Speaking of coming apocalypses:

Thu 17 Mar 2022 02:20:48 UTC is exactly 500 million seconds before the Y2038 apocalypse.

Anyone using 32-bit signed unix time who adds 500 million seconds to the current time (maybe "disabling" a timeout by making it now+500million), potentially has a problem on that date.

From memory, there were a few reports of problems at "Y2038 minus a billion seconds".
