The number of reported security vulnerabilities has gone up drastically. And so has the frequency, number, and volume of security patches. Which also makes the gap between fully supported distributions and ones with only partial security support larger. (Not every distribution provides full security upddates for the full announced life time of a release.)

How are you folks reacting to this?

I've certainly been remembering to update everytime I'm on my PC now.

It made me automate the process of updating that junk heap I call a homelab: the OS, the flatpaks, the docker images.

But then you don't get the satisfaction of feeling like an admin.

I've also been keeping my unplugged most the time now even though I haven't opened up any ports or made an attempt to set up a way to communicate with my servers services outside of lan.

I was just getting it finished for all the stuff I need locally and everything else involves talking to the scary outside world and I think I'll wait on that for a little. I just finished my esphome display too which now can only tell me the temp, without the server.

I figure maybe in a few months to six months a lot of the security flaws in most things should of been addressed and I can probably bring my shit box to its full potential. I have a real GPU in mine I haven't even got to really use besides testing llms and image gen, or trying out frigate ai features with my cat.
