How often do you update your system? (sh.itjust.works)

I find that I habitually open a terminal and run an update on every boot of my system (which gets rebooted once a day). I'm curious what other people do.

I just click the litte nag icon in my taskbar whenever I notice it.

Since I'm on Debian Testing that is often daily. But it varies. If I don't look at that part of my screen that day, w/e.

I thought I turned on auto update so it would just do it on its own. But it didn't work for whatever reason. Sigh... Linux moment. There is an answer, surely, but the cost of debugging it outweighs my patience. Typing in my password an extra once(ish) a day is fine, I guess.

Edit: Just realized this is the Arch community. D'oh.
