I run simple static sites from a (small) off-grid server at home. It has plenty of capacity for normal use, but cannot fully handle the huge traffic overshoots that bots and DoSes and poorly-written systems of household-name-multinationals inflict. I should not have to pay/scale to over-provision by an order of magnitude or more to stop the bullies and overbearing/idle from hurting genuine users. Luckily some relatively simple but carefully considered rules shut out much of the bad traffic while hurting almost no legitimate human visitor that I can find. Nuance and local circumstances are everything. But that took some engineering time on my part, that I also should not have had to spend. Particularly in fending off the nominally-nice multinationals.
