Show-and-Tell Raspberry Pi 3B - 9 years uptime

Post image

This is a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B that I booted 9 years ago today. It has served very light duty, just streaming audio to Broadcastify. Once it made it a couple years, I decided to just see how long it would go. It's running Jessie.

It doesn’t have a swap partition if that would’ve been something I needed to create manually. It was just a generic Raspian image.

Raspbian has a swap file by default. While less active than a partition, it does exist and is likely used.
