...and here I am, running a blog that if it gets 15k hits a second, it won't even bat an eye, and I could run it on a potato. Probably because I don't serve hundreds of megabytes of garbage to visitors. (The preview image is also controllable iirc, so just, like, set it to something reasonably sized.)
Sadly, that's not code Linus wrote. Nor one he merged. (It's from git, copied from rsync, committed by Junio)
