By that definition, there are almost no production systems in real life. Because what you really, really need is air, warmth and water. Anything else is disposable, a convenience. So what if the internet access breaks - just plug in an old router that's been gathering dust as a temporary measure while you fix the "project" one.

- arpa 10y agoWell that's one way of making your own life difficult. To each his own I suppose. I have no qualms about running multiple services on the same machine as long as it's firewalled sufficiently. That's why we have multi-process and multi-user operating systems after all.
- sofaofthedamned 10y agoExactly. The OS on my gateway only goes down on kernel updates, and I can crontab them (unlike with the ISP supplied box). My son and his mates can put any old malware infested phone on his SSID, but they can't get to my LAN. I can run my gitlab etc without affecting him, apart from QoS - any the latter is something the ISP gateway doesn't even offer. Anybody sufficiently experienced can segregate services on a single box without any worry.
