doesn’t every website go down when there is no power? ;)
I think the point is to run on solar energy. Being blackout resistant is not an end goal.
Edit: Ohh you're talking about the post title lol
Only if there is no power everywhere. Some run redundancies in multiple locations.
So.... You're saying that if there's no power the website goes down.
