If you turn on PHP error reporting at your hosting provider, WordPress still just displays the generic message. Turn on PHP error reporting at your hosting provider.

It turned out the reason for this was changed permissions on the /tmp folder (caused by restoring a folder with BackupPC to /tmp instead of it’s original location). Solution: After this apt update worked as normal.
By using word-wrap, word-break and overflow-wrap in CSS you can control the browser’s behaviour when it comes to word wrapping. However, it is not possible to control where the word breaks. It just breaks when the word no longer fits in the container. To indicate where a word can be broken, the soft hyphen can […]

I had a rather large Akeeba Backup file (about 25 GB) which I tried to restore using Akeeba kickstart from the web browser.

Below the FM-radio is a compartment, when removed, leaves a space big enough for the radio. There is plenty of space behind the compartment. […]
