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.

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Who said it was connected to the internet?

[-] Fox@pawb.social -1 points 10 months ago

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

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Who said it was connected to a network?

[-] Fox@pawb.social 10 points 10 months ago

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

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I dunno. Development? Ask OP.

[-] Fox@pawb.social 3 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] maryjayjay@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Probably a co-lo where different carriers peer.

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Got it. Thanks for explaining.

Developing for a 17 year old router

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

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

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

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.
