Also just as a hint, you don’t need `yay -Syyu`. Just use `yay` without any arguments for updates. As a default `yay` hands down `-Syu` to pacman.

The double `yy` in `-Syyu` also is not needed. Those flags are handed down to pacman by yay. It forces a refresh of the pacman database, even if nothing has changed. That is usually not necessary and puts more stress on a repo than it needs to.
