success! Upgraded #footiMac to Debian 13/Trixie and brought Mastodon along for the ride.
Had a few hiccups...
1) I upgraded elasticsearch and ended up having to clear out its cache files as it didn't want to 'upgrade' them itself.
2) postgresql 15 and 16 are still running in the background and needed new timezones in their configs.
3) Charlock_holmes ruby gem was unhappy (as noted in recent Mastodon release notes) and needed: bundle install --force to actually get it to install again.
4) libvibs is not happy either, so I turned it off in the config file. This seems to be an ongoing issue.
Once those things were found and fixed, it all came back up.
Phew! Wonder what else broke lol
