The HTML source is pretty good too. A doctype that's half HTML5, half XHTML. A pre-IE7 script tag thing. A meta-keywords tag. Lists that don't actually use any list tags. Raw PHP tags being dumped into the HTML output. No closing body or html tags. This joke has _layers_, man.

Submitting https://nouptime.com/support.php calls error('5') but error is not defined anywhere in the JavaScript code.

Well those are officially optional now so it's just well optmized HTML.

The link behind "Click here for English" is a good one, I have to remember that. Good idea.

I once had a link on a Greek website that said "click here if you don't speak Greek" and linked to a "learn Greek online" search.

Next to a German flag, even though the website's in Dutch. Perfect.

I like how deep the rabbit hole goes on pauperhosting. The accidentally included admin panel with leaked customer db, the VPS demo, everything. I'm pretty sure I haven't even discovered half of it yet.

Almost all the customer names in that excel file are taken from "huilende rappers - waddepjedangedaan", on a joke rap album by drum and bass legends noisia. It's all in Dutch... but the made up names are so incredibly funny that i use them for dummy data everywhere.

I like how clicking "here" for English takes you to a DuckDuckGo search.

The site could be improved with a Cloudflare 'always online' banner.

This website is indeed hosted by Cloudflare.

This looks like a good service for compute, but it's way over priced for storage. It probably makes most sense to use the included disk for application code only and store all data in something like S4 [1]

Under "Key scenarios" they include "SETI@home output recorder". Ouch.

The site being currently up does not inspire confidence.

This is just the marketing site.

Reasonable to expect it's hosted on different infra with different reliability

It even survives the HN hug of death. Very disappointing.

How bad is the HN hug of death btw? My laptop can serve 200k QPS per core. I can't imagine HN is that much more intensive? Are 1vCPU VMs just that much worse?
