- Comment on What's the difference between a proxy and a VPN 2 months ago:
A VPN operates on the network layer (3) meanwhile a proxy works on the application layer (4). This means that using a vpn will send all network traffic from all apps over it (if configured accordingly) meanwhile a proxy will only work for the http(s) traffic in a browser configured with it.

Every of your links is about the webmail app not nextcloud as a whole

Be careful there and try the paint before. My friend says he never gets his fully clean again after the first use.

- Comment on 8 Years later my Steam Link is still getting regular updates 10 months ago:
Valve being a cool company might be true and all but I think there’s also the real reason that steam makes money by selling games, and making it easy for users to stick to gaming (with steam) ensures ongoing income. Imagine someone who now loves gaming on TV but being annoyed by their broken steam link - what are they going to buy next? A PlayStation and years without a game sold to them.

- Comment on Germany Will Force 80% of Gas Stations to Install EV Charging, Too 1 year ago:
At home either you’re responsible on your own or your landlord is, in fact in Germany many people rent. Here there is a law already: if requested, the landlord has to install an EV charger. In many parking lots of businesses at least where I live chargers already exist. I don’t know if this is another law or if it just works in that field.

Ah right, sorry; the company doesn’t support it directly but the docs provide an example. To me as tinkerer that was solid enough 😂😅

Nginx is supported and a good choice. What database are you using? I’d recommend MariaDB.
