It’s days like this where I’m happy I’m unemployed. I have a group chat with a few friends and they’re pushing out patches and it’s a bit of a rush.
All my publicly accessible servers update every 6 hours and reboot after whenever they need to. It’s rare I need to step in and fix something. I checked a few hours ago and I’m not at risk.
