nginx ("engine x") is an HTTP web server, reverse proxy, content cache, load balancer, TCP/UDP proxy server, and mail proxy server. […] [1]

I still pronounce it as "n-jinx" in my head.

I'm glad there's pronunciations provided, because to me it looks like it should sound like a slur.

Does this mean when you go into an airport bathroom and see the hand dryer, you know it's called an XLerator (ex-LAIReighter)?

Nginx is atrocious. I about have a stroke every time I have to work with it. Caddy is 1000x easier to set up.
