It seems we need to reopen this via https://github.com/amutable/quarry/compare/normal-udpate-timer?expand=1 as a closed PR that got force pushed to can't be reopened(?)


Polling for updates every 2 minutes is far too aggressive. This commit moves the timer to a more reasonable 8h interval with a 30min random spread.

As a side effect of the spread, the first check after boot also only happens after the spread. That is okay for now, but eventually we should have a mode that checks for updates first thing (even before services come up).

With the deployment of the "kickd" varlink based backchannel to
trigger updates by the ACP we no longer need the extremly aggressive
2min update timer. Instead this commit moves to a more reasonable
8h with a 30min spread. As side effect of the spread is that on
boot the first update is also only checked after the spread. That
is okay for now but we should have a mode that checks for updates
first thing (even before servics come up) eventually.
