Sounds about right. This keeps happening at my job, executives throwing good money after bad in an attempt to get some return on their investment. If we had just cut our losses years ago we'd be in a much better place now.

Where would you host the script? If it's expected that the server that fires it off is always online and performing health checks, why not have it host a load-balancer? Or another local instance of the website? It's something fun to play around with, but if this is for anything beyond a fun exercise there are much better ways to accomplish this.

If you don't want to mess with another VPS you can use a global server load balancer (GSLB) provider like Akamai, Cloudflare, Azure, etc.

This being a self-host community though it's unlikely you'd want to pursue something like this, but without knowing more about your specific use case it's tough to make a recommendation.

If global high-availability is your primary goal then a hosted solution is probably best.

If this is just an exercise you and your friend are working on for giggles and it's not for a mission-critical Production instance, then presumably self-hosting a load-balancer on each of your servers that includes both nodes in a target group would achieve this, though somewhat counterintuitive; if the website goes down at either location, I would imagine there's a pretty high likelihood the LB itself would be down as well.

Minorities. Immigrants. Illegals. The poor. The middle class. Big tech. The economy. China. India. They will always find something.

Google is so bad now and has been for a while, it's tough to believe its name is still synonymous with search.

I've been toying with the idea of using Kagi, but paying for a search engine is still such a foreign concept for me. I think if you can find a good SearXNG instance you'll have a much better time.

Remember when they removed ultrasonic and radar sensors in favor of "Tesla Vision"? That decision demonstrably cost people their lives and yet older, proven tech continues to be eschewed in favor of the cutting edge new shiny.

I'm all for pushing the envelope when it comes to advancements in technology and AI in its many forms, but those of us that don't buy Teslas never signed up to volunteer our lives as training data for FSD.

I feel like you might have interviewed for Google in the late 2000s

How do I know that's not just a segment of a giant token ring
