Obviously a joke/satire site. "This server is powered by 4 car batteries that are charged every Tuesday. This website does not use new electricity created during Shabbat." Shouldn't it have ran out of electricity by now? How many requests can a home server running on four car batteries serve?

Low-tech Magazine[1] runs off of a 168 W-h lead-acid battery and has pretty good uptime. An average sized car battery has ~600 W-h. Four of them is 2400 W-h. They might have enough power to run for a week between charges.

168 W/h gives you about 12 hours between charges.

2400 W-h / 168 W-h = about 14.28x the size of LTM's

12 hours * 14.28 = 7.14 days.
