#### Imagine my suprise when I could not tail the syslog anymore..

Debian 12 has moved the syslog to journalctl. So just run `journalctl -f` and you will be greeted with the logs running throu the screen :)

If you want to check the logs from for example apache:

`journalctl -u apache2.service`

If you want to format the logs as json, just append `o json-pretty`
