minus-squares@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 年前Keep it simple and just measure in terms of seconds since the Big Bang. The current time is 435,884,579,968,052,736 seconds, easy peasy
minus-squarehumorlessrepost@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 年前Most of that time is irrelevant to me. Let’s just start it in 1970. And I need more precision, so can we do milliseconds instead of seconds?
minus-squareElectricVocalist@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 年前The big bang was definitely not in 1970

Nah just use Unix time
technically that is 64 bit unix time.
