A major site being hard down for 1hr+ and everyone just shrugs and says it happens... unless it's Twitter, in which case it's a harbinger of the company dying and how this shouldn't happen to major sites.
Hackernews is crawling also. How am I to procrastinate?!
Hah! I’m sitting here waiting for eye surgery and figured it was slow hospital wifi. You’re right, though. Other sites are quick! If someone screws up and kills me, HN will be the last thing I remember. ;-)

Reddit is down at least once a week, but this is certainly a different error message than normal: "Our CDN was unable to reach our servers". Normally it's just something vague like "Oops, something went wrong". I'm also amused at the possible explanation that they might have simply improved their error messages, causing us to assume this is a different sort of outage than usual.

what was the gist of it?
It was a screenshotted post on r/LinkedInLunatics about how unqualified 99% of the candidates at Reddit are, and how it should be illegal to apply for a job if you don't meet 100% of the qualifications. There was also a subplot to the rant that blamed the dearth of qualified candidates on 'Tik Tok Thots' (paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact demeaning term the author used to objectify female tiktok users)

Is reddit on-prem or in the cloud? If in the cloud, AWS/GCE have tons of redundancy in power, internet connectivity, etc.

any recs?
Ah hah, the classics first He who fights with Monsters (edgelord Australian goes brr) Defiance of the Fall (axe man goes brr) Primal Hunter (archer goes brr) Azarinth Healer (lady who punches goes brr) There's probably about four months of continuous reading involved in the above and only Azarinth is actually finished, the others have no end in sight. I am legally obliged at this point to ask have you read Cradle? Cr…
I haven't explored litrpgs much yet, but I had a great time with Worm and it seems like they live in a similar space. Will check some of these out!

Thanks! I have not yet read Cradle but often see it recommended. I haven't explored litrpgs much yet, but I had a great time with Worm and it seems like they live in a similar space. Will check some of these out!
If you find something you like and plan to keep reading, it's well worth the cost.
