I noticed recently that running frontend Playwright tests on macOS via GitHub Actions is noticeably faster than on Ubuntu. This is because macOS ships with more browser dependencies out of the box, whereas the base Ubuntu image needs to install them all every run, which takes time. But Playwright has an image with these dependencies already installed! In the end it saves about 30 seconds on Ubuntu.

A simple step-by-step guide to setup Nginx with HTTPS from scratch. This was originally performed on a Raspberry Pi but should work fine on any Debian-based Linux (like Ubuntu). Keep in mind that I'm still a noob at this, so this guide might not result in the best configuration but at least it works!
