So I have had mixed results with unattended upgrades on Debian based distros. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. It turns out that sometimes you need to enable it though dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades

Kind of glad i dont have to worry about stuff like this anymore, but i do sympathize as a former debian user.
Moved to the countryside and stopped using computers? Or why don’t you need to worry about automatic updates? Are you the boss and other people do the worrying? Or do you use one of those immutable distros and now worry in a different way?
well, with stuff like this i meant
dpkg-reconfigure, since i switched to nixos where configuring and setting up basically means adding/editing a couple of lines in/etc/nixos/configuration.nix. For automatic system updates for example, i just had to add:system.autoUpgrade.enable = true;and done. Nicest way to configure and manage a system i’ve experienced yet.Don’t all these edits create huge snapshots or what is called in nixos ?
not really an issue with a few more lines of configuration
nix.gc = { automatic = true; dates = "weekly"; options = "--delete-older-than 30d"; };Nice!
What do you use?
