HN has been slow/failing for me today. I assumed it was the WWDC keynote, in particular the One More Thing...

Um what? That’s not how the internet works.

I think they meant the keynote resulted in massive traffic to HN resulting in HN giving itself the hug of death.

Totally plausible provided the overlap in communities.

Had trouble with Google Chat messages getting queued. They automatically retried and were delivered only after restarting the device (Android). This was approximately 2.5 hours ago.

Might some of the trouble be related to the lower Manhattan internet outage today? https://hellgatenyc.com/lower-manhattans-internet-is-down

I don't know if this was related, but earlier today my personal internet dropped to 1mbps down for at least 30 minutes. Also had 40% packet loss using the cloudflare speed test on a wired connection. East coast, USA.

I had the same thing happen. I assumed it was my suboptimal wifi setup acting up again and almost got back to researching mesh systems.

I’ve come to love powerline adapters when expanding Wi-Fi coverage just in case you haven’t looked into them. Speeds of the latest adapters are up to 2.4Gbps!

Not sure if this would cause larger regional harm, but anecdotally there were issues connecting to our US east VPN at work.

developer.apple.com for account management has also been down most of the day.

They always take down apple.com during a WWDC

Interesting, usually this sort of thing turns up on the NANOG mailing list, but it's been pretty quiet over there.
