Behind the simple but not-unappealing website of Brutman Labs, there are some surprising features and statistics. In a recent update posted to the site, it was revealed that the server behind the web destination has run for an impressive "2,500 hours of continuous runtime." However, probably far more eyebrow-raising is the fact that the web server is a 39-year-old IBM PCjr that's packing a 4.77 MHz CPU.
The Brutman Labs web page is subtitled "retrocomputing performance art," and we think that may be due to the incongruence between the ancient hardware and the capable and steady web serving achieved. At the time of writing, the server status page reveals that the beige IBM computing fossil has continuously been doing its duty for 2,541 hours+. That is over 105 days straight, with no restarts.
