2022-03-21 | Make download timer fire "randomly" one per hour | Adam Spragg | |
Not "randomly" per se (see FixedRandomDelay docs in systemd.timer(7) for more info) but don't have every user of this application all hammer the repo exactly on the hour, every hour. See variants on the "Thundering Herd" problem for more info. | |||
2022-03-17 | Change the download service to run hourly | Adam Spragg | |
Checking for new updates isn't resource-intensive, and the downloads will happen one way or another - this just makes them happen sooner. The main change here is that the desktop notification will happen sooner, and once per hour. I think this is reasonable, as XDG notifications don't interrupt the user's workflow, don't steal focus, and don't even need to be dismissed. It's just a heads-up, and a low-level reminder. | |||
