Strouds, Georgia

Strouds is an unincorporated community in Monroe County, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]

History

A post office called Strouds was established in 1886, and remained in operation until 1905.[2] Variant names were "Stroud" and "Stroud Crossroads".[1] The community was named after the family of Levi Stroud Sr., early settler.[3]

gollark: I have about 500 lines of horribly entangled configuration files driving this, despite the original design of osmarks.net (formerly osmarks.tk) calling for it to mostly be a static website.
gollark: Now, the diagram says "nginx". Nginx is also an important part of this setup. It is a reverse proxy allowing me to run all this slightly crazy stuff on one IP, and encrypt with "HTTPS" apiotechnology.
gollark: It also got a HTTP endpoint, available at https://radio.osmarks.net/random-stuff/current-song, which dumps the status etc. information in JSON for the frontend to read.
gollark: So this gained a loop polling MPD - remember, it has a client-server model, so other stuff can communicate with it. Use of MPD turned out to be a good design decision!
gollark: But that isn't very relevant here.
