A website hosted on a floppy disk (Be patient while it's loading)

Unsurprisingly I got a 503 error. I'll be more curious how many requests it can handle if it is really only on floppy (no caching etc..). 1.44 MB is plenty of space to host a nice website !

Are you asking about how many requests per second - or about how many request per floppy (before that needs replacing)? ;)

Yes sorry, I meant I'll be curious to know how many requests per second that floppy can handle. Well for sure it's not enough for instance since I still get 503 :). Since I am curious so I'll just bookmark for next time.

Yeh, if it is down, it's sad that the HN effect has caused the death of a floppy or floppy drive :( haha

are we talking about the same site ? as the pages on the archive org version say: "The specs: .... a 256MB IDE Disk on Module."

I imagine the OS is on the IDE disk and the floppy disk contains the files for the website
