# Year 2038 problem I’m terrible at writing articles so I won’t try. All I’ll say is research this. It’s cool!! Basically the idea is that there are 32 bit ints and 64 bit ints. Most regular systems can just update like the Linux kernel which already did in 5.6 but on many systems (including mysql) timestamps use 32 bit integers. Now that’s a limited size and timestamps after Jan 19 2038 will be larger then the Max which will cause it to loop back to negative. (because ints are stored in bits where the biggest number is 0 followed by 31 1’s. If the number is larger, the first 0 is changed to 1 which translates to negative.) so again most systems can and will or did update but older systems can have serious issues like embedded systems compiled once and never touched, chips in cars for airbags etc, maybe certain old file formats (i think ext3 and lower). y2k was software only. Was able to be updated with much work. This is kernel level software which has to be recompiled and updated while software can probably stay the same and probably many hardware chips will have to be replaced. Disclaimer: i researched this fast and probably made mistakes. Feel free to correct them ---

# learn programming languages if you already know some basic coding (for example you learned python or javascript) and you’re already familiar with basic concepts like what a variable is, a for loop, datatypes etc etc and you wanna learn a different programming language, you probably went crazy from only finding beginner level tutorials of a few hours long explaining how a variable is just like a bucket when you’re just trying to learn the syntax for this specific language. (unless i’m the only 1 with this issue.) if that’s you, you must check out: > **[Learn X in Y Minutes: Scenic Programming Language Tours](https://learnxinyminutes.com/)** they have tons of languages where each language has like a 2 paragraph introduction and then a short file with all basics for the languages syntax. I came across it and thought it was absolutely amazing. I hope others can enjoy it too. It might not teach every complex part of every language but overall it really does a good job teaching the basics of the syntax assuming you already know basic concepts. ---

Google dorks are the best! I am addicted to see what people make and do, take this google search for an example. ```auto site:lovable.app "admin dashboard" ``` I can change the search to whatever I want, and see what people built, mostly not private but just intersting. ---

> [@Kernel exploit to root sonim?](https://jtechforums.org/t/kernel-exploit-to-root-sonim/5180/39): > > Besides fixing that bug and some others, its much more stable and easier to manage and with new features. i also worked for hours rewriting parts to be more robustly compatible for this specific phone. Same link same repo just updated. Check it out: i’m overtired and in the mood of ranting so… just wanted to say, i worked on that project for hours, rewriting big chunks of the c exploit and wrote all others from scratch without ai. Not trying to brag. Just trying to rip ai. I thought to myself, if i’d use ai, i got no doubt i’d still be in the middle if not yet given up after it just not working… ai is impressively good when it comes to ui or even some basic backend but when it comes to real deployments it’s a disaster. It will almost never work but even on the small chance it will, it will not be secure and will fall apart pretty fast. AI is good at ui cuz its simple. When you need actual human brains to make decisions how to do something ai just doesn’t do good. Same with c kernel stuff especially device specific stuff. Even though ai knows more info about this exploit then i do, it just Fails terribly. @mods wasn’t sure where to put this. Feel free to move this if you feel like it. ---

I’m am most definitely not saying that ai is all knowing. Haha, definitely not. But if you are having trouble deploying things I’d venture to say that you haven’t used it correctly. Security when building with ai products is also only as good as the person prompting it. - from a former AI basher Great job on the sonim stuff. Very cool ---

Some days in IT are boring, like today. Almost every single call is about connecting laptop to computer/server at work. Some people get Google remote desktop, some anydesk, some tailscale VPN and rdp some, get net extender or global VPN with rdp and some even got a screenconnect host pass. All depends what the case is, and what they like. ---
