How often do you update your system?
I find that I habitually open a terminal and run an update on every boot of my system (which gets rebooted once a day). I'm curious what other people do.

Every time I install a package, or once a month.
I use a script that shows new Arch news messages, updates the mirrorlist with the fastest mirrors in my country, updates repo packages, updates aur packages, then prints created .pacnew and .pacsave files as well as orphaned and dropped packages.I use a script that shows new Arch news messages, updates the mirrorlist with the fastest mirrors in my country, updates repo packages, updates aur packages, then prints created .pacnew and .pacsave files as well as orphaned and dropped packages.
Would you mind sharing that script?
It's not very sophisticated and has no error handling, but I only run it locally...
