  • I see scaling problems on Windows 11 (work PC) almost everywhere, in new dialogs and the older stuff. My own Linux box with Gnome has no issues; only webkit-gtk produces blurry fonts on some pages when my minimal font size conflicts with font-size of the page. This is a problem of the specific web page, I guess.

    No HiDPI display here, btw. My old monitor is still good enough and fonts look awesome.

    Disclaimer: I wear glasses and cannot see pixels where others might notice them. I increase font sizes everywhere, so font hinting has more to work with and everything looks sharp to me.

    Only Windows manages to make it worse. ^^









  • Granted, they have config files, but they suggest using the gui for beginners. I don’t know. WTF!!

    Using multiple nginx servers can increase robustness and ease deployments. I never wrote anywhere that I would use one server for one application. In fact, I do the opposite thanks to nginx. But there is a point when someone wants to split up different types of web applications, for instance some of them need node, the others need php or something entirely different that would conflict with the other two. This way configs can be changed during a deployment in production while others don’t need to be touched and unaffected services are not interrupted not even for a very short time.


  • I agree with the author: Only GUI config? WTF!

    If a gui does make the configuration harder then it is a bad tool for the job. Your claim is partly, that OLS makes things easier. I think, the struggle with the gui config illustrates that it doesn’t. If cannot debug a problem with that gui or do not know what an abstract gui setting does, then it actually pretty bad.

    Btw. Nginx configuration can be separated into seperate files and through proxy_pass seperated onto seperate servers.
