That's either an impressive UPS or an impressively low power server. Either way, congrats!

In a critical environment the UPS only has to last as long as it takes to switch over to a backup generator.

- Uptime : up 2 weeks, 5 days, 2 hours, 7 minutes
Had to reboot due to Jellyfin weirdness, It's not happened since so maybe it was patched whatever happened.
They screwed up their upgrade script in the release around then. I spent an hour manually fixing it on my system. Iβd imagine they sorted it with a point release shortly after but I havenβt checked.
I had to reboot since i upgraded nvidea and jellyfin stopped transcoding.
step 1: sudo apt install sl
step 2: fuck up
step 3: ???
step 4: profit!!!!
Won't work for me, I am more of a ";l" guy, I have the good direction, but wrong starting point 90%of the time π₯²

Thatβs ridiculous. Itβs much more complicated than that.
You need to check NUT.
how long since the boss has been asleep so you can finally restart without them calling two seconds later cause they didn't bother reading the scheduled downtime email
On my Gentoo server, uptime:
- 21:47:56 up 2455 days, 15:09, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00
Solid.
Would have been double that by now if not for the fire.
You forgot to say "this is fine", I take it?
Joking aside, I hope you didn't lose anything. Was it a big fire?
Those who manage the dedicated server racks service kept my stuff intact. Thankfully. Just disrupted my uptime.
[User "error" since, has cost me a TB of data. "Error", fearquoted, because it was intentional... probably unnecessary clearing of space, partly regretted since.]
I don't know how big the fire was, happened over 1000 miles away from here.
So, it really was fine. :3

I have a LXQt on my Termux, running on my android phone, and I am really happy with it (even though I use it for jack shit)
I've got an OpenBSD based router with ~4 hours of battery backup. If I ever stopped futzing around with it, the uptime would be fairly close to when the last version update was. (They've got a release cadence of about 6 months).
Hardware errors often cause system instability hence this is false.
