@nixCraft I mean you could and probably should automate that at this point, both for the host and whatever containers/VMs/statically compiled apps/etc you might be running, because the time window between when an update for an exploit being released, and it being actively widely exploited in the wild, is getting shorter and shorter every day, and it's making me nervous
