Nearlyfreespeech.net has been great, but their security settings make it hard to update WordPress automatically. I just discovered that WP now has a command line interface that works fine over SSH.
wp core update
wp core update-dp
And done!. You can do wp db export to back up the database first.
And updating plugins (for those that can auto-update) is just wp plugin update-all.
My biggest complaint with WP 5.5 is the new post editor. It's a new, simpler editor but all my custom buttons are gone. I suppose I'll have to figure out how to restore the old editor.
