Good question, the other answers are from users I have blocked.

Lets look into this some more.

-dig saidit.net

saidit.net. 300 IN A 104.18.56.8

whois 104.18.56.8

NetRange: 104.16.0.0 - 104.31.255.255 CIDR: 104.16.0.0/12 NetName: CLOUDFLARENET

Because it is behind cdn, we dont know where else it is really hosted, could be aws, azure, any of the major state-aligned cloud providers. (i call the cloud the fart though, there is much more to cloud hosting than clouds)

Next questions are, how much disk storage does this site use?

What is the monthly trend?

What is the monthly bandwidth? Per user?

Without cloudflare though, any advanced persistent threat can ddos your thing and take it down. The same thing that makes it possible to host your own site on your own infrastructure makes it possible for them to ddos you and force you back onto it.

This is the dilemma, and why .onion routing, but fact is any other site that went viral will be attacked by the mainsream operators, covertly, because they do not want competition.

This is also why at the moment archive.is is being hit with spam, ddos, legal attacks, because that is what an archive server by definition does, it becomes mainstream, because everyone needs it.

A difficult problem, some say the entire internet has a flawed design at the outset, and the internet that we know is based upon those flaws, and the success of things like facegag is due to exploitation of flaws, not because of the awesome engineering of the internet.

Easy to create, yes, easy to scale, no.

And for even asking this question, welcome to the categorization as a thought criminal, someone thinks you have had too much to think! So stay frosty. Read my work for other tips while you still can, and backup everything locally you think might be difficult to keep online due to the powerful interests that will be annoyed by it.

Good news though about powerful interests, they move slowly. Bad news though, they carry a big stick.

LOL. You blocked me?

I guess you didn't get the note I put your book on my shopping list.

Also your post makes little sense related to the OP. Is it a response to something else by accident?
