I almost hate myself for writing this - but any given AWS AZ has had more outages/ performance degradations/service interuptions over the past ~5years than my home internet/electricity... and with an unmetered connection with a 200mbps+ uplink, how much more do I really need for a personal page?

Maybe a raspberry pi behind my sofa isn't so stupid?

Of course you could use multi-cloud/multi-azs, but do you really WANT to for a personal website?

Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I live in a Canadian city with pretty stable internet and since I moved 6mo ago (we won't count moving-related downtime) I've had at least a 1hr power outage and 3hrs of internet-related downtime.

I can't remember the last time my little nano server in US-West-2 has been down.
