Is it bad to keep my host machines to be on for like 3 months? With no down time?
What is the recommend? What do you do?

I boot my big server whenever i need it, everything else is 24/7. I have had no catastrophic failures in either for the last 2-3 years, so it seems to be fine?
Fairly frequently,but no real schedule. 3wks-3months, whenever I get some time to update without it being a problem. Primarily for patching & new kernels reasons but has caught the odd disk issue where btrfs was struggling and I didn’t catch when running.
What uptimes are people looking at right now?
Never? Only when they need physical maintenance
Only when I swap or upgrade internal hardware.
These run 24/7/365.
Fuck that. 3 years uptime and counting.
You’re rebooting them for update right?
right?
When do I shut down?
- When the power goes out and my UPS battery drains.
- When I do a hardware upgrade.
- If I want to rearrange equipment, and also when I moved this past summer.
That’s seriously about it.
