Ngenius
I was idly curious as to the benefits of the Nginx web server over Apache, for no other reason than that Nginx comes as the default web server on Synology DiskStations, and Apache has to be installed separately. I install Apache because I'm vaguely familiar with it.
It's actually overwhelming exactly how uninteresting the answer is, and my only real achievement was a high-level understanding of how little I understand. But, I did learn that Nginx is pronounced Engine X
, which is good to know, since I've always pronounced it En-Jinx
. I prefer my version though—it's only two syllables instead of three—so I'll stick with it.
Not for the first time, I realise it's better that I don't move in face-to-face circles with the real propeller-heads.
