Not rebooting for security patches isn’t something to be proud of.

On the other hand, network partitioning and security that means you don’t have to reboot an internal device for security patches is something to be proud of.

On my site we have tons of archaic, unpatchable industrial devices.

I have seen a Cisco router with 17 years of uptime in an internet exchange in Canada.

Who needs security patching or maintenance support anyway.

Who said it was connected to the internet?

Who said only internet-facing assets need to be patched?

Who said it was connected to a network?

What would be the point of a router not connected to any network?

I dunno. Development? Ask OP.

This comment thread is about an unpatched router (probably in production) at a Canadian Internet exchange

What’s an internet exchange in this context? I thought it meant an online forum.

Probably a co-lo where different carriers peer.

Got it. Thanks for explaining.

Developing for a 17 year old router

[email protected] on 05 Dec 2023 17:18 collapse

Bro. There are people who are developing in Cobol for 50 year old systems.

There are games still being released for the original, 80s-era Nintendo.

So… yeah. Unlikely? Sure. Impossible? Nope.

It’s not running on 50 year old hardware I can guarantee you that

[email protected] on 06 Dec 2023 16:17 collapse

Uh, yeah, we established that a couple of comments ago. My point is that if people today still develop for 50-year-old hardware, it’s not unreasonable to think that they could be developing for 17 year old hardware.

Frankly, I’m already bored with this conversation. Have a nice evening.

I had a old ubuntu file server running on a PIII that ran for 2ish years. I thought that was impressive, but 6 is pretty awesome for non-enterprise grade hardware.
