A pi 4b is more power than the basic 1 vcpu, 1gb or 2gb VPSes a lot of personal blogs on this site use. If it's a static site (and it appears to be, meta generator=Jekyll) then a pi 4b should be plenty for HN.
Past experience with articles making it to HN FP show it can handle up to around 3K visits /hour without too much trouble. Maybe more, but my Matomo analytics instance tends to give up around then. Right now it's pulling maybe 700 visits/ hour.
If it starts looking bad, I'll move the site onto a VPS
Probably pretty well, as the content seems to be static HTML, any sensible apache2 or nginx configuration (And linux kernel storage-to-ram caching) will keep the frequently-accessed HTTP GET requests in RAM. And a raspberry pi with 4 or 8GB of RAM has enough resources for quite a lot of simultaneous threads.
