I'm not sure what the English pronunciation of "n-jinx" sounds like but I'm pronouncing it "engines" as in plural of engine.

Um das mal phonetisch zu schreiben: Es würd sich ungefähr wie "en dschinks" auf Deutsch anhören.

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