Incidental Canary Capabilities

A large amount of vulnerabilities are addressed in the latest upgrade of Debian Bullseye.

When I migrated my server I took the opportunity to split my setup into two servers: one for running public services and one for keeping my files and backups.

The reason I didn't separate them from the beginning was because for a very long time I didn't even have any public facing services. Then I tried a few things out and just as every temporary thing in IT they became permanent.

Apart from improved data security my new setup incidentally provides another opportunity in that I can now try new upgrades on my file server before subjecting my services to possible long disruptions. I'm very grateful to my past self for that.
