I think you meant to remove the word "zero" from the above uptime
sentence, or perhaps change "uptime" to "zero downtime".

I know two internal machines serving files with these uptime numbers:
$ date
Wed Jul 14 14:14:28 EDT 2021
$ uptime
14:14:29 up 746 days, 21:37, 1 user, load average: 0.09, 0.08, 0.01
$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
Release: 10.04
Codename: lucid
When one doesn't need to do reboots to install updates, one can be up
essentially forever using Linux.
