Auf Wiedersehen!
Genau! Actually, this perfect duality also extends to other phrases, like “priyatnava appetita”, just like Guten Appetit! At the same time, in Ukrainian you’d say “smachnogo”, similar to Swedish “smaklig måltid” (lecker Mahlzeit), as “smak” means taste in both languages.
When I see these accents I can't help but read it in Hatari voice.
I know this is massively off-topic (have a good well paid "retirement" Igor), but I assumed that it would be written as Dos Vidaniya instead of (the correct) Do svidanyia My Russian studies is limited to listening to Sean Connery in The Russia House, and I guess I took Dos from the latin languages. Odd.
To non-russian speaking users: "Do Svidaniya" means "Goodbye".
To add a bit more, "svidaniye" means a date, and "Do svidaniya" literally means "till [our next] date". In English, "see you" or "see you later" translates closest to the original phrase in Russian.
People need to stop with this Cloudflare captcha madness. I literally accessed nginx.com a few hours ago and now it hit me with a captcha again.
Cloudflare uses a heuristic trust model where it pulls multiple trust signals from the client. It can use several things (including stable IP address, cookies, and I think even a bit of JavaScript grabbing a nonce from local storage). If you run with a lot of "identity fuzzers" (browsing through Tor, JavaScript off, cookies banned), Cloudflare can't build its trust heuristics and needs to challenge-response more ofte…

Are you using Safari by any chance? I used to get a lot of these on Safari, but issue is almost gone on Firefox. I think it's connected to how Safari handles cookies.
It still surprises me that NGINX beat out Apache so quickly even though Apache had way more modules and was/is entirely free vs. NGINX which is more or less "open core" with some nice features requiring commercial licensing.
I really take for granted how well Nginx works across a number of web backend functions. Some of the container/orchestration world has tried to supplant the need for it as a reverse proxy, but you get so many goodies out of the box just by sticking this in front of your app, and for very little overhead. I remember the pre-Nginx days and all of the struggles people routinely ran into with options like Apache or other…
I mean there was lighttpd before nginx and they have/had pretty similar structures, weights, etc. I feel like I knew at one point why it got so thoroughly supplanted by nginx but I don't remember now why that happened.

>Saying 'goodbye' in English doesn't really mean saying 'God be with you' to someone except, of course, when it does. I regularly re-pronounce holiday as holy-day internally, and the same with welcome and well-come; i am, of course, a weirdo.
>except, of course, when it does. To a good first approximation, zero people mean "god be with you" when they say "goodbye". That might be the etymological origin of the word, but meanings shift over time.
Knowing the etymology of, e.g., "goodbye" makes it click faster/not be weird when you learn, e.g, that "hello" is "Dia is Muire duit" (God and Mary be with you) in Irish Gaelic.

I've just counted: only on the 13th paragraph I could get the answer.
