Yes, it felt silly typing the same things every day and waiting for the computer to update. (If an update takes 4 minutes per day to babysit, that's about 2 hours per month) On Fri, Feb 16, 2024, at 21:10, Lyndon Nerenberg (VE7TFX/VE6BBM) wrote: > Blind updating out of cron is utter madness.

But you guys are sysadmins, I'm basically a 'gamer', I mostly use my OpenBSD computer for an online game. Thus an upgrade problem mostly risks me being late for a 'war', which is not the end of the world. SSH not coming back up is a non-issue, I have screen and keyboard connected. (I'll probably turn off auto-updates when traveling tho as remote access is nice although non-essential.) I also have a second computer I can boot up if this one doesn't work.
