Hurray! Is this the longest downtime ever for HN? I don't remember it being down for this long in the past, anyone know?

My routine is usually to check HN first thing in the morning when sitting down at my computer before work.

I definitely spent a non-reasonable amount of time thinking my internet had a problem trying to open HN since it's always just been so constant.

HN was down because the failover server also failed: https://twitter.com/HNStatus/status/1545409429113229312

Double disk failure is improbable but not impossible.

The most impressive thing is that there seems to be no dataloss, almost whatsoever. Whatever the backup system is, it seems rock solid.
