Early on (around 2006) xkcd.com was hosted on our former family computer which my brother left running in his bedroom while he was away at college. One day I was playing Counter-Strike when suddenly my connection got interrupted and wouldn't come back. The cause was https://xkcd.com/10/ https://xkcd.com/10/ being linked to on either Boing Boing or Slashdot (I can't remember the exact details). If I'm remembering this right, the computer it was running on was an old HP desktop, probably purchased around 1998-2000.
