Today I learned there hasn't been security updates for buster since June 😮 so I urgently upgraded my server, which was a bit risky to do in the evening - I might have ended up all night trying to fix it...
Main thing I was worried about was my mail server (dovecot + postfix), as that's not stuff I know off the top of my head, but thankfully that part of the setup had no issues !
My php websites didn't come back - but all I had to do was install lib-apache2-mod-php and it fixed it.
So all in all a painless upgrade, I worried far more than was warranted!
Now I probably shouldn't wait until 2026 to upgrade to Debian 12... But definitely not a job for tonight!

Not sure if there's a big security risk to keep running on buster for a few more months. Wouldn't say the same for "stretch" or "jessie".
