Not if you live in a desert, which most blogs do.

  That continues the analogy -- it doesn't rain often in the desert, but almost all deserts receive rain. And since it rains so rarely, you're certainly not going to find an umbrella during the rainstorm. So again, if staying dry in the rain is important to you, buy an umbrella before the rain, if you don't care about getting wet from time to time, then no need for the umbrella. While the personal blog owner may not care about DDoS related downtime, he may face extra usage charges due to higher bandwidth, CPU usage, etc that he'd like to avoid.

    The people you see in a desert with umbrellas are not using it for the rain, but for shade, the rain is the least of their problems.

      Even in a desert, people still use umbrellas for protection from the rain: https://lasvegassun.com/news/2016/jan/19/fast-moving-storm-brings-rain-across-the-valley/ https://lasvegassun.com/news/2016/jan/19/fast-moving-storm-b... And the rain still causes problems, even (or maybe especially in) a desert: https://nypost.com/2022/07/29/las-vegas-braces-for-more-rain-after-city-punished-by-floods/ https://nypost.com/2022/07/29/las-vegas-braces-for-more-rain...

        1 person using an umbrella, 4 are not. I'm starting to doubt if you're even human given that normal people don't go throughout their entire lives always carrying an umbrella wherever they go, even when it might rain.
