Coolify is a nice middle-ground between these two extremes. In this video, Piotr explores how you can leverage this platform to get your application on the web quickly without spending a fortune.

Five Times When Updating Your OS Would Have Saved You From Being Hacked

Every checklist you've ever seen for securing your VPS includes "update your system regularly".  But is that one of those "best practices" that is more theoretical than a real-world necessity? To be honest, it's easy to not get around to running "apt update && apt upgrade".  In my experience, at least with Debian, updates rarely break things but it's always a small risk.  Nevertheless, it requires remembering to do it, spending the commands run, maybe rebooting, etc. Unfortunately, history has shown time and time again that skipping OS updates can leave even the best admins wide open to disaster.
