apparently if you have a 20 year CA CERT some clients will think it’s already expired

My personal experience with Y2038 is to consider PKI. If you have CA servers issuing digital certificates, the CA certificate needs to be valid for the duration. However, if your root CA certificate is valid for 20 years (2020-2040) some clients will think it’s already expired. twitter.com/jxxf/status/12…

⏲️ As of today, we have about eighteen years to go until the Y2038 problem occurs. But the Y2038 problem will be giving us headaches long, long before 2038 arrives. I'd like to tell you a story about this.
