How do you keep track of vulnerabilities? (lemmy.world)

I'm having trouble staying on top of updates for my self hosted applications and infrastructure. Not everything has auto updates baked in and some things you may not want to auto update. How do y'all handle this? How do you keep track of vulnerabilities? Are there e.g. feeds for specific applications I can subscribe to via RSS or email?

I put all my data on a NAS with non-writable snapshots so hackers cannot destroy my data.

What happens if they compromise your device in secret and use it as part of a botnet? Lots of state backed attacks rely on traffic relays provided by compromised devices.

My NAS is behind a firewall and doesn't normally run the types of things you would compromise. (no web browser). They need to break many things at the same time to compromise it. I'm not saying it would be impossible to compromise my NAS, but is is very unlikely just because of how difficult it is. If I'm target of a state level attack I'm sunk anyway.

though offline backups are always a good idea. However they by definition need several days to restore (if they take less than that they are too easy for an attacker to target)
