  • Why are you worried about your site going down during traffic surge? Unless you’re running a critical service, there is no need to worry about this too much if it’s just your personal sites.

    Because it’s an important business website that would have severe consequences if it went down during traffic spikes (which it does get).

    With proper caching, your personal site can even tank traffics from reddit frontpage on a $5/mo vps.

    Yeah, I’m using Cloudflare, and I saw that Wordpress has a built-in caching option, but I couldn’t find any info on how well that protects sites from traffic surges.

    consider hosting it on platforms with autoscaling support such as netlify.

    Yeah but I need an SSG with the same capabilities as Squarespace to do that, and as mentioned in the OP, that doesn’t seem to exist.



  • Since you posted this into a self-hosting community…

    I have two other websites hosted on a $5 Hetzner server (that counts as self-hosted right?). I’ve been considering adding a Wordpress, Grav, or static site to it. But as mentioned in the OP, I have to worry about the site going down if it gets a traffic surge, so I’m thinking it would be safer and similarly/more affordable to host a Wordpress site with Hostinger or GreenGeeks. Am I wrong?

    Grab a Raspberry Pi, slap nginx proxy manager and ddclient into it, and point your domain to your home IP.

    I’m not likely to do that, for multiple reasons.






  • Interesting. As soon as you posted your dishonest comment and it got 100% upvoted, the other comments in this thread seemed to have been vote-brigaded by the same people.

    Lawyers will not take on your case unless they think there is a solid chance of financial or reputational gain beyond the standard hourly fee. They are telling you in the most professional way possible that they see no merit in spending their time on your theory’s reputation

    My suspicion is that they feel your… zeal and passion for your theory is bordering on fanatical. They don’t want to work with fanatics.

    This is entirely false and dishonestly fabricated by you. A lawyer never said anything remotely like that, and in no way was such a thing insinuated in previous comments in this thread. No lawyer turned me down.

    This is blatant pro-reddit astroturfing.

    Without substantial and demonstrable effects on your finances, what you are left with is just some low level insults on the internet, and one or more relatively anonymous individuals who know that trolling you will get them the reaction they desire. If you continue to react like this, they will continue to try to get a reaction from you.

    your reactions and inability to let minor insults

    You have no clue what you’re talking about, and are just making things up. You’re the one trolling now.

    These concepts have been explained to you previously.

    Oh yeah? When was that?

    I understand that you believe you have found answers that have previously been ignored by medicine. I know how that feels. But research is already being done in this area and will take time to bear fruit.

    Another completely nonsensical troll comment.
