Servers / Routers / Firewalls: Never more than 2 weeks to uptake new kernels. I am personally not a fan of live kernel patching for my own things as there could be a landmine not tested by a reboot and hardware issues that a new POST would catch.
Workstations / Laptops: Never more than 1 day. I power down everything at night including layer 2 switches, inverters, the works.
- michaelteter 4y agoIf you do software development, how do you maintain context? I often have terminals open with useful history and logs, plus one or more IDEs, and of course plenty of browser tabs. If I walk up to my machine after a long weekend, within 10 seconds I know where I left off because I can see what I had open and what I was working on. Rebooting daily would require me to develop some additional kind of state management system (not that it would be a bad thing to learn).
- LinuxBender 4y agoI don't do much coding but if I did I would commit my work and make notes in a text file of what I was doing in a TO-DO list of sorts. I have a shell function for taking and reading notes with date/time-stamps. In my former life those notes were in Jira. I used to reside in California in a place with very unstable power so I got into the habit of taking notes and committing often. PG&E the power company would shut off the power any time it got windy.
