Unfortunately this website relies on Tailwind's CDN for styling, which in turn is deployed on Vercel, which in turn is mostly hosted on AWS.

The bottom turtle should be a raspberry pi in somebody’s closet. No dependencies.

  Bad news about ISPs... Really you want a RPi on solar power, attached to a longwave transmitter, and with direct peering agreements with all dominant global providers. Most well-connected rpi in existence.

    Add that moon-bouncing thing that got popular last week. For redundancy.

The page is 320KB in size. They could have made it a static page with some simple HTML, the whole thing would have been under 10KB and would not have needed a CDN.

  Probably churned out using v0 which defaults to bloat

  Wasn't there some tech demo some time ago how to store a tiny webpage in DNS TXT records? I think this would be the usecase for that :)

  The thing that worries me the most, is that oftentimes nobody cares. That demotivates me a lot, as I tend to invest huge loads of my time into optimising various things, and all of them are meaningless if you ‘just buy a faster computer.’ Most of my websites are served with a low-powered computer, and I tend to optimise them to work well on them. But buying just one beefy server compensates all my optimisations. I have no idea what to do about that. I still care about these things, as I believe that’s what makes me a professional. But there are countless examples when you can just ignore all that and see no real difference.

This is beginning to be a good sign that it was AI generated. For some reason the AI's really love using Tailwind CSS.

  Human devs also love using tailwind.
