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.

is dang pushing changes and such on his own? sounds like it is run by one guy

HN will be around a hundred years. I think it's more than just a forum. We've seen lots of people coordinate during disasters, for example. Dan and his team do a good job running it. (I'm not a part of it.)

EDIT: My response was based on some edits that are now removed.

I wonder if things like double disk failures and restores from backup make HNers of the "bare metal 4ever" tribe revisit their cloud hatred.

What makes you think that? That's just a tweet from an unrelated account.

What was the test to determine the dataloss?

I came to the same conclusion by observing that there are posts and comments from only eight hours ago.

So that means dataloss.. Probably restored from backup.

Good news for people who were banned, or for posts that didn't get enough momentum :)

edit: Was restored from backup.. so def. dataloss

And all those poor project managers at the end of 2022 wondering what on earth they did right on the 8th of July that caused productivity to reach previously unthinkable heights.
