that's based on UTC, so just use UTC?



based on is not the same thing though is it?

UTC is human readable even if it is not calculated correctly. yes, i'm saying that if you can read epoch seconds, you're not human. 1970-01-01 00:00:00 is always a give away that something is a foot


"anchored on" then? I might be wrong but we're both talking about showing time as distance from the same starting point are we not? One's just more human readable so that's why I say why not just use that? Seconds since can be miscalculated too, especially if current time isn't known/reliable


I wish it was based on TAI though.
