Earlier quoted context omitted.

I figure anyone who is reading right now is in Asia (too early for Europe, too late for USA).

You're wrong. I'm in the USA, and I just tried to read it. (and the link doesn't work for me either) There have to be so many "night owls" on this site, I can't imagine why you would think it would be too late in the US to try at this hour.

It would be too late in the US for most of the user base to be from the US; the users posting begin shifting to Asia and in a few hours to Europe. Fascinating to watch how the comments change accordingly.

As far back as I can remember, lispm.de was hosted on some guy's personal box, so it was prone to downtime and simply being overwhelmed.

Come on, man. We're living in the era of clouds and virtual server images. Servers are cattle, not pets.

> Servers are cattle, not pets.

That is for the owner of the server to decide, not an universal truth.

The page with lots of images on a tiny ARM board is not made for Hackernews traffic. Not a good idea to submit it to Hackernews. Sorry.

Maybe we should start a collection and afford the OP a box that is HN-proof. A Lisp Machine Hall Of Fame should be worth it :-)

Have you considered hosting the images on imgur or another such site, at least during HN traffic?

Until such time as people can reasonably get their hands on OpenGenera (which I gather might now be in the hands of CL-HTTP's author) people are going to be pretty interested in things like this and Kalman Reti's recent YouTube video.

You could also use CoralCDN (http://www.coralcdn.org/) for the images on your page, which would mirror them automatically. Unfortunately, if you try to submit a link to *.nyud.net to HN directly it turns out dead.
