Linux

It's like a daedra, it's been on, has always been on, and will be on forever

My laptop has been up for 123 days. It gets put in standby when it's not in use. I should probably reboot into a new kernel soon.
My desktop gets shut down at night because it's power hungry.
My server gets shut down about once a year for cleaning and hardware upgrades.

up 1 day, 8 hours, 2 minutes

It depends. Sometimes I shut it down every night. Occasionally, I'll leave it in sleep mode for a few days.

I think the longest uptime I've had on anything I've owned is probably a month or so on a Raspberry Pi 4 server I used to have running with a personal Mediawiki instance (I still have the Pi, but if I ran a server in my dorm, I have the feeling someone might come to bite off my hand).

I have an Nvidia GPU and suspend/resume works about 20% of the time so my PC is shutdown every time I won't use it for a few hours. Don't use my personal computer that much so it doesn't really bother me a lot. My laptop is however long the battery lasts with the lid closed, I don't use it much so most times I pick it up it's dead.

My Arch system stays on until a firmware package needs an update. Then i cry and scream bc it's only been a month since the last one. Also I just updated a bunch of those, so my system has not been on long.

Uptime: 9 days, 13 hours, 36 mins

7 days currently, 30 days on the previous boot. I had to open it up to install extra drives.

07:38:25 up 15 days, 15:54, 2 users, load average: 2,93, 2,24, 1,65

I turn mine off to save power when I'm not actively using it. I have a small 65 watt server that stays on all the time. Currently it has been up for 3 months or so.

I reboot mine when I'm bored

I never turn it off it gets an occasional reset when updates need to be installed but that's about it

I think my desktop has been on the past couple days because I've been too lazy to turn it off because I caught the flu and basically slept the past couple days away.

Only a few days, maybe 12 if I had to guess. Im running with memory overcommit disabled and building a rust project with vscode and Firefox open will hang the kernel eventually. I caved to the kernel's expectations and set up a swap partition but it still dies.

I should say it's been on for probably 2 years straight ignoring reboots

Last time it was off was during the summer holidays.

Uptime: 26d 17h 44m

I have a well-fenced server that I inherited 20 years ago and, but for power outages, has been in operation throughout. It survived a p2v but will not survive the coming v2v. #rhel4 #vmscare

I have a drive that's roughly 13 years old, and has around 11 years 80 days of power on time if that says how much my computer is on.

I only restart it when windows updates start fucking with my networking or my audio drives entirely shit the bed.

As of today about 10 years not counting the odd driver restart

I had about 300 days of uptime on my server but I did some hardware maintenance recently. I'm back up to like 20 but I need to do more stuff.

I did find a fun "bug" the other day with windows and how it tracks uptime. Since shutting down hibernates the kernel it doesn't treat it as time off. So when I fired up this surface I hadn't used in a long time it had 180 days of uptime.

My main PC only stays on for a couple days at a time (on sleep/hibernate when not in use) only because I'm generally too lazy to shut all programs down. I reboot on updates though, which is every couple days.

I have all my devices set to reboot once weekly a few hours after daily scheduled updates. I probably don't need to do this, but I do. It's a habit I got in with scheduling router reboots, and then started extending it to other devices. It's nice to have some solid uptime, but I have three unbound DNS servers in sequence so they update and reboot on a staggered schedule so it's like they never go down.

You never know when the odd cosmic ray is gonna hit and flip yer bits.

Thanks to Mint's updates... about 10 minutes.

55 days, 34 mins

Edit: my Mac mini (the torrent client) is 199 days.

12 days and 17 hours. As another commenter pointed out, checked with uptime

I turn it off every night or if I'm away for many hours, so about 10 minutes right now.

I do have a Raspberry Pi that's been up 12 weeks, 5 days, 19 hours, 59 minutes. I believe there was a planned power outage when it was lasted turned off.

Mine turned off yesterday for an update.

There was a period where I was testing my laptop's hibernation so I got uptime to around 30 days.

But now, The highest uptime I can reach is around 2-3 days if I forget to turn it off and leave it either plugged in or on a high battery so it lasts until the next day.

I'm surprised how many people turn their computers off. My desktop uptime is 4 day, but, I do put it to sleep at night (which I think counts towards its uptime).

I will look into hibernating. The reason I don't shut down is because I usually end up with carefully placed windows and lots of ongoing projects all over. Restarting would mean I'd have to start all that up again - assuming I remember what I was doing.

Today I learned the inxi command does so much more than I thought. I've only used it to check on my RAM once

One or two of my computers have been on for about five years. The laptop I use mostly has been on for several months. But I'm a very teched-up person. I've got computers in various forms all over the place. Actually less nowadays compared to many years ago. I don't shut anything down because I've got various services in operation 24/7.
