A step-by-step tutorial explains how to set up PinePods, a self-hosted podcast server, on an AlmaLinux VPS. The guide covers deployment with Docker Compose, PostgreSQL and Valkey, plus a host-level Nginx reverse proxy secured with Let's Encrypt SSL. It is aimed at administrators who want a self-hosted podcast platform on their own infrastructure.

LiteSpeed Technologies' web server currently runs about 2.5% of the indexed web, roughly 678,000 sites, including the company's own homepage. Unlike nginx, which regularly attracts public controversy and debate among developers, LiteSpeed generates almost no discussion, conference talks, or community conflict. Observers note it simply serves traffic quietly, making it one of the least-discussed but steadily used pieces of web infrastructure.

OpenResty, a web server platform built on top of nginx with Lua scripting support, reportedly serves about 5.5% of the indexed web — more than Microsoft's IIS and LiteSpeed combined. Despite that scale, many developers have never heard of it, and tech commentators are calling it a quiet workhorse of internet infrastructure worth paying attention to.

A technical guide circulating online walks through building quantum-safe encrypted web servers, combining Nginx, OpenSSL and the Open Quantum Safe provider on FreeBSD. The article describes TLS encryption in poetic terms, calling it a secure realm where secret tongues are spoken. Readers in the open-source and cybersecurity community are sharing it as interest grows in post-quantum cryptography ahead of future quantum computing threats.

F5 has released emergency patches for three critical vulnerabilities in NGINX, tracked as CVE-2026-15176, CVE-2026-97205 and CVE-2026-93479. The flaws can be exploited without authentication to run arbitrary code remotely or crash servers, making them a serious risk for organizations running NGINX as a web server or reverse proxy. Security teams are being urged to apply the updates immediately and review their systems for signs of exploitation.
