He's near impossible to take for a walk too, minute he sees another dog he just darts for it and he's like 110lbs. Still have a huge burn mark on my hand from the leash when he did it last time. They really need to figure out a way to train him to stop doing that.

Or you can stop being a girly man. Let me introduce to you, Hans and Franz.

We are gonna fuck you up.

Whoa! Whoa! Language!

Back.

Dog was much better today. Turns out I need to use a harness to walk him not just the leash. He pulls less with harness and is easier to control. Only went for 3 short walks given how hot it is, and he's black so it's hard on him. But hopefully I burned enough energy so the night shift sitter has an easy enough night.

That is definitely too much viagra.

My NAS is sitting at 1136 days lol.

[root@isengard ~]# uptime
18:01:28 up 1136 days,  4:31,  1 user,  load average: 0.69, 0.70, 0.60
[root@isengard ~]#

My web server wins though.

18:03:05 up 2502 days, 16:41,  1 user,  load average: 0.15, 0.33, 0.33

I'm kind of scared to reboot that box, it's a leased server so I don't have physical access to it if it does not come back up on it's own. I usually never reboot my web server for that reason. I am due for an upgrade though, only way I "reboot" is when I migrate to a whole new box. I usually do a final reboot before everything goes live then I switch DNS records over to the new IP.

Ideally I should have diversity so that I can actually reboot without downtime but my stuff is not really important enough for that.

I'm talking about my main rig. I'm not sure how long my home server has been up.

I'm talking about my main rig. I'm not sure how long my home server has been up.

So, I go to check on how long it has been up. I switch over to the server. Plex is acting all squirrelly. After playing around trying to troubleshoot, I decide to reboot. Then it hits me. I didn't check the uptime. LOL

Anyways, it doesn't matter anyways. Just a few days ago I fixed a space issue on my 128GB SSD in the homer server. I just deleted the page file. Of course, I had to reboot. So, no great uptime. Just a couple of days. I really planned to upgrade the server by now. I do have an unused 960 Pro 512GB NVMe that I could use. But then I'd better upgrade my OS. Windows 7 is not as stable. Of course, then I'd have to spend a lot of time configuring everything. I'm thinking about it so I guess it will be coming soon. Bah!

 

[bigboxes]

I think that M$ needed to be rebooted more than anything.

 

[Red Squirrel]

MS is horrible for needing to be rebooted, you would think after like 30 years they would have figured out their shit. That and updates are still horrible. They are slow, super invasive, and overall horribly done. Linux has the right idea with how they just update all packages and you can do other things while it updates, and it rarely requires a reboot.

My Windows 10 rig is at 68 days. That's very stable. I'm just talking about Windows 7. I've noticed that Plex is problematic. I'm not sure of the reason.

 

[shortylickens]

The server versions of windows COULD be set up to run for years without reboots, but not with the default settings. Windows 95 and 98 flat out NEED to be rebooted regularly. In fact for many of us they actually had to be reinstalled once in a blue moon.
I wont lie, in some ways the Macintosh was superior. You spend a lot more money to get something slightly more reliable, but for some of us that was worth it. My only real complaint with the Mac was a lack of decent games.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Oh man 98 was bad for that. I was reinstalling that like every 2 weeks lol. The more you used it, the more it got "used up" and just got sluggish and started crashing more. It's like it was rated for only so many run time hours or something. It's weird how it would just randomly lock up for no reason or BSOD etc too. That got worse as the installation aged.

At the same time win98 brings me an odd sense of nostalgia as it was pretty much the first major OS I used. I used win 3.11 for a bit but 98 is what I spent most time on. 95 a bit too.

 

[shortylickens]

Well, if you reinstalled every two weeks I'm sorry to say it sounds like something you were doing wrong, not Microsoft. But once a year seems totally reasonable to me now that I think about it. And it never ran more than a week without a restart. And it tended to get slower as time went on for no reason I ever learned.
WinXP was a huge improvement, but not perfect.
In all honesty I found Windows 7 to be the major leap forward in terms of speed and reliability. Every version after that just seems to be a cash grab.

 

[Red Squirrel]

No I just hated when it got slow, and it did not take long for that to happen, so I'd just reinstall. Win98 was weird like that. I did not really "do" much, I just used it. Played games, coded, etc. Regular computer stuff. It's just that I was using it A LOT.

The ones in school were the same deal, you walk in the computer lab and like half of them were frozen or BSODed lol.

 

[shortylickens]

We finally got what I wanted. A nice slow trickle that will soak the grass and the garden without washing it away.
And its warm too.
It was so light I didnt even hear it inside the house.
