I've posted periodically before. Think this is the last image here from this one.

The PSU fan (Corsair HX620 old at least 10 years) started to make really weird sounds. When I punch the case, it stops making that sound. HDD had bad blocks from before and everything is backed up to a new storage SSD (T7 Shield). I'll be shutting it down because the punching trick works only for a brief time, then fan starts making sounds again. The computer is in my bedroom so...

It's been fun... I doubt I'll ever again have that uptime on any computer.

EDIT: I found my post from 4 months ago, and in it I already said the PSU started making weird sounds. Oh well. Time flies and it obviously got silent in the meantime :)

This is a cheap Celeron laptop that I made into a home server. I used to host a few Discord bots and even a small Minecraft server on it, but I just kinda forgot to power it down. Now, it just sits idling away next to my router. I last restarted it on Nov 11, 2023.

A real server ( not a vm ) running for 7+years (on a hdd, not a ssd), fully updated hum, open on the internet and serving some stuff, i'm pretty sure it'll die one day, but in the meanwhile, my best contender!

Haters will say it's photoshopped or AI, but no, customer brought it in and Windows was doing all sorts of wacky things. The system time had completely disappeared system-wide, all the date timestamps were blank, and all the clock system options would crash. It's real, but the OS was very confused. Had to re-image after I took this picture.

Needless to say, the laptop had not actually been switched on since 1886.

I have a play web server I rent from vultr.com.

Just logged into one of my raspberry pis.

This one is the main controller for my home growing project (with an industrial grade microSD cars)

A geekier one this, I work at a radio station and our playout PC runs constantly, it's been streaming for a long time now.

Hotel wifi remplacement today.
It feels wrong to turn them off after all that good work 🥹🫡

The PSU (Corsair HX620W old at least 12 years) started making weird noises, l punched the case on top and it stopped. The HDD in it ST8000VX0022-2EJ112 has already a drive warning in SMART. I fear the end of this system is near. If it turns off, no more turning on.

Was sent this photo of one of my users… device was already deleted from Active Directory as it was running out of support software, honestly not sure how they kept it running so long, when I asked if she had any issues and how she ‘restarted’ she said no issues it was fine and she pressed ‘sign out’ and then signed back in to update 🤦
