Västerås is twinned with:[4]
gollark: For generating sensible output, there are better text generation things, but Markov chains have the advantage of being really simple.
gollark: The main reason I like caddy is just that it does HTTPS conveniently, and I reshuffle subdomains and such a lot so that's quite helpful.
gollark: Apache uses some weird XMLy thing and also htaccess.
gollark: To be honest I'm kind of tempted to switch back to nginx, but its configuration is *also* somewhat annoying.
