DT?

I don't know. People used to brag of long uptimes here.

Usage of these systems has been stable to the nth degree. No hardware
changes. No software changes. Almost zero use and not in the least bit
critical.

I've been the only user on the first box during this time period. I
use it for occasional tasks that could be done elsewhere if really
needed. OK, some monitoring for a short while, which was also stable.

No one's used the second box at all for almost as long.

Don't judge without all the facts.
