Via email from Dani: It looks like my previous post on my server's uptime has caused some controversy.

I was talking about 519 days it took until the system failed for the first time - not until I booted it for the first time. I actually boot it quite frequently for security updates, yet I absolutely don't regard that as a "system failure".

The message also pointed me to the Uptime Project - an interesting site with some impressive data (uptimes of 3 years and the like) - yet I can't get myself to install an extra piece of software (just) to monitor system uptime and send that info to a central tracking service in order to participate.

You can still get uptime-data for a specific domain from Netcraft - this is the most recent uptime average graph for CORTI.COM:
