        Oh no, you misunderstand. I support a Unix system. Not Linux, not BSD, not Solaris. Y2K will be a problem in 2029 if don’t remember to set the clock back. Assuming the PDP-11 still works by then.

          Does it not have epoch set to 1970-01-01 00:00:00? Or does the PDP-11 only use a non power of 2 number of bits, and you’ve already set the clock back before? Genuinely curious, never heard of 2029 problem before.

            Not a 2029 problem, maybe could have been clearer there. The clock is set 30 years behind. So, the clock will roll over to the year 2000 in 2030, meaning it will be a problem to address in 2029.
