A pitiful 10mbps, eh?
Back in my day...
That's your 100K image 10 times a second, or 600 times a minute.
You could also just like, run a caching server on a 5$ VPS.

- esotericn 7y agoThe only difference is that your final SSL termination would occur on a host that's better placed to handle the load. Literally everything else could be done on-prem e.g. at home. Realistically this 'oh no I got hammered by HN' case is something that is irrelevant anyway. If you're really worried about it, don't host large image files, sorted. The "old internet" didn't have that stuff anyway because we were all on slow connections, 100KB took 10+ seconds to load on dialup.
