Hi!

TL,DR:

1. I have just pushed a DNS change to use our new rsync server.
2. I have upgraded main.php.net from Debian 10 to 12
3. I have installed all the latest updates on most machines


Long Form

1. In the beginning of the year, Deft (formerly Server Central), reached 
out to us that the current rsync server is old, and they would like to 
continue sponsoring us with a replacement (faster) machine.

I set up this new server in February, but then the mailing list stuff 
happened and life got in the way, so I have only just switched DNS over 
after testing each property.

Except that I could not test rsync and rmtools, as I don't know where 
they live. Nor PEAR, as I don't have access, and I also don't know 
whether it uses our rsync service.

This change should not cause any issues, but let me know if some 
websites don't update after committing code through Git.

2. main.php.net still ran Debian 10, and now Debian 12. This does come 
with a new PHP version (8.2), and I have changed it to use the system 
PHP instead of using Sury's repostory. Again, I also don't expect this 
to cause issues.

3. It is good to install system update onces in a while, and I've done 
that.

Let me know if anything broke!

cheers,
Derick
