This is from one of our servers at work. Sadly, I'm in the process of decommissioning it now and will have to shut it down in about two weeks.
About a year ago I decommissioned two Server 2003 systems with higher uptimes than this one (2400+ days) but I didn't have the forethought to take any screenshots.

It would likely be more of a celebration than a funeral, at least on my end. This system (and the 4 others that do the same task) has been a thorn in my side for a while now so it will be bittersweet to power it down. They are file servers that are supposed to be identical due to replication of data, but the replication software is spotty at best so we just have a whole mess of snowflake systems that are a management headache. They are being replaced by a much improved Server 2012 cluster.

When I see that much uptime on a Windows server, all I can think is that it is riddled with security issues. Clearly it hasn't been patched!

running on Heroku
automatic restarts
2h uptime
I don't belong here

Can confirm, 143 pending updates. That includes the update to go from IE7 to IE8 :))
It was designed by my predecessors without any consideration of redundancy or failover so rebooting = downtime. The cluster I've built to replace it can easily be updated, upgraded, or rebooted with zero impact to any of our properties :thumb:

Nice, you beat me. Had a dedicated Debian server reach 4 years of uptime a while ago. The motherboard eventually died and the hosting company (OVH) replaced it. I took me a few minutes to understand why the thing wouldn't boot back up: the Debian distribution was so old that it didn't recognize the network chipset on the new motherboard!
No critical kernel security patch came out during these 4 years so I never needed to reboot it. Now it's back at nearly 600 days up again. My other dedicated server is at about 500 days uptime. I installed many patches but none requiring a reboot.
They're not very critical stuff either: they're Internet facing but mostly used by devs so I'm not losing sleep over these.

My Mac laptop pretty much only restarts when it gets a software update requiring reboot. I had one running on an outdated version of OS X that got up to over a year at some point a few years ago, but my current laptop is only up to 58 days.

my linux laptop pretty much restarts never.
