Over the last few months we've seen so many "Page served from..." and most of them are just DOA. Why can't people put a little effort and host those pages on their hardware/software of choice but at least put them behind some CDN (at least for static resources)?
This is HN’s fault this time: it’s forcing HTTPS which the site doesn’t support. Try this, and it’ll work: http://reactos.aaron.cc/

Surely in this day and age one would set up https, that too on a website related page

Probably doesn't have a letsencrypt client.

Seems to have collapsed, but archive.org has a snapshot. https://web.archive.org/web/20220811232234/https://reactos.a...
Hasn't collapsed, you just need to access it through HTTP instead of HTTPS.
$ curl -v http://reactos.aaron.cc/

Thank you. I can't say I've been keeping up with my memes n that. The damn kids must have grown up or something! I have to say, it is quite fun watching words, phrases and ideas being made up on the fly at a prolific rate these days.

You and I both! It's fascinating.
