  1. CW: Hosting recommendation

    I heard about inaccessibility of #DreamHost, a hosting platform preferred by many blind users for some reason.
    If you want to migrate, don't know where and you want great support, free websites migration and #CPanel, there's #A2Hosting. I've been with them for twelve, nearly thirteen years now, and they still have great and extremely helpful support, a plethora of #PHP versions from 4.4 to the most recent 8.3, one-click installer for many popular software like #WordPress, an optimization plugin for WP of their own, support for more technologies like #Python, #Ruby, #NodeJS, different solutions for your needs starting from the very basic shared hosting to the most requiring dedicated servers.
    I'm not affiliated with the company, they don't pay me a cent, but if you find my suggestion useful, you can use my referral link while signing up:
    a2hosting.com/refer/38061.
    If you don't want to do that, no pressure, just go to a2hosting.com/ and find out on your own.
    Oh, and they have email, PHPMyAdmin for your lovely Maria (or PhpPgAdmin if you prefer PostGres), SSH access and many more!

  2. Pro tip: you can upgrade #DreamCompute's #Debian11 image to #Debian12, I just did it a few hours ago by following #Debian's release notes upgrade guide. There might be a #Linux kernel listed as a dropped package, but if you're using a newer one you can probably remove it just fine. Back up your configs and installed packages first, though.
