I have #pacman checking for updates every time I log in with a terminal, but I wonder if there is a way for it to also check that the mirrors it is getting updates from are actually being actively updated.

I guess if you are running #ArchLinux, you need to manually update your pacman mirrorlist every decade or so when all of the servers stop responding or no longer update with the latest releases. After 10 years of it chugging along fine, I noticed that I hadn't had any updates over the last month or so.

Lovely seeing someone actually hiring a junior engineer these days, and the job posting is excellently written!
