For the Macbook Pro, how would you create a script in which an alarm goes off when the power cord is disconnected?
I've got a Mac OS status bar app written in Python here that could easily be modified to do this. It uses rumps to create the status bar app and psutil to monitor the plugged/unplugged state and charge status. I use it to remind me to plug in the charger when charge gets below a certain level and unplug the charger when charge gets above a certain level. Here's how to get the plugged in status (which you could check periodically on a loop)

Easily monitor your Server from anywhere
Many good reverse proxy solutions currently exist on the market such as ngrok and Cloudflare tunnels. They give one the ability to reliably run a tunnel and ensure it does not go down. They also offer the ability to securely access their links using whitelisted IP addresses or by using HTTP Basic Authentication.

Cloudflare Tunnel: a free ngrok alternative for exposing local Rails apps to the internet
These is a very common problem. Luckily, it's been solved already. My go-to tool for this was ngrok or localtunnel. Both of these tools are great, but they didn't fit my needs perfectly.

Monitoring Celery in Production
This means that Cronitor must have an endpoint that it can reach. Normally, we can't do that when developing on a personal machine. For this tutorial, however, we can use ngrok to establish a tunnel to our local Django application for testing purposes.

You Can't Follow Me
There are so many weird suggestions in the comments. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned ngrok https://ngrok.com/ (there are many competing alternatives as well). It makes exposing local service over HTTPS trivial. It's been used heavily in most of my engineering orgs.
