I think its nine days (on my server). The power went out about nine days ago, or it would have been more like 20 days. On the computer I'm using right now, its 1:59. I just restarted to see if it worked when i tried to change my boot loader to LILO.

just a guess, but is VoidMain's uptime around 501 days on 1 of his servers?

Ooooh, you just hit a nerve.  It *would* have been more than 501 days by now but at around day 495 there was a really bad storm where the power went out at the data center for around 6 hours, and the UPS obviously didn't last it out!!!!!!!  Current back down to a miserable 9 days.

I'm pretty sure you woul have been at 501... because on June 1 you said that your computer had been up for 479 days (http://forum.fuckmicrosoft.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000334)... now its 22 days later.

Ok, 501 it is, minus 9 equals roughly 492 days when she went down....  But it's been many many years since my last multivariable calculus class..

I'm in Grade 9, we dont have multi-variable calculus class and i still figured it out pretty quick.

It was in college where I took Multivariable Calculus (that was after Calc I, II, and III, though).  But it was because my mind is going from age (and the few beers earlier) that I couldn't subtract 9 from 501.  (http://smile.gif)

My iMac 233 webserver has been up and running for over a year now with no problems. My main computer has only crashed once due to some bad code while I was programming.

Granted, I did have a time for repairs when a power cable went bad, but that's not the OS's fault so I don't count it  (http://tongue.gif)

From Planecrash, the workhorse Linux-PPC server here at fuckMicrosoft.com HQ, running on an old Power Macintosh 9500 with a G3/350 chip:

 11:34pm  up 76 days, 15:00,  3 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

. . . OK, the 0.00 load doesn't really make it look like much of a "workhorse" right now, I admit.    :rolleyes:

Life sucks, two days ago bzflag 1.7e6 froze my screen, and nothing would unfreeze it, including killing x and bzflag thru ssh. So Im down to 2 days again, oh well.

There was a huge ass thunderstorm this morning that wiped out the power numerous times. So i'm back down  to about 2 hours.

Title: What's your uptime?
Post by: voidmain on 26 June 2002, 22:34

I'm back up to 14 days. Only 487 more days to go to catch up to where I was before the extended power outage.

down to 1day -- saw CERT advisories and installed security upsates.

Post by: voidmain on 30 June 2002, 00:38

You didn't see any CERT advisories that would have caused you to have to reboot.  I continually keep my systems patched, and without rebooting them.
