Dates that far into the future don't seem to work with the date on 32-bit Linux.

Fun idea otherwise. You should report back in a month or so if you're still using it.

I had to reinstall with 32-bit to use a document scanner, so this became a problem for me. What I did was punch my 2074 date into a online converter, and use that generated date:

 - DEATH_DATE=`date --date='9 August 2074' +%s`
+ # DEATH_DATE=`date --date='9 August 2074' +%s`
+ DEATH_DATE="3300998400"
