I don't think I had ever fully internalized how often I open this site throughout the day. Finish a task? HN. Got frustrated/stuck on a problem? HN break. Waiting for something to install/upload/compile/etc? HN. Needless to say I opened a new tab, typed "n", and hit enter countless times today before my brain caught up with my muscle memory.

Makes you appreciate the noprocrast mode feature.

Tried it once, never again!

That was a rough 6 hours

It really was.

Yeah, I had to _actually work_ for once. Glad that I can finally distract myself again :)

My first thought was that my own Internet was down. My second was that HN was somehow dependent on Rogers. Hard to go through a Friday afternoon without HN!

Previous post on the HN status twitter account is from June 2021.

Over a year with no issues. Impressive.

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.

It's not even improbable if the disks are the same kind purchased at the same time.

I've been meaning to try that feature. Will probably check it out next week.

Worst couple of hours of my life.
