Yep, now we have the 2038 year coming for Linux. It already got me, I didnt want to renew my home NAS certificate every year, so I thought I'd do a 30 year cert. Well after 2038 it rolled the date to the 1960s...

    Debian is ready - as of Debian Trixie (released in August 2025), all software in the official repo is being compiled with 64-bit time. https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time

    For your home NAS, I'd recommend using Let's Encrypt with Certbot. You can use it for internal systems, as long as you have a real domain name. Use DNS verification instead of HTTP.

    So when some Linux apostle is preaching how I need the salvation of Linux in my life, I'll just tell them that I'm waiting for 2038, and then I'll jump in AFTER the apocalypse.

    Join now lest ye not be saved. 😀 32 bit time keeping is the issue, most systems are 64 bit now, so its just logistics / implementation issue now, not a technology problem
