So how do you apply the latest DOS security patches without rebooting?


I'm sure I can go for a few more years until the next patch ...

On a more serious note, the web server is the problem here. I've tried to run long periods of time before but eventually it would crash. I finally found a 10+ year old parsing bug that wasn't handling quoting correctly, and it was some sort of crypto coin mining JSON request that tripped the bug. So even what I thought was bullet proof years ago turned out to be broken by changes in the user traffic.


This is a priceless anecdote, thanks for sharing!
