This blog was started on a raspberry pi on a shelf by the door in my home. I had a pi knocking about, and wanted to see if a website on it would give decent performance, So I wrote a couple of posts just to test the page-load speed. Then, due to the current unpleasantness, I found I had time to write more posts, so I kept going. I may run out of steam in a week or two - who knows.
I have deployed a lot of sites for clients over the years, but usually with CPU-intensive back-end processing, so I've used most of the cloud companies and several data centers. Self-hosting on a pi is fun, and hey, maybe I'll write a post about it sometime.
Spoiler alert: I did run out of steam. The pi performed really well as a web server using Grav (a no-database CMS). However, when moving house and having to turn off the pi, I moved this blog to a shared host running in a Google data center, which is where it is now.
