This is so cool! I'm so surprised I've never heard of someone doing this before :)

There was a project a while back, sadly it seems to have gone offline, it was a kosher news aggregator. They had the most interesting rules, like only charging the batteries on Tuesday. It was such a weird and interesting projects.

I did something very similar a while back: https://mbrizic.com/blog/solarhosting/

What did you use to differentiate green from (I'm guessing) blue links when it's down?

Each color is a different build running on a different server. And then a load balancer picks which server you'll end up on.

Code-wise, the only difference between the builds is the CSS setting the link color.
