This is a great idea. I didn’t see a Linux subway yet, but the process for requesting new lines seems pretty simple.
The “bot” suggested I use RandomSleep. It’s not effortless.
I got the idea to use systemd timers from another answer in this thread and thought I’d help you out with an Ansible playbook.
In any case, I learned at least two things while reading the other replies, so it wasn’t a total waste. (and you got your answer)
What sucks is the attitude you get when trying to help in many Linux communities. It’s a tool, and a very useful one too.
If you knew what you were doing, you could understand the loop just by looking at it, without having to run it, ngl.
I didn’t run it, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an invalid option in it somewhere. Ansible Lightspeed would be a better tool than what I used, but it’s sufficient to get the point across.

That’s a great idea! Learned something new, thanks.

Same here. Our servers are so out of date that we might not have a version of xz with any commits from Jia Tan at all.
I rely on notifications from glsa-check
or my distro’s package manager. I was notified about a problem with xz-utils
on Thursday evening, but didn’t see anyone post about it until Friday morning.
glsa-check
is a command-line tool included with the gentoolkit package in Gentoo Linux. Its primary function is to scan your system for installed packages that are vulnerable according to Gentoo Linux Security Advisories (GLSAs). GLSAs are official notifications from the Gentoo security team about security vulnerabilities that affect packages in the Gentoo repository.
Yeah, it’s probably fine. I also don’t use systemd. I was just pointing out that another rolling release distribution had the affected version.
Red Hat Linux 6.0, back in 1999. It was one of the first distributions to include GNOME as the default desktop environment.
It was also on Gentoo. I had this version installed for a day or two.
I’ve heard good things about copyq, but I sometimes run into compatibility issues with it for some reason. Clipx is also good, straightforward and easy to understand
