What are you using to keep informed of new software versions? Most of what I’m looking to track is open source and on GitHub but some isn’t. Getting alerts via Google chat or slack or email would be cool.

Not sure if this is even something that exists at the moment.

    I guess I never really thought about this until now. It seems there are 3 kind of softwares I use: softwares installed from package manager (the package manager pops up a notification in the desktop when there’s an update), softwares installed from 3rd party sources (they usually show any available updates in the app’s UI), and softwares installed from docker (no update notifications at all. I just check for update semi-regularly every months or so).

        Thank you for the recommendation. I think I’ll need this at least for my Lemmy instance. I don’t want to miss any emergency security release when Lemmy get hacked again in the future.
