I've been keeping my desktop machines running 24/7 for ~25 years. I only reboot when necessary.
I remember having around 280 days of uptime on Windows 7 when it went end of life. Having a UPS helps a lot to protect against short power outages or blips.
Nowadays I run Arch Linux, it's been 12 days since a reboot. Not trying to break records, I reboot to apply kernel updates when it's convenient. Since I use tmux and have terminal heavy workflows it takes 1 command and a few seconds to resurrect all of my sessions to get back to where I was at before.
- chimpanzee2 3mo ago> 24/7 for ~25 years r u ok?

- nickjj 3mo agoYes, so are the hardware components. Current machine has been running since 2014. SMART stats on the SSD shows 100,586 powered on hours which is 4,191 days.
- chimpanzee2 3mo agoHave you also measured TBW on your SSD?
- nickjj 3mo agoSMART stats shows it's at 54% health remaining, all tests passed without errors. The drive might be too old to report back TBW. It's a Crucial 256 GB SATA 3.1 SSD. It has LBAs written which is 138292009426. The sector size is 512 bytes. I think you can calculate TBW from that? (138292009426 * 512) / 1000000000000 = ~70.8 TB written?
- winstonwinston 3mo agoYes, and I have 250GB Evo Samsung with similar stats, of same age and power on time.
