#15> So the only time my blog will be down is when I'm out of power or if my Internet is down!
This didn't turn out to be true.
Should have added an extra node...

#16A blog can usually be static and therefore run behind a CDN. Whenever I read "look at my blog", I expect it to be HNpwned.
The postmortem followups are quite interesting though if there is a good analysis behind.

#19How does a Pi compared to the lowest end VPS's out there?
Ill use the cheapest AWS lightsail as the benchmark for a low end VPS, which is 3.50 a month.
512mb of RAM, 1v CPU, 20gb of SSD.
Cheapest pi4 is 30$, which gets you 1gb of ram and a quad core ARM v8 at 1.50 ghz. BYO storage, which is not ideal via sd card.
In any business purposes comparison, you can push that VPS much much harder then you can the pi. But who cares? the pi is yours, it's right there, and it's awesome to do real computer stuff on it. Or stupid computer stuff, whatever, it's yours, no-one has to know. So much easier too.

It would be great if the author of this post could respond here with how many requests per second it took to bring down the site... I assume using a RPi is still a viable solution for 99% of the time
