And... its down already. It can only handle about 10 requests at a time, so take turns guys :) Here is the same article but with hopefully better uptime: https://bogdanthegeek.github.io/blog/projects/vapeserver/

Sounds like you need some more spent vapes ;)

Easy, just set up your other hoarded ones to make a mesh and do some distributed sharding in the vape cloud!

Is this The Cloud that I heard so much about?

It's your fault for not putting CDN in front of it

Really neat achievement, it'd stand out on your CV, make sure to always add it there, it'll spark a fun chat on interviews.

> It's your fault for not putting CDN in front of it

That's no fun. The right answer is to distribute load across a cluster of 100 repurposed disposable vapes.

Alternatively, have a 503 "Smoke break" page.

And reading the article mentioned there about "THE CHEAPEST FLASH MICROCONTROLLER YOU CAN BUY IS ACTUALLY AN ARM CORTEX-M0+" (2023) [1]

Returning 503. Guess it got smoked.

As this vape is so very British, you now have to queue to access the article. I can see that some people are getting though, so that's something.

Big promises, but no working website. I call it vaporware
