       Forgot my #NAS running #FreeBSD for quite some time now...That is the greatest thing a admin can receive: A system that just works without me fiddling with it forever.Just did the upgrades and all is well again.#FreeBSD just works and works and works... :freebsd:

       @jhx I read on reddit sometime back that he ran a FreeBSD server with aome software as a consultant (client place) and later had moved on from the company.Apparently that system was running for 15 years and the original client reached out to him personally for some query.FreeBSD just works :)

       @shanmukhateja @jhx Far from me to dampen your joy but did the system get updated, what kind of application (often the culprit) are running on it?Because if you just think about the OS, it is not unusual to see relics still running in prod. One of my customers has some fossil again today (rhel 3 AS and even windows 2003)so you know...

       @petit_suisse @shanmukhateja It lagged behing 3 weeks of updates - nothing I'd call ancient in any form. FreeBSD 14 amd64.It just showed that BSD systems run without much interaction at all.It is a NAS first and foremost with packages like Samba, vsftpd, Jails and some fun stuff to tinker with - completly excluded from the outside world. It only serves my own needs in a isolated local network.So, not ancient at all 😉 I sure know some pretty old stuff myself from customers... which never learn... let's just say that we also deal with a NT system and a crusty old 98 box... and yes, we have already told the customer 10000 times about the problem... but yeah... it is what it is. (At least we don't have to take the fall)
