Uptime Kuma was way easier to setup than I expected.
Now have periodic healthchecks for my sites with notifications going out to a personal discord server.

Coolify is a solid technology but it definitely has some dependency risk.
There's money coming in and incentive to keep the lights on but only a small team to do so. It's very possible that in 5 years that team will disband and the tech will not be maintained.

PSA: You can create draft PRs with Codex (OpenAI's browser-based coding agent) by clicking the dropdown next to `Create PR`
This is a good idea as most AI outputs could use another pass of review / refinements before they're ready to be reviewed by anyone else.

I like Obsidian for note taking but its sync is rarely allowed by company IT.
So I typically just backup the Vault folders to whatever file storage system is approved by IT.

Stacked commits in git are basically just single commit branches.
Instead of adding a new commit on a branch to change it, you just amend the existing commit.

Coolify works great for app configurations but doesn't help much for server / platform configs.
That's largely by design but it means that you have to build a way to handle server configurations - especially if you're configuring across multiple servers.

I've worked as a software engineer for 8 years and spent considerable time, effort, and money making my WFH desk setup ergonomic.
My best advice is:
* Rule of 90 - Everything at right angles
* Static Rule - Move as little as possible for common operations

Where feature branches attempt to land a full feature all at once, stacked commits aim to land atomic, logical units of change one at a time.
This helps with:
* Avoiding merge conflicts
* Easier, faster reviews
* Test in prod early
* Higher confidence in code change

The primary reason I'm moving off Coolify is to get Infrastructure as Code.
If it works today, it should work next week / month / year as well.

Interesting data: How people use ChatGPT.
I personally use AI most for:
- Information search
- How tos / debugging
- Coding references / generation
Sometimes images.

Will removing Python's GIL make it substantially faster?
For well-designed parallel workloads: yes.
For most general purpose single-threaded workloads: No and in many cases these get SLOWER.
