I translated Jared's dnf-automatic instructions into a Salt State successfully, though doing 6 hours instead of 1 day.

Why?
It's a public-facing server, when updates are available I want them done as soon as possible. (for my VPS)
But for others, why not?

Still there after a reboot and is counting down:

Then why not set it to check every minute?
Why pick an arbitrarily long time frame like 6 hours?
My point is, if you are going to break away from default values, what is the good reason for the new value. Not just, "I pulled a 6 out of my ass and it felt good" kind of answer.

It's a fair balance between security and resources.
Checking for available updates four times a day versus once a day... Default values don't imply best values or best practice in any way. -

I thought that six hours was the default? That's what it used to be at least.

Don't know. It's my first time using dnf-automatic.

Oh yeah, default is 300 now not 3600 or whatever.

Just stumbled on @MikeSmithsBrain on Reddit, lol! Small world.

It has never been 6 hours. Both

Anyone experiencing performance issues with the site today?

TL;DR = Since you can't disconnect our stuff until 53 days after our submission due to internal Windstream nonsense, you will be refunding us the charges that are accruing. Also, you can pound sand with your early termination fee, as I sent them a copy of the contract where it clearly states at this point of the agreement, we are month-to-month.

Random and hilarious bit of trivial found on Wikipedia today: "In British English, it was once common for a colon to be followed by a hyphen or dash to indicate a restful pause, in a typographical construction known as the "dog's bollocks", though this usage is now discouraged."
