I also prefer to get a (decaf) coffee, listen to some music while someone DDoS'd my VPS. I prefer to pay few $ / month for my VPS instead of paying thousands and "survive" the DDoS.
I pay $10/year for my VPS and host a WordPress Woocommerce store on it... It doesn't get much traffic, but it didn't take long to pay for itself either
I explicitly block everything in Russia (and China and Hong Kong) from accessing my servers, because otherwise the rate of SSH attacks is so high it actually prevents SSH from working reliably -- the connection pool fills up.
Just an FYI; I don't think it's that unusual. Blocking those geoips dramatically reduced my logging volume.
