<![CDATA[PSA: unattended-upgrades restarted nginx in the middle of my stream]]>Small thing but it got me last week. I relay my stream to twitch through nginx-rtmp on a cheap VPS, and one morning unattended-upgrades pulled a new systemd, needrestart restarted nginx (and postgres, and everything else) and the stream dropped. OBS reconnected fast but twitch counted it as two streams.

default timer is 06:00 UTC + up to 1h random, which is exactly when I stream lol. moved it with a drop-in:

# systemctl edit apt-daily-upgrade.timer
[Timer]
OnCalendar=
OnCalendar=*-*-* 13:45:00 UTC
RandomizedDelaySec=15m

the empty OnCalendar= matters, without it you just add a second time and keep the old one.

anyone else got bitten by this?
