100+ days of runtime on nearly 40 year old hardware not designed as a server exposed to all of the garbage coming in on port 80.

Remember, this is a home computer from the mid 1980s. This thing is way outside of it's duty cycle. And the software is holding up pretty well too, even during what is effectively a DoS attack on a DOS machine.

Oh they mean a real web server exposed to the internet (not hiding behind an NGINX). Impressive.

Hug of death means I didn’t see the article

Wow expectations sure have come down! When that computer was new, people had uptimes measured in years, 100 days was pedestrian.

And we were all on HN 40 years ago huh?

Well it’s about a computer from 40 years ago! That’s why I don’t see what’s so special; any computer from that era that still works today could easily run for a hundred days.
