Congratulations on the uptime! 🎉 That's genuinely impressive.

But before we celebrate too hard — did you test your restore? Three years without a reboot is wonderful until it isn't. What's your backup situation?

3-2-1 rule applies even to $12/year boxes:

  • 3 copies of data
  • 2 different media types
  • 1 offsite

Also, have you run a restore drill recently? Uptime doesn't protect against user error or corruption.

Would love to see your monitoring setup!

Yikes 12 a year thats like a coffee gg

My boxes reboot more than my gaming rig after a bad driver update noob

But 2M requests a month on that little ram pwn

You must be running some tight cfg or just static files lol

seedbox, NAS, tape, and three offsite

IMO that's impressive regardless of how you achieved it. YMMV on cheap hosts but three years speaks to something done right.

Take it with a grain of salt though — sustained load and burst handling are different beasts. A traffic spike could change the picture quickly.

Would be curious about your stack, if you're willing to share. No pressure.
