Guess the ~1MB (probably less) is deliberately not paged into memory, HTTP 503 for me just now.
Having images was a bit too optimistic I guess, ASCII drawings would have been more appropriate.

#23Reminds me of that blog/magazine who went fully solar and stopped thinking about uptime. What a time to be alive. https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/
Next: a website that loads from punched cards! Where to stop?
Surely a website that doesn’t exist but is left to the imagination of the reader
Is the final stop

#25Error 503 is intended?
no it's just down from too much traffic

#26Pragmatic approach would be host it from floppy disk, but have some caching proxy before it. It could cache into RAM, most modern machines have enough memory to cache many many many floppies. Even Raspberry Pi.
This is exactly what Linux will do by default, without any special setup or config. Everything goes through the buffer cache.
In fact, you would have to do active work to disable the caching.

Probably because the author found it fun and interesting to do. Not everything serves an audience (especially if you're not paying for it).
It reminds me of the few times I've seen random people stumble across game jams and complain that they're unfinished and have bugs

Glad I'm not the only one thinking like this. Are we just too old and grumpy?

Unfortunately it is not fully solar - it is as far as it can go, but then it is connected to a home router connected to mains etc.
