New years day is always a holiday that doesn't fall on any other day of the calendar. It's just kind of its own thing. No idea how that would actually work irl but that is usually how this proposal is explained.

We just shut down the servers for one day a year and reboot all of them. How hard can it be?

Ok, and we just don’t process any of the data from that day, ever?

what happens on new years stays in new years

I like this idea more and more. All computers off, noone is allowed to work, just a big new years party for everyone.

Let's be honest, we all could do with a bit less data processing.
