Takes 80ms to load. From Europe. That's insane, if not altogether impossible.

But the IP resolves to 188.114.96.3, which is Cloudflare.

So regrettably it doesn't look like I was actually fetching anything off 386 per se.

When I first posted it a few hours ago, I didn’t have CloudFlare. You can see lots of people unable to load the page at all in the earliest comments. Unfortunately it got to a point where pages weren’t just slow to load, but the connections were dropped entirely. So I figured that between the options of enabling CloudFlare or just having it be completely inaccessible, the former was preferable even at the cost of authenticity. I would love to find a better idea for how to keep the site online, if you have any.

But but..., going through Cloudflare makes it lose all what's related to the context of being hosted ony a 386SX etc... :(

Yeah, maybe posting it on Hacker News was a bad idea. I should have tried somewhere with fewer visitors first.

Hehe, in the end soon or later you would have ended up here => same problem, later.

It took 96ms to load on an Indonesian island. This is the internet we deserve.
