| Next to a German flag, even though the website's in Dutch.
| Perfect.

| half of it yet.

| Almost all the customer names in that excel file are taken

| album by drum and bass legends noisia. It's all in Dutch...
| but the made up names are so incredibly funny that i use them
| for dummy data everywhere.

| How do we know they even power up any servers at all, for the
| service? I mean, they could simply just not power up any servers
| at all. Till then, I'll opt for the 'take-my-money' plan.
| ralegh wrote:
| Ideally they wouldn't need to power up the servers but you can
| see from the graph that unfortunately there's still some
| uptime, though they are working on it, maybe once they reach
| 100% downtime

| I think I heard that moving from 99.99% unavailability to
| 99.999% unavailability costs ten times more.

| This is a great place to host all those litigation hold files.

| The site being currently up does not inspire confidence.
| pauldraper wrote:
| This is just the marketing site.
|
| Reasonable to expect it's hosted on different infra with
| different reliability

| It even survives the HN hug of death. Very disappointing.
| hansvm wrote:
| How bad is the HN hug of death btw? My laptop can serve 200k
| QPS per core. I can't imagine HN is that much more intensive?
| Are 1vCPU VMs just that much worse?
| thornewolf wrote:
| Your laptop can serve 200k qps per core?
| lelandbatey wrote:
| Yes, they are much worse than bon-fide actual single cores
| on most recently purchased laptops. But also, the HN hug of
| death mostly happens with tiny non-static sites that are
| sloppily hosted. If you're serving static assets it's hard
| to "hug of death" a Casio watch.

| The thing that gets saturated first for most at-home or

| Can you serve 200GB of an average 1mb large HTML page per

| Holy crap what kind of laptop are you running?

| This one pairs great with https://devnull-as-a-service.com/

| I mean, just check this list of features:
