No you can't, because leap seconds affect UTC as well. We don't know how many leap seconds are going to be added or subtracted between now and then.

- haberman 13y agoIt does not matter, because leap seconds do not affect the UNIX timestamp <-> UTC mapping. That is the whole point of what I am saying. The UNIX timestamp for 2023-01-01 00:00 UTC is 1672560000. I can tell you that right now even though I do not know how many leap seconds will be added between now and then.
- CanSpice 13y agoHuh. I didn't know that the UNIX timestamp essentially gets recalculated at UTC midnight every day to ensure that midnight now = midnight yesterday + 86400. I take back my previous argument.
