Frequently Asked Questions
What is Unix Time?
It is the number of seconds that have passed since the 'Unix Epoch' (January 1, 1970 UTC). It is the standard way computers track time regardless of timezones.
Why use ISO 8601?
ISO 8601 (e.g., 2023-12-25T15:30:00Z) is the international standard. It sorts correctly as text and eliminates ambiguity between Day/Month ordering (US vs EU formats).
Is this Y2K38 safe?
Yes. The 'Year 2038 problem' affects 32-bit systems. Modern web and server architecture (64-bit) can handle timestamps for billions of years.
