So, anyone want to talk about guitar pedals in here?
No, but we can talk about modding my sim rig pedals to load cell.

#52No other website of major size is as unreliable as reddit. In over 10 years of usage I've had noticeable facebook downtime only _once_. Meanwhile reddit seems have a major outage at least yearly and minor unavailability on an hourly basis. Even when they're not down, it's slow as fuck. Are they incompetent?
> Even when they're not down, it's slow as fuck. Have you tried https://old.reddit.com ? I find the main site is hella slow due to the way they use JS on it, and load the page content separately from the layout. But the old site where the content is served in-line is fine. The servers are plenty fast enough; it's just the dynamic architecture of the main site is totally busted.
Old Reddit is the only way I'll use Reddit. So much faster. I like the information density better, too.

#56I always like when people say Twitter's lower reliability will drive people off the site. Reddit's been awful for more than a decade and people still use it.
Canceling third party clients and the antics, as well as the bad management of Musk is what people drives away from Twitter not the reliability.
Twitter has put up those huge, ugly picture ads on comment and search feeds. Those ads are everywhere now. I think they risk annoying users with too many ads.

#57Looking at Downdetector it looks like Reddit and AWS started having problems simultaneously: https://downdetector.com/status/reddit/ https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/
I noticed Hacker News being slow at roughly the same time that Reddit went down, though that's probably a coincidence.
Or a causal thing....reddit being down means that some number of people switch to hackernews to pass time.

It has actually gotten a lot better. Incremental progress for a few years and we're in a fairly good place. This is highly unusual.
> It has actually gotten a lot better.
Come on, almost every evening you get error pages. Yes they don't last more than a few refreshes, but it's simply ridiculous for a site as prominent as Reddit.

#60It's GPT-4, starting the apocalypse. We just don't know it yet.
It's funny how so many of us half expect something like this to happen and won't be surprised when it does.
