How much traffic could that be? Given the number of comments on this page, I can't imagine it being more than a few thousand clicks? So why would any site go down?

According to Cloudflare, the site has had around 30k unique visitors in just the first 3 hours since the link was posted here.

It's my site, yes. It's on a VPS which usually has far more resources than required. I really wasn't expecting to get everyone's attention.

That's much more than I expected, to be honest. I guess most people are lurking.
