They just didn't use the right SD card. You need a class 11 Super ULTRA Extreme SD card made by some specific brand.

  No, unfortunately the high-throughput firmware is reserved for the class 11 Super ULTRA Extreme PRO SD card

  Only if you are a filthy causal, specific brand vertically integrated sd cards are so 2019. So what you need to do, if you are serious about this micro server business, is buy a 1.5TB optane 905p and slot it into a pcie x4 to m.2 adapter. From there you will need a M.2 nvme to usb converter(make sure you don't get a SATA-only one). I like to strip out the inside of a tuff nano, but any will do. Now that you have your drive basics setup, you will need a type c to type a usb cable so that you can plug this into a Pi4. You could use the usb c port on the Pi4, but then how will you power the pi4, dummie? From there you will have to write a small driver that translates sd protocol commands to usb mass storage commands. Now get some wires and solder the Pi4's GPIO pins (the ones you used as I/O for your driver) to the micro sd pins on the adapter. And that's it, now you have a real SD card that is actually fast enough to run your server from an SDIO adapter! Wasn't that easy? Plus this way you didn't have to give $am$ung or $andisk any of your money.

  We're all being funny, but I definitely have my eye on using underpowered servers along with a more JAMStack-flavored design so that some projects I'm working on stay available even when the load essentially kills all updates. All the way back in Slashdot Effect days I recall a couple of people getting clever with Referer (sic) headers to detect someone on a tech news site linking to your website. In those cases they would redirect to a public cache, like Google's, reducing origin server traffic to a few packets per request. I always found that to be way more clever than people gave it credit for.

  Damn, the salesman did say I was taking an awful risk not getting the MonsterCable(tm) Super Extra ULTRA Extra Extreme SD+ card but I wasn't prepared for the extra $129.99 it cost over my SanDisk.

I'm sorry, I need to figure out how to handle traffic better/dynamically.. Still learning. I was thinking it would be cool to leave websites "in the wild" though, like something solar powered that would stay alive and could be accessed in the area. Or something with a short lifespan that's battery powered...

    For small range (few km) you can just utilise LoraWAN for free communication.

      This is a technology that is very interesting to me, but I have not gotten my hands on it yet. I know there were some Italians who had gotten some 100s of km using LoRa (I think it was testing for the Guifi network)

  It could be cool for creating some equivalent of wifi geocaching. Small simple websites that you need to get within a specific area to access.

  I haven't tried it for a big site before, but hosting on github is "free" and/or makes load Mircosoft's problem.

Oh, it does. You just can't handle the wait :)
