I recently moved all my small project sites over to a self-hosted solution using Coolify. It was pretty easy and really rewarding!

New comment by dorkrawk in "Just Use a Laptop"

dorkrawk — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:21:34 +0000

It's working pretty well. I certainly use my phone for some things, especially if I'm away from the house. But I've just set habits that if I'm doing certain things (writing more than a sentence or two, buying things online, etc.) I just default to a laptop.

Having a microwave doesn't force me to eat TV dinners for every meal. But sometimes it's convenient to just microwave food. Just not all the time.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
