I like the idea, but I will not support the use of nginx.



Care to elaborate on this? Which http server do you use?


HAProxy is what we switched over to at work. I'm not informed enough to give you the pros and cons of each.


See my other comment for my reasoning.

On the second point, I vary between Caddy and Traefik, depending on the use case.


Is there something wrong with nginx?


I can't trust something that may now be under the control of the Russian state.


The code is open, and is being analyzed by the entire world. This seems paranoid.


But you're fine with Caddy or traefik "that may now be under the control of the United States"?

All 3 of these are open source on github with widely used code bases that are free to view and read as you want.


The US government hasn't raided the homes of the primary developers of those, though.

I'll admit that the open source nature limits the damage a state actor can do, though.


That you know of ;)

If you are going to go full paranoid, you can't pretend that the media is 100% trueful at every aspect, especially when it comes to internal US affairs.


Yeah, the difference is at least some of the media can at least attempt to be truthful with limited chances of accidental novichok exposure, falling through the window or accidentally falling on a knife multiple times. etc.


Which is why I'm only 1/8th paranoid, not full paranoid. =P

Also, while every media source is biased, if you review enough angles on a given story, you can arrive at some semblance of a true account.


Would you mind to elaborate? I haven’t heard anything about Nginx being “compromised” before
