gollark: SSH, why?
gollark: My website is an unholy mess of large amounts of HTML/CSS/JS, a hundred lines of nginx config, and far too many backend services.
gollark: Replying to <@290323543558717441> from https://discord.com/channels/346530916832903169/348702212110680064/745710617008013423A... webserver?
