Damn. Really feeling sad about taking it down 
Comments
Damn, that thing has been up more than I've been alive.
For me, uh... let's see, 2013 minus 16.... I'd be 2 years old when it went online. :P
Wow...
If people here were born after 1995...
I feel old.
+1, but 16 YEARS of uptime! Gosh, I don't even know how many providers here have 16 years of life, yet.
I salute this machine.
And I thought my system at home has been up for a long time. 93 days is nothing compared to 6000+ days.
If people here were born after 1995...
I feel old.
Ditto
.
Sign me up for the old cult
I have plenty of things I use around here that likely older than the average LET'er.
16 years solid uptime... Boy, unsure how they pulled that off. Hyper redundant power.
105 days older than me.
Funny you mention this, as the website my dad made when I was born is still alive and kicking, meaning that the operator has transferred it multiple times, without the knowledge of my parents. Recently found it, and 20 odd pictures that my parents haven't seen in years.
Well, I'm older than the uptime, but impressive anyhow.
Still wondering how there has not been a power cut in the last 16 years.
Amazing how the hardware could make it 16 years non-stop. Pentium I? Or even older?
That thing's just under a year older than me... holy shit
Thats how I feel about anyone born in the 90's, period.
I'm an 80's kid, but only by a couple years. But still '90s kids' just sound young. =]
Anywho: http://www.zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/counter/uptimestats-20090104.html 40+ years (14969.3 days), even if it is a bug in the 2.6.* kernel.
On the second page of the linked thread:
I was also curious.
"80's kid" just sounds young to me junior. :P
I wish I were a 60's or 70's kid. That seemed like an interesting time.
I was trying to think of the computer that has the longest uptime, and then suddenly it hit me:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_1
Going on 36 years.
My uptime is 38 years and counting.
Same here.
Crazy, haha.
Well played @raindog308
I've came to know a story of an XXXXXetc hours free of accidents , which was claimed as an amazing achievement by an industrial company, but a relative who worked there told me that just in his short career some accidents happened! And with one life-threatening (liquid gas dropped etc) and an employee got injured in it, but, for some reason their long-running stop watch didn't notice any of it and kept the record![:\](https://lowendtalk.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
That's why I'm unable to totally believe it, nor deny it
except if it's confirmed by a 3rd party.
time to shut it down ?
amazing 16 years uptime
It's toooooooo long.
Bringing up the lovely comic from the OP thread...
damn, I believe i was just at elementary school when this machine went online:)
I read that, and is SAD
is not sad... it is wall-e ! he will change his wheel dont worry :P
awesome uptime, how many time the system was updated / upgraded during 16 years? as I know that some updates require the system reboot.
Just based off of the pictures in the thread showing "Netware v3.12" and "8/12/93"...not many, if any?
was looking forward to the pics of the server but does not seem to have been updated yet.
