There’s a Lua module for Nginx, and in particular OpenResty bundles those two. Lua is snappy as hell, especially in the LuaJIT variant, and uses very little memory — so when it’s paired with Nginx, one could probably run a performant web app on a toaster.

These days there are ten packages for every task.

Lua works smooth like butter with binary libraries written in C (since it’s made to be embeddable in C), but also it’s so fast that for many things people just do libraries in plain Lua.

I’ll break the mold by creating my own paradox, it’ll be known as SlurpingPus’ Non-self-referential Paradox.

Regarding email, consider buying a personal domain for your email address. You specify the ip addresses of the email provider in the domain’s DNS, and on the provider’s side specify that the domain is for your email box. This way, if the email provider doesn’t work out, you only need to change the DNS records to another provider, instead of changing the email address on accounts (which is often impossible).

However, not all email providers support custom domains, and some only do that on paid tiers.

The thing depicted is Fourier transform. As opposed to ‘furry transfem’.
