TIL collectd (or RRD maybe) tops out at 1000 days of uptime

Also I should probably do something about this 1000 day+ uptime server

(to be clear, this machine is not involved in my biz, this is just a personal system that doesnt run anything that listens on the network)

A RRD graph going up over a year, but stopping at 999 days, after that the graph is white and empty

@benjojo Inside of a sysadmin there are two wolves: one is attracted to shiny lights and big uptime numbers, the other one thinks about patches and security. 🤣

@lapo I do prefer my data doesnt walk out the door, but this box basically is now my "spare CPU" machine that does boring odd jobs, one example is: Turn my Xonotic demo files into MP4's as I play games :P

A low stakes server

@lapo @benjojo Will it even boot again (into the same state)? 😂

@lx @lapo I think this box is going to be next booted into the e-waste skip anyway

@benjojo
You gotta power cycle one per year to see if any of the capacitors pop.
