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.

        So… You’re saying that if there’s no power the website goes down.

      I think the point is to run on solar energy. Being blackout resistant is not an end goal.

      Edit: Ohh you’re talking about the post title lol
