Do you think FOSS stacks are made of ice? That they would melt if you don't constantly resupply fresh ice from arctic excursions.

Surely you maintain your start-up tech on F/OSS, as most of the internet does, so just use the person who types 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' on your service to do the same on your local VM.

Or leave keep it local and literally never update it.

It wont melt.

Yes, if you care about things like not getting oWn3d and having your customer data exposed.

The mouth salivates at this prospect.

Yes, please set up your Jenkins server once and never look at it again...
