If a device hasn’t been rebooted in a long time there is a much higher chance of it not coming back after a reboot. This is made worse by the fact that sometimes power loss is unexpected which means that an outage can occur at a bad time.
The other issue is that a high uptime device doesn’t usually have the latest updates installed. Delaying updates creates security issues and when you do get around to updating it means that more things get changed at once.
Having high uptime is not the flex you think it is
You shouldn’t have uptime higher than 60 days
Yeah these days a high uptime is a mark of shame, not a badge of honour.
Why, by the way?
