This website made me reconsider if 99.9999% SLA and always online is really that important for lots of websites. I used to self-host my own server in my own apartment, but gave up on that after my internet provider had their first major outage that lasted almost a week. Also I didn’t want to worry about the fire hazard, or the server going down when I was traveling etc.
But a solar powered server seems interesting, if the batteries could be made fire safe.



This reminds me of a news story from the start of Covid.

Trump: “If you stop the testing, the cases will go down. Drink bleach! UV buttplugs!”
USA: “Let’s try another dangerously old guy for a bit, but if eggs are too expensive after a few years we’ll give this guy another shot.”
