Mr. dang, can I use the opportunity to suggest to turn the tiny upvote and downvote arrows into links, separated by sufficient distance? My fingertip is 15x larger than these arrows and it takes quite a bit of precision to hit the right one. I bet, half of upvotes and downvotes are erroneous for this reason.

During the outage, listed places to check HN related systems, posted them here:

Yep: if you buy a pair disks together, there's a fair chance they'll both be from the same manufacturing batch, which correlates with disk defects.
Eek - now I'm glad I wait a few months before buying each disk for my NAS. Not doing it for this reason but rather financial ones :) But as I have a totally mixed bunch of sizes I have no RAID and a disk loss would be horrible.
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.

Yep. Same. It says a lot about the quality of HN, I think. Also, I can't remember the last time it was down. For a while, I thought there must be something wrong with my internet connection or DNS config or something.

I bet thousands of people checked their network and DNS settings today. hn is what I use to make sure I have a connection
I'm sorry, this kind of thing reeks of point "whoring" to me, and I consider that to be an indefensible thing to do; it's pollution. We can see the site. We know it's up. We don't need to be told. Stop doing things purely to increase your score. This isn't a game. Etc.

> 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. I do this too, and it's because this site is an addictive slot machine just like every other social networking site. I actually really hate this website, but I'm here almost every day, because I can't seem to break the habit. Neat. It's probably because I have a common impulse control…
My solution: a 3-hour focus mode browser extension.
1. Install the BlockSite chrome extension [1]. 2. In BlockSite settings, add HN, Twitter, and any other distracting sites to the Focus Mode list and set Focus Mode time to 3 hours. 3. Ensure you uninstall all social media apps from your phone 4. When I find myself opening a new tab and typing "n" to get a dopamine hit, I then turn on my 3-hour focus mode.

Must admit it was really hard to find out what was going on. I stumbled upon a twitter link somewhere deep down a list of search results. Doe HN have a status page of any kind?
oh thank god you put this here, I was unable to determine this for myself.
