We have that, it’s called the Unix epoch, and the only thing it doesn’t account for is time dilation due to relativity.

If your system hasn’t been upgraded to 64-bit types by 2038, you’d deserve your overflow bug

Let’s just nake it 128-Bit so it’s not our problem anymore.
Hell, let’s make it 256-Bit because it sounds like AES256

64 bits is already enough not to overflow for 292 billion years. That’s longer than the anticipated age of the universe.

I know, but it’s not standard anywhere in the world.
