title: Decoding a unix timestamp
body: <p>First of all this is my first time posting here so I'm really excited!</p>
  
  <p>I recently got a task to decode a timestamp from one of our legacy systems, and I'm not sure what its encoding.
  From the binary data, it is printed by python as combination of characters in the '\x***' format. </p>
  
  <p>These are two examples for timestamps taken in a 12 minute difference: 
  \x00\xc2\xa8\x1a\\x0b\x02\x16r\x0c<br>
  \x00\xa0$\xb7\x00\x0c\x02\x16r\x0c           </p>
  
  <p>The actual timestamps are 
  1585842509
  1585843216
  respectively, and that's what I would like to get after decoding the strings above</p>
  
  <p>Thanks you all in advance!</p>
