So you never apply patches or updates, that seems like an odd thing to be proud of but different strokes for different folks I guess.
It's not internet facing and no port is opened, all it does is fire up a notification if/when something doesn't reply.
Even in the unlikely scenario that someone gain access to it (nobody did in the last ~4 years) that means that my VPN is already compromised and I've got bigger problems to worry about.
Makes sense but even then i would just run automatic updates every few months. Just to keep best practice. Nonetheless cool uptime, now do 10 years :)
Well now it's becoming kind of a challenge: will AWS terminate/migrate the instance at some point, or will I be forced to reboot?
