MFW the website I run on a raspberry pi sitting in my living room has better uptime than two of the planet's largest cloud providers

@ricci

That was my takeaway from all this as well. Every additional redundancy also seems to add a new single point of failure to manage it, so your cost goes up, but your effective reliability does not.

The only way a system would be actually redundant would be if the protocol was something like bittorrent, where your servers operate completely independently and don't need a central point to route users between them.

@ricci Nice 😀

I'm jealous... I would love to be able to do the same but even combining two internet connections I still have worse uptime than any cloud provider

@diazona Google has got bad at many things but Google Fiber is still pretty good
@ricci I’m hosting all my stuff on a raspberry pi co-located in a small data center. The 5’s support for NVMe storage is a game changer. Best change I’ve ever made.
