I hope my Debian server doesn't get Candy Crush Saga now ;)

[bradleystannard]

nothing better than checking youtube notifications and seeing LTS

[drumpfall]

good advice. I do the same on all my DO servers.

[jinksy]

simple but effective, just wish i could give you more thumbs up.

I agree completely. There was a survey of security professionals about their top recommendations, and #1 was to install patches. Since I will not refuse to install a security patch, why not do it automatically?

3:48 Do you mean "...if there was a flaw, for example, in a-PATCH-y???"

[PCamper]

Do you recommend this for non-public facing raspberry pi?

[kngjulien_]

Does this work with any linux distro or do I have to run a debian server?

Hi Lawrence, may i ask what Terminal your using and how you styled it to look alike @3:28 Thanks

I'm more of an Ubuntu guy and love using Unattended Upgrades and Canonical's newer Kernel Livepatch service. Currently only on my LAN server though, as it's paid for more than three computers :-/

Thanks for the video though! I enabled it on my public facing proxy server and my web server in the cloud!

i dont do unattended updates, since 2002... I was bitten... update hosed the system, a bad kernel was pushed out, dev server stopped working when rebooted, tried another box, yep it too went byebyes, updates reverted on all other machines to prevent stress, never again do I do it, I run update manually on dev box, if no bad consequences, I push hte updates locally out to all the boxes, sure it may be 17 years ago, but... fuck with me once shame on you, fuck with me twice, shame on me.
