starts 1970, not 1975 is why I mentioned it.

You forgot to take into account leap years or as I've come to call them the leaping gnu/years

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
