Apparently, he self-hosts on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. I guess you need to block half the internet if your server has about the same performance as a decade-old smartphone.

It's charming in a way, like someone who daily-drives a classic car.

There's a certain charm to Rube Goldberg machines as well.

LOL, the first comment of that article.

"To worldofmathew on Hacker News,

While I do sincerely appreciate the fact that you have taken the time to post several cheapskatesguide articles to Hacker News, this may have caused them to designate you as a blog spammer and block your posts. In other words, they may think that you own this site and are posting your own articles. May I suggest that you contact a Hacker News moderator and set him straight before you post another cheapskatesguide article?"
