years ago I read about a protocol to treat webpages like torrents.
so if a website becomes popular, it'll be accessed not from a main server, but from every who has seen it and cached it.
that would be perfect for "microservers" like this.
what sucks is that I don't remember any specific name for that protocol, so I cant search for it and figure out if it's actually a thing or some vague prototype.
Sounds like Gnunet or sone other P2P system?
IPFS?
possibly, sad we are moving towards having like 5 websites, instead of countless small websites.
They're still around, tho:
Every time you click this link, it will send you to a random Web 1.0 website

PeerTube does this in a way. When you're watching a video, other users can stream it from you directly.
