We're all being funny, but I definitely have my eye on using underpowered servers along with a more JAMStack-flavored design so that some projects I'm working on stay available even when the load essentially kills all updates.

All the way back in Slashdot Effect days I recall a couple of people getting clever with Referer (sic) headers to detect someone on a tech news site linking to your website. In those cases they would redirect to a public cache, like Google's, reducing origin server traffic to a few packets per request.

I always found that to be way more clever than people gave it credit for.
