I can say, however, that I've reunited with an "old friend" who is still in great shape. Before I get dozens of replies about it being insecure: in theory, it is, but it's not accessible from the outside. It's isolated within its own network and is only able to connect and fetch backups for 'extreme disaster recovery' (only at specific times, restricted by specific firewall rules). It served its purpose today, and tomorrow, it might be even more useful.

It's kept in a sterile, extremely protected room. -

@peterk I think it will stay that way until it will break. They don't want/can't touch it at the moment.

@Glop_glop_pasGlop I've never abandoned Linux, as I have never abandoned the BSDs. I've used all of them over the years 🙂

@nuintari It was 2006, I think (or 2007 at the latest), and I went with a colleague to a company - the same one that, incidentally, gave us some decommissioned Digital AlphaStations. They showed me a machine (not connected to the network, obviously) that they were still using for payroll. I couldn't quite tell what it was exactly, but it was some kind of Unix system and it had been rebooted for the last time... in 1986.
I believe it’s the longest uptime I’ve ever seen. -
