Re:3x performance for 1/4 of the price by migrating from AWS... by wredcoll on Friday October 17, 2025 @11:15AM (#45617740)
I mean, yes, but also I get "3 nines" uptime by running a website on a box connected to my isp in my house. (it would easily be 4 or 5 nines if I also had a stable power grid...)

There's a lot, a lot of websites where downtime just... doesn't matter. Yes it adds up eventually but if you go to twitter and its down again you just come back later.

"3 nines" is around 8 hours of downtime a year. If you can get that without a UPS or generator, you already have a stable power grid.
