<< Apparently a non-trivial number of systems are experiencing #Y2020 bugs. A common Y2K "fix" just postponed things by 20 years, interpreting 00-19 as the 2000s and 20-99 as the 1900s. 20 years is now up, some of those systems are still in use, and they think it's 1920. Oooops. >>
@natecull Now where do I remember the name Jef Poskanzer from... Usenet?
@natecull Oh, hey, there's a (short) Wikipedia page... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jef_Poskanzer
So yes, Usenet. And ACME Labs software (used to run thttpd, where appropriate)...
I recognise the name too! YK20 is a great idea... for a #postmortem post.
