When your laptop dies it's gonna be a pretty long outage too.

I have two old machines that also work as NAS systems at my brother's and my parents house... it will just failover.

I have this theory of something I call “importance radiation.”

An old mini PC running a home media server and a Minecraft server will run flawlessly forever. Put something of any business importance on it and it will fail tomorrow.
