It must be the first of the month, because the GitHub sponsor cancellations are coming in again.
Instead of spending money on things that you don't need on this #cybermonday, support the maintainers of the open source projects who help you create the software that powers your site.
For @Xdebug that could be through:
- GitHub sponsors: https://github.com/sponsors/derickr
- Directly with an invoice: https://xdebug.org/support
- Signing up and using Xdebug Cloud: https://xdebug.cloud/
