How often do you update software on your servers? - tchncs

Or asked the other way around: How long do you keep your servers running without installing any software updates? update means something like sudo dnf update or something … apt-get upgrade apt-get update

Well, one of the reasons I’m using debian on my server is so I can kinda forget about it…

I’ll update maybe once a month, or every couple months. I don’t always restart though, so my kernel is probably a bit behind :'D

That’s… Not how it works… Debian is “stable” not “secure”. You use Debian so that is easier to run updates frequently since they’ll be unlikely to break things.

If I wanted to run updates frequently I would run arch lmao. Even if I did apt update every day, debian stable doesn’t get that many updates.

I could just run auto-update but meh.

You’re not updating for features you’re updating for bug and security fixes. That’s why Debian stable doesn’t have many updates. But the ones they do are typically important.

Yeah, I know. Until I get ransomware’d and my nudes leaked, I won’t care 💅🏻✨
Clearly you don’t know.
I guess people smoke because they don’t know smoking causes cancer ;3
