It's not hard. They're all adding stupid bloat for no good reason.

When my blog was on the frontpage, traffic peaked at 1 Mbit/s (that's megabits, not megabytes) and CPU load peaked at 5% of a single core (and only because that box runs a dozen services in parallel).

Everyone who's blog cannot withstand the HN crowd deserves to have their computer operator's license revoked.

A couple of years ago I had a couple of articles on a static blog hit HN.

Out of the box nginx on Ubuntu 14.04 on the 1GB Linode (then the second tier) handled it perfectly fine. With no disruption to a teamspeak server that was on the same host at the time.
