Could have been accidental flagging of sorts. Didn't work on PC for few minutes while showing fine on phone.

You handle your irrational anger much better than whatevermrfukz who keeps pooping his pants.

We can live without the former, but not HN!

you could refuse to be angry to mock it
Re: Tell HN: HN was down
#45It was the first time since I started using this website (August last year) that it was down.
I'm still impressed nonetheless.
I'd like to know what caused the outage and how it could have been prevented, for learning purposes.

#48Is this still a valid account for HN status? It says it’s the official one, but with the changes at Twitter to no longer show chronological feeds (at least for users that aren’t logged in), it’s rather useless. The top 5 listed post (for me) are seemingly random from 2014 - 2022.
Is there a better place to check, beyond a basic down detector that may provide more insight or signal that the outage is acknowledged?

Could this be a self-inflicted bug? In that case, the broader point still stands: cloud providers can cause outages that are outside your direct realm of responsibility.

#50When it was down my thought was "damnit, I'll actually have a productive workday now."
