O Crédito do Trabalhador, programa que oferece empréstimo consignado com condições especiais para trabalhadores com carteira assinada, entrou em uma nova fase no dia 25 de abril. Nesta segunda fase, os bancos habilitados podem oferecer o consignado para CLTs diretamente em seus aplicativos. Até então, todas as transações, incluindo a simulação, eram feitas no aplicativo da Carteira de Trabalho Digital. Com o novo programa, todos os trabalhadores com carteira assinada poderão contratar essa modalidade de empréstimo, podendo usar até 10% do saldo do Fundo de Garantia por Tempo de Serviço (FGTS) como garantia e, também, 100% da multa rescisória na demissão sem justa causa (que equivale a 40% do valor do saldo). Este é o tema em destaque nesta edição do “Conversa de Bolso”, com o comentarista Felipe Storch. Ouça a conversa completa!

Our conversation was recorded on April of 2025.Ms. Roty is a Ph.D candidate at the Cultural and Discursive Interactions department of the University of Tours in France. She is part of a French Research agency-funded project called the Trust Issues Project, which brings together a multidisciplinary group of researchers to study community land trusts (CLTs) and how they can be adopted in France. Much of her research analyzes the evolution of law around CLTs in response to housing crises. Her research homes in on CLT frameworks in the context of social, historical, and legal events going on at the time. Oriane received her bachelor's degree from Maastricht University in European Law and the University of Paris Sorbonne in Law, her master's in Philosophy and Society Research from the University of Paris Sorbonne, and is currently completing her Ph.D at the University of Tours in France.Together, we discussed the origins of community land trusts, compared the French and American land-trust systems, and the causes and impacts of the housing crisis in the western world.To check out more of our content, including our research and policy tools, visit our website: https://www.hgsss.org/

Grounded is a not-for-profit organisation established to advocate, incubate and accelerate the development of CLTs in so-called Australia. Karl unpacks how CLTs could reshape housing affordability, and how these changes could impact those who need housing most. We also break down the CLT model, its costs, long-term benefits, and the policy shifts needed to increase housing access.// Pleasure and Consent for Women and Gender Diverse People with Disabilities//Dr Brigid Evans, Senior Policy and Research Officer at Women with Disabilities Victoria, spoke with us about a co-authored discussion paper published by WDV last week that focuses on issues of access to pleasure and consent for women and gender diverse people with disabilities. The paper opens a conversation about barriers faced by women and gender diverse people with disabilities to accessing sexual and reproductive health care and to freely exercising affirmative consent. In her role at WDV, Brigid provides advice to governments and service providers on primary prevention of disability and gender-based violence, as well as disability inclusive sexual and reproductive health promotion.

In the face of our current housing crisis, community land trusts (CLTs) are emerging as a tool to develop and preserve affordable housing and land, and to stabilize neighborhoods. CLTs stand out from other models with their commitment to preserving affordable housing and land in perpetuity, and with a governance structure that ensures residents, neighbors, and other community members hold central decision-making roles. While CLTs acquire property through a variety of methods, many CLTs are developing pathways for local homeowners to transfer property through estate planning. Bequeathing property to a CLT is one impactful way homeowners may leave a legacy to their neighborhoods. This program will introduce CLTs as potential beneficiaries of estate plans, illustrate a Boston-based case study that offers some initial lessons-learned, and outline key considerations for working with homeowners who are interested in transferring property to CLTs. Panelists will include estate planning and elder law attorney Harry Margolis, who has worked with Dudley Neighbors, Inc. (DNI), one of the oldest and largest CLTs in the country; CLT practitioner and consultant Harry Smith, who has served as the executor of an estate that included a property transfer to DNI; and land use attorney David Linhart, who represents DNI. Participants can expect to leave the program with a deeper understanding of CLTs and why they matter, model documents for estate plans facilitating CLT property transfers, and crucial lessons and considerations for supporting homeowners who want to transfer their property to CLTs. This program is hosted by the Trust and Estates Section of the Boston Bar Association, in partnership with the Greater Boston Community Land Trust Network. Questions?

Community land trusts are proliferating across the globe, promoted as a potential solution to the ever-worsening affordable housing crisis. CLTs provide a mechanism for decommodification, collective ownership, and community control; however, those ideals are hard to operationalize, and many CLTs function more as traditional affordable housing providers than as urban commons. This episode discusses the causes of this tension as well as regional differences and issues of funding and scale framed around the question: are CLTs transformative? The moderator of this podcast is Mathilde Lind Gustavussen. She is a PhD candidate in sociology at the Freie Universität Berlin. Her research focuses on housing, displacement, and tenant activism in Los Angeles. The panel of guests consists of: Nele Aernouts is assistant professor of urban design and planning at the Cosmopolis Centre for Urban Research, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Her research interests lie in the planning, spatial design and governance of social and collective housing initiatives, with a specific focus on their effects on the inclusion of disadvantaged or marginalized groups.

Episode Notes This year, the average price of a single family home in Virginia crossed the $400 thousand dollar mark. Virginia's urban populations are expanding without the housing supply to keep up. Staring down skyrocketing prices, many people are forced to accept that homeownership won't be in their future. Confronting this goes beyond building more housing... that's only one arrow in a quiver full of policies that could make housing more affordable. And we need to consider all of those policy arrows in the quiver.  One such arrow is Community Land Trusts, or CLTs. CLTs trace their origins back to the Civil Rights era and are grounded in a philosophy of racial justice. We talk with Erica Sims, CEO of the Maggie Walker CLT in Richmond, about CLTs' radical vision of "permanently affordable housing." But first, we talk with Wyatt Gordon, a reporter covering housing, transportation, and land use at Virginia Mercury. He breaks down the "missing middle” housing debate going on in Arlington, and how "missing middle" housing reframes visions of homeownership.   Click here to learn more about Charles Sherrod, co-founder of the first Community Land Trust "New Communities."

Shirley Sherrod, Executive Director of the Southwest Georgia Project for Community Education discusses her life-long experiences as an advocate for farmers, the outcomes of the Georgia runoff elections, and the successful work completed by the Southwest Georgia Project. Sherrod is quoted in an article that appeared in the Washington Post on Sunday, January 17, regarding Tom Vilsack’s nomination as agriculture secretary by the Biden Administration. She states: “He has to create a culture of racial and social justice across the agency to even begin to undo the harm that has occurred,” (see link Below) www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/01/14/vilsack-usda-black-farmers/ Shirley Sherrod is a Baker County Georgia native who grew up on her family’s farm. In March 1965, her father was murdered by a white farmer who was not prosecuted. The tragic murder of her father when she was 17 years old had a profound impact on her life and led to her decision to stay in the south to work for change. Shirley helped to start the civil rights movement in Baker County and later married Charles Sherrod, one of the founding members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and leader of SNCC’s work in Southwest Georgia. With her husband and others, she helped to form New Communities, Inc., the first Community Land Trust in the United States. New Communities serves as a laboratory and model in the movement toward the development of community land trusts (CLTs) throughout the country. There are more than 200 CLTs today. Shirley has a B.A. in Sociology from Albany State University in Albany, Georgia and a M.A. in Community Development from Antioch University in Yellow Springs, Ohio. In 2015, she was awarded a Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Sojourner-Douglas College in Baltimore, Maryland. She has received many awards for her work in civil rights, and as an advocate for farmers and rural residents. In 2009, Shirley was appointed by the Obama Administration as USDA Georgia State Director of Rural Development. She became the first person of color to hold the position. Shirley was forced to resign her position in 2010 after conservative blogger, Andrew Brietbart edited a speech she made at a NAACP banquet, to make it appear that she discriminated against a white farmer while serving in her federally appointed position. Subsequent events showed that Brietbart’s edited video was taken out of context and was part of broader comments that conveyed a completely different meaning. USDA Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack apologized and offered her another position, which she declined.

The African-American activists who created the modern CLT intended it to be a platform for increasing the prosperity and power of people of color. Progress has been made, but more remains to be done. This is an historic moment in the march toward racial justice, argues the executive director of the Grounded Solutions Network, requiring self-examination among CLTs in the United States – and elsewhere. CLTs must do a better job, in particular, of going to scale and of making room for the next generation of CLT experts and leaders who must be “collectively diverse and intentionally representative of the communities they serve.”

As the CLT model has grown and proliferated in the United States, it has strayed from its original purpose, according to Olivia Williams. Instead of being a mechanism for collective decision-making and long-term control by poor, working class, and marginalized people over the development of land, the model is increasingly perceived and promoted primarily as an economically efficient strategy for producing affordable housing. How did this happen? And what can now be done to return CLTs to being a movement for community control of land and housing, one that is accountable to “those on the frontlines of grassroots struggles”?

Established in 2003 with a service area encompassing an entire metropolitan area, the Urban Land Conservancy has become a major player on Denver's real estate scene. An integral part of its success comes from the organization's adoption of key features of the CLT, including permanent ownership of land, long-term ground leasing, and permanent affordability of housing and other buildings located on its land. More than most CLTs in the USA and elsewhere, ULC has taken advantage of the model's versatility to move beyond homeownership –and beyond housing. ULC has supported the development of over 1000 units of multi-family rental housing, while also helping to develop 700,000 square feet of non-residential space for nonprofit partners. It has recently incubated the Elevation CLT, a new organization that (unlike ULC) will focus on the development and stewardship of resale-restricted owner-occupied housing.

The rallying cry of a campaign launched by the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative in 1989, “Take a Stand, Own the Land” was aimed at forcing the transfer of 30 acres of blighted, vacant land into the hands of a CLT subsidiary created the year before. Half was owned by the City of Boston and half by private individuals or corporations. The success of this grassroots campaign is the centerpiece of the story told by Hernandez and Smith in describing DSNI's efforts to construct permanently affordable housing, to build an urban village, and to create a city-wide network of new CLTs in Boston.

Ela and Rosenberg cite leading examples in the United States, while offering guidance on “eight strategic questions” that urban farmers should consider when seeking long-term access to land.

Susannah Bunce and Joshua Barndt (read by Bob Rose) The development of community land trusts in Canada occurred over a 40-year period in two distinct phases. The first generation of Canadian CLTs (1980 – 2012) either combined community-owned land with multi-unit housing cooperatives in Toronto and Montreal or promoted individual homeownership in western and central Canada. More recently, a second generation of CLTs has emerged in cities throughout the country in response to an escalating crisis in affordable housing, taking the form of either community-based or sector-based initiatives. Since 2017, older and newer CLTs have coalesced, via the Canadian Network of CLTs.

How did an experimental “model” of community-led development on community-owned land grow from a single CLT prototype in 1969, seeded by African-American activists in a remote corner of the USA, to a national “movement” of over 280 CLTs today? The answer is to be found in five “growth factors”: message; champions; performance; policy; and hybrid vigor. Despite a steady rise in the number of CLTs and the size of their holdings, however, key features of the model and core values of the movement are precarious. The future may look different than the past.

(https://www.trueos.org/blog/trueos-community-guidelines/) TrueOS has published its new Community Guidelines The TrueOS Project has existed for over ten years. Until now, there was no formally defined process for interested individuals in the TrueOS community to earn contributor status as an active committer to this long-standing project. The current core TrueOS developers (Kris Moore, Ken Moore, and Joe Maloney) want to provide the community more opportunities to directly impact the TrueOS Project, and wish to formalize the process for interested people to gain full commit access to the TrueOS repositories. These describe what is expected of community members and committers They also describe the process of getting commit access to the TrueOS repo: Previously, Kris directly handed out commit bits. Now, the Core developers have provided a small list of requirements for gaining a TrueOS commit bit: Create five or more pull requests in a TrueOS Project repository within a single six month period. Stay active in the TrueOS community through at least one of the available community channels (Gitter, Discourse, IRC, etc.). Request commit access from the core developers via core@trueos.org OR Core developers contact you concerning commit access. Pull requests can be any contribution to the project, from minor documentation tweaks to creating full utilities. At the end of every month, the core developers review the commit logs, removing elements that break the Project or deviate too far from its intended purpose. Additionally, outstanding pull requests with no active dissension are immediately merged, if possible. For example, a user submits a pull request which adds a little-used OpenRC script. No one from the community comments on the request or otherwise argues against its inclusion, resulting in an automatic merge at the end of the month. In this manner, solid contributions are routinely added to the project and never left in a state of “limbo”. The page also describes the perks of being a TrueOS committer: Contributors to the TrueOS Project enjoy a number of benefits, including: A personal TrueOS email alias: @trueos.org Full access for managing TrueOS issues on GitHub. Regular meetings with the core developers and other contributors. Access to private chat channels with the core developers. Recognition as part of an online Who's Who of TrueOS developers. The eternal gratitude of the core developers of TrueOS. A warm, fuzzy feeling.

Thank you very much, Intel! *** Applied FreeBSD: Basic iSCSI (https://globalengineer.wordpress.com/2017/03/05/applied-freebsd-basic-iscsi/) iSCSI is often touted as a low-cost replacement for fibre-channel (FC) Storage Area Networks (SANs). Instead of having to setup a separate fibre-channel network for the SAN, or invest in the infrastructure to run Fibre-Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), iSCSI runs on top of standard TCP/IP. This means that the same network equipment used for routing user data on a network could be utilized for the storage as well. This article will cover a very basic setup where a FreeBSD server is configured as an iSCSI Target, and another FreeBSD server is configured as the iSCSI Initiator. The iSCSI Target will export a single disk drive, and the initiator will create a filesystem on this disk and mount it locally. Advanced topics, such as multipath, ZFS storage pools, failover controllers, etc. are not covered. The real magic is the /etc/ctl.conf file, which contains all of the information necessary for ctld to share disk drives on the network. Check out the man page for /etc/ctl.conf for more details; below is the configuration file that I created for this test setup. Note that on a system that has never had iSCSI configured, there will be no existing configuration file, so go ahead and create it. Then, enable ctld and start it: sysrc ctld_enable=”YES” service ctld start You can use the ctladm command to see what is going on: root@bsdtarget:/dev # ctladm lunlist (7:0:0/0): Fixed Direct Access SPC-4 SCSI device (7:0:1/1): Fixed Direct Access SPC-4 SCSI device root@bsdtarget:/dev # ctladm devlist LUN Backend Size (Blocks) BS Serial Number Device ID 0 block 10485760 512 MYSERIAL 0 MYDEVID 0 1 block 10485760 512 MYSERIAL 1 MYDEVID 1 Now, let's configure the client side: In order for a FreeBSD host to become an iSCSI Initiator, the iscsd daemon needs to be started. sysrc iscsid_enable=”YES” service iscsid start Next, the iSCSI Initiator can manually connect to the iSCSI target using the iscsictl tool. While setting up a new iSCSI session, this is probably the best option. Once you are sure the configuration is correct, add the configuration to the /etc/iscsi.conf file (see man page for this file). For iscsictl, pass the IP address of the target as well as the iSCSI IQN for the session: + iscsictl -A -p 192.168.22.128 -t iqn.2017-02.lab.testing:basictarget You should now have a new device (check dmesg), in this case, da1 The guide them walks through partitioning the disk, and laying down a UFS file system, and mounting it This it walks through how to disconnect iscsi, incase you don't want it anymore This all looked nice and easy, and it works very well. Now lets see what happens when you try to mount the iSCSI from Windows Ok, that wasn't so bad. Now, instead of sharing an entire space disk on the host via iSCSI, share a zvol. Now your windows machine can be backed by ZFS. All of your problems are solved. Interview - Philipp Buehler - pbuehler@sysfive.com (mailto:pbuehler@sysfive.com) Technical Lead at SysFive, and Former OpenBSD Committer News Roundup Half a dozen new features in mandoc -T html (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20170316080827) mandoc (http://man.openbsd.org/mandoc.1)'s HTML output mode got some new features Even though mdoc(7) is a semantic markup language, traditionally none of the semantic annotations were communicated to the reader. [...] Now, at least in -T html output mode, you can see the semantic function of marked-up words by hovering your mouse over them. In terminal output modes, we have the ctags(1)-like internal search facility built around the less(1) tag jump (:t) feature for quite some time now. We now have a similar feature in -T html output mode. To jump to (almost) the same places in the text, go to the address bar of the browser, type a hash mark ('#') after the URI, then the name of the option, command, variable, error code etc. you want to jump to, and hit enter. Check out the full report by Ingo Schwarze (schwarze@) and try out these new features *** Optimizing IllumOS Kernel Crypto (http://zfs-create.blogspot.com/2014/05/optimizing-illumos-kernel-crypto.html) Sašo Kiselkov, of ZFS fame, looked into the performance of the OpenSolaris kernel crypto framework and found it lacking. The article also spends a few minutes on the different modes and how they work. Recently I've had some motivation to look into the KCF on Illumos and discovered that, unbeknownst to me, we already had an AES-NI implementation that was automatically enabled when running on Intel and AMD CPUs with AES-NI support. This work was done back in 2010 by Dan Anderson.This was great news, so I set out to test the performance in Illumos in a VM on my Mac with a Core i5 3210M (2.5GHz normal, 3.1GHz turbo). The initial tests of “what the hardware can do” were done in OpenSSL So now comes the test for the KCF. I wrote a quick'n'dirty crypto test module that just performed a bunch of encryption operations and timed the results. KCF got around 100 MB/s for each algorithm, except half that for AES-GCM OpenSSL had done over 3000 MB/s for CTR mode, 500 MB/s for CBC, and 1000 MB/s for GCM What the hell is that?! This is just plain unacceptable. Obviously we must have hit some nasty performance snag somewhere, because this is comical. And sure enough, we did. When looking around in the AES-NI implementation I came across this bit in aes_intel.s that performed the CLTS instruction. This is a problem: 3.1.2 Instructions That Cause VM Exits ConditionallyCLTS. The CLTS instruction causes a VM exit if the bits in position 3 (corresponding to CR0.TS) are set in both the CR0 guest/host mask and the CR0 read shadow. The CLTS instruction signals to the CPU that we're about to use FPU registers (which is needed for AES-NI), which in VMware causes an exit into the hypervisor. And we've been doing it for every single AES block! Needless to say, performing the equivalent of a very expensive context switch every 16 bytes is going to hurt encryption performance a bit. The reason why the kernel is issuing CLTS is because for performance reasons, the kernel doesn't save and restore FPU register state on kernel thread context switches. So whenever we need to use FPU registers inside the kernel, we must disable kernel thread preemption via a call to kpreemptdisable() and kpreemptenable() and save and restore FPU register state manually. During this time, we cannot be descheduled (because if we were, some other thread might clobber our FPU registers), so if a thread does this for too long, it can lead to unexpected latency bubbles The solution was to restructure the AES and KCF block crypto implementations in such a way that we execute encryption in meaningfully small chunks. I opted for 32k bytes, for reasons which I'll explain below. Unfortunately, doing this restructuring work was a bit more complicated than one would imagine, since in the KCF the implementation of the AES encryption algorithm and the block cipher modes is separated into two separate modules that interact through an internal API, which wasn't really conducive to high performance (we'll get to that later). Anyway, having fixed the issue here and running the code at near native speed, this is what I get: AES-128/CTR: 439 MB/s AES-128/CBC: 483 MB/s AES-128/GCM: 252 MB/s Not disastrous anymore, but still, very, very bad. Of course, you've got keep in mind, the thing we're comparing it to, OpenSSL, is no slouch. It's got hand-written highly optimized inline assembly implementations of most of these encryption functions and their specific modes, for lots of platforms. That's a ton of code to maintain and optimize, but I'll be damned if I let this kind of performance gap persist. Fixing this, however, is not so trivial anymore. It pertains to how the KCF's block cipher mode API interacts with the cipher algorithms. It is beautifully designed and implemented in a fashion that creates minimum code duplication, but this also means that it's inherently inefficient. ECB, CBC and CTR gained the ability to pass an algorithm-specific "fastpath" implementation of the block cipher mode, because these functions benefit greatly from pipelining multiple cipher calls into a single place. ECB, CTR and CBC decryption benefit enormously from being able to exploit the wide XMM register file on Intel to perform encryption/decryption operations on 8 blocks at the same time in a non-interlocking manner. The performance gains here are on the order of 5-8x.CBC encryption benefits from not having to copy the previously encrypted ciphertext blocks into memory and back into registers to XOR them with the subsequent plaintext blocks, though here the gains are more modest, around 1.3-1.5x. After all of this work, this is how the results now look on Illumos, even inside of a VM: Algorithm/Mode 128k ops AES-128/CTR: 3121 MB/s AES-128/CBC: 691 MB/s AES-128/GCM: 1053 MB/s So the CTR and GCM speeds have actually caught up to OpenSSL, and CBC is actually faster than OpenSSL. On the decryption side of things, CBC decryption also jumped from 627 MB/s to 3011 MB/s. Seeing these performance numbers, you can see why I chose 32k for the operation size in between kernel preemption barriers. Even on the slowest hardware with AES-NI, we can expect at least 300-400 MB/s/core of throughput, so even in the worst case, we'll be hogging the CPU for at most ~0.1ms per run. Overall, we're even a little bit faster than OpenSSL in some tests, though that's probably down to us encrypting 128k blocks vs 8k in the "openssl speed" utility. Anyway, having fixed this monstrous atrocity of a performance bug, I can now finally get some sleep. To made these tests repeatable, and to ensure that the changes didn't break the crypto algorithms, Saso created a crypto_test kernel module. I have recently created a FreeBSD version of crypto_test.ko, for much the same purposes Initial performance on FreeBSD is not as bad, if you have the aesni.ko module loaded, but it is not up to speed with OpenSSL. You cannot directly compare to the benchmarks Saso did, because the CPUs are vastly different. Performance results (https://wiki.freebsd.org/OpenCryptoPerformance) I hope to do some more tests on a range of different sized CPUs in order to determine how the algorithms scale across different clock speeds. I also want to look at, or get help and have someone else look at, implementing some of the same optimizations that Saso did. It currently seems like there isn't a way to perform addition crypto operations in the same session without regenerating the key table. Processing additional buffers in an existing session might offer a number of optimizations for bulk operations, although in many cases, each block is encrypted with a different key and/or IV, so it might not be very useful. *** Brendan Gregg's special freeware tools for sysadmins (http://www.brendangregg.com/specials.html) These tools need to be in every (not so) serious sysadmins toolbox.

The world was going crazy for years, paying insane amounts of money to experts to fix critical legacy systems, and there was a neverending stream of predictions from the media on how it's all going to fail. Most didn't even understand what the problem was, and I remember one magazine writing something like the following: Most systems store the current year as a two-digit value to save space. When the value rolls over on New Year's Eve 1999, those two digits will be “00”, and “00” means “halt operation” in the machine language of many central processing units. If you're in an elevator at this time, it will stop working and you may fall to your death. I still don't know why they thought a computer would suddenly interpret data as code, but people believed them. We could see a nearby hydropower plant from my parents' house, and we expected it to go up in flames as soon as the clock passed midnight, while at least two airplanes crashed in our garden at the same time. Then nothing happened. I think one of the most “severe” problems was the police not being able to open their car garages the next day because their RFID tokens had both a start and end date for validity, and the system clock had actually rolled over to 1900, so the tokens were “not yet valid”. That was 17 years ago. One of the reasons why Y2K wasn't as bad as it could have been is that many systems had never used the “two-digit-year” representation internally, but use some form of “timestamp” relative to a fixed date (the “epoch”). The actual problem with time and dates rolling over is that systems calculate timestamp differences all day. Since a timestamp derived from the system clock seemingly only increases with each query, it is very common to just calculate diff = now - before and never care about the fact that now could suddenly be lower than before because the system clock has rolled over. In this case diff is suddenly negative, and if other parts of the code make further use of the suddenly negative value, things can go horribly wrong. A good example was a bug in the generator control units (GCUs) aboard Boeing 787 “Dreamliner” aircrafts, discovered in 2015. An internal timestamp counter would overflow roughly 248 days after the system had been powered on, triggering a shut down to “safe mode”. The aircraft has four generator units, but if all were powered up at the same time, they would all fail at the same time. This sounds like an overflow caused by a signed 32-bit counter counting the number of centiseconds since boot, overflowing after 248.55 days, and luckily no airline had been using their Boing 787 models for such a long time between maintenance intervals. The “obvious” solution is to simply switch to 64-Bit values and call it day, which would push overflow dates far into the future (as long as you don't do it like the IBM S/370 mentioned before). But as we've learned from the Y2K problem, you have to assume that computer systems, computer software and stored data (which often contains timestamps in some form) will stay with us for much longer than we might think. The years 2036 and 2038 might be far in the future, but we have to assume that many of the things we make and sell today are going to be used and supported for more than just 19 years. Also many systems have to store dates which are far in the future. A 30 year mortgage taken out in 2008 could have already triggered the bug, and for some banks it supposedly did. sysgettimeofday() is one of the most used system calls on a generic Linux system and returns the current time in form of an UNIX timestamp (timet data type) plus fraction (susecondst data type). Many applications have to know the current time and date to do things, e.g. displaying it, using it in game timing loops, invalidating caches after their lifetime ends, perform an action after a specific moment has passed, etc. In a 32-Bit UNIX system, timet is usually defined as a signed 32-Bit Integer. When kernel, libraries and applications are compiled, the compiler will turn this assumption machine code and all components later have to match each other. So a 32-Bit Linux application or library still expects the kernel to return a 32-Bit value even if the kernel is running on a 64-Bit architecture and has 32-Bit compatibility. The same holds true for applications calling into libraries. This is a major problem, because there will be a lot of legacy software running in 2038. Systems which used an unsigned 32-Bit Integer for timet push the problem back to 2106, but I don't know about many of those. The developers of the GNU C library (glibc), the default standard C library for many GNU/Linux systems, have come up with a design for year 2038 proofness for their library. Besides the timet data type itself, a number of other data structures have fields based on timet or the combined struct timespec and struct timeval types. Many methods beside those intended for setting and querying the current time use timestamps 32-Bit Windows applications, or Windows applications defining _USE32BITTIMET, can be hit by the year 2038 problem too if they use the timet data type. The _time64t data type had been available since Visual C 7.1, but only Visual C 8 (default with Visual Studio 2015) expanded timet to 64 bits by default. The change will only be effective after a recompilation, legacy applications will continue to be affected. If you live in a 64-Bit world and use a 64-Bit kernel with 64-Bit only applications, you might think you can just ignore the problem. In such a constellation all instances of the standard time_t data type for system calls, libraries and applications are signed 64-Bit Integers which will overflow in around 292 billion years. But many data formats, file systems and network protocols still specify 32-Bit time fields, and you might have to read/write this data or talk to legacy systems after 2038. So solving the problem on your side alone is not enough. Then the article goes on to describe how all of this will break your file systems. Not to mention your databases and other file formats.

In the case of corruption, a few applications (e.g., Log-Cabin, ZooKeeper) can use checksums and redundancy to recover, leading to a correct behavior; however, when the corruption is transformed into an error, these applications crash, resulting in reduced availability. ***
