I’m having trouble staying on top of updates for my self hosted applications and infrastructure. Not everything has auto updates baked in and some things you may not want to auto update. How do y’all handle this? How do you keep track of vulnerabilities? Are there e.g. feeds for specific applications I can subscribe to via RSS or email?

    I don’t.

    Yeah, hot take, but basically there’s no point to me having to keep track of all that stuff and excessively worry about the dangers of modernity and sacrifice the spare time I have on watching update counter go brrrr of all things, when there’s entire peoples and agencies in charge of it.

    I just run unattended-upgrades (on Debian), pin container image tags to only the major version number where available, run rebuild of containers twice a week, and go enjoy the data and media I built the containers and installed for software for.

      I think the problem is that a lot of people are just running flatpaks, dockers, and third party repos which might not be getting timely updates.

      I try to stick to debian packages for everything as much as possible for this reason.
