Once again I was just minding my own business writing code, then I regained consciousness and was ranting about time standards, and doing conversion math between UT1, UTC, TAI, and losing my mind as I remember that the posix time() syscall states that it returns the number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, but then in supplemental notes defines "the number of seconds since that instant" to not be, you know, the number of seconds elapsed since that instant, but merely an approximation of the number of seconds, which ignores leap seconds and therefore IS NOT UTC GOD FUCKING DAMNIT
