Is it just me or HN also feels kinda laggy?
It's all those people coming back to the real web.

#232Facebook is proving that it's systemically important by taking the entire site down..... Zuckerberg is taking his ball and going home unless you stop writing mean things about him /s
Used to have a manager that we swore did exactly that. Every time he was away on holiday, mysterious site problems to prove his worth!

#233Would be very interesting if they release the RCA to the public
Re: Facebook-owned sites were down
#234Funny enough, I went to https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ to check if Facebook is down, and isitdownrightnow is down itself... probably from the massive number requests coming to check if Facebook is down
I personally like https://isup.me (alias of downforeveryoneorjustme.com) because it's much shorter.
isup.me/facebook gets me what I want.

#235some poor engineer is sobbing over a split brain mnesia cluster right now praying to get the thing back up.

Definitely laggy for me as well. Went to Facebook and couldn’t so come here to check in and the load time made me think oh it must be my wifi is not working with 2 sites not opening then finally HN opened. Then tried to hit reply to your post and again seemed like it wouldn’t load then finally did. So yes laggy usually this is the one site that loads almost instantly.

#238Suspecting it might be related to the recent letsencrypt cert authority expiring?
Was just debugging an issue earlier today and just couldn't help wondering how much of the internet is secured by letsencrypt.
All of the static hosts providing free SSL: vercel, netlify, render, firebase hosting, github pages, heroku etc. ...
It does work on modern browsers and devices but goes terribly broken on a lot of old devices.

#239Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm seeing similar DNS errors for many non-Facebook sites.
Do you have some examples?
normashooting.com - but only when, like the parent poster, using Google's DNS servers. Just switched to Cloudflare and it works.
Using Google DNS:
nslookup
> normashooting.com
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
* server can't find normashooting.com:
SERVFAIL
Using Cloudflare DNS servers:
> normashooting.com Server: 1.1.1.1
Address: 1.1.1.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: normashooting.com
Address: 104.22.56.165
Name: normashooting.com
Address: 104.22.57.165
