I have been going strong for 34 days and 5 hours.
You can check by running inxi in the command line or checking the CPU in Mission Center
It’s off right now.
Also, inxi? Better use
uptime, that command is actually available on all systems and literally exists to check uptime.Mine turned off yesterday for an update.
53 min
12 days and 17 hours. As another commenter pointed out, checked with
uptimeAbout 90 mins. I shut it down when i finish every and turn it off at the wall (fuskibg standby LEDs). I can go days without booting it back up. I use #LMDE
Flashing standby light on my monitor drives me nuts let alone the bajillion standby LEDs that would be on in our lounge if we didn’t turn everything off at the wall every night.
You can get power strips that will sense the load on one outlet and shut all the others off if the load is below a certain amount. They are handy for shutting off those annoying standby LEDs automatically.
07:38:25 up 15 days, 15:54, 2 users, load average: 2,93, 2,24, 1,6534 days without booting? Are you using a Debian system and don’t update often? You should, for security patches at least. I’m on an Arch based system and update every day. Sometimes there are updates that require a reboot, so all services are up to date. My system is often up for a few days, sometimes even for a week.
Small tip, logging out and in will have a semi clean environment without a full boot. That means the uptime won’t reset.
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.
i’ve been shutting down linux desktops most every day lately, and turning them on only when i want to use one.
I’m convinced the reason all my drives used to fail is because I would leave the PC on, and only reboot for updates. Otherwise I would just put them to sleep. Three years later, I turn off the PC every night and haven’t had a failed drive since.
even when your pc is on, the drives should power off when they haven’t been utilized for a while. i used to keep my machines running 24/7, and i mean not even letting them sleep, and i have never had a drive fail. since electricity prices started going up i let them autosuspend to save money. if you have mechanical hard drives, make sure they are mounted in a proper orientation. with SSDs, there are lots of manufacturers out there, so choose a reputable one.
22:57:20 up 70 days, 16:04, 21 users, load average: 1.10, 1.14, 1.02Honestly if you were expecting a drive failure in three years, you probably have some other problem. The SSD in my desktop is clocking 7.3 years and I never shut down my machines except to reboot. On my servers, I have run used HDDs from ebay for up to ten years (only retired for upgrades). My NAS is currently running a mixture of used drives from Ebay and some refurbs from Amazon, and I don’t anticipate seeing any issues for at least a few more years.
That was my family’s email server 5 months ago:
So roughly 2500 days today 🙂
As AOL guy once said
“You got mail”
Damnn what an uptime! Cheer to that!
I always shut it down every night, so usually not much more than 12 hours at best.
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.On any command line you can likely just run a single letter command:
wBlueEther@BlueEthers-MacBook-Air ~ % uptime 17:18 up 47 days, 6:26, 2 users, load averages: 2.19 2.61 2.56blueaether@lemmy:~$ uptime 04:25:37 up 204 days, 19:45, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.15, 0.16The TV/server has been up for 38 days, I think it got turned off by mistake last month
