#73Looks like 3 hrs https://hackernews.onlineornot.com/incidents/yaz-eOJeARBL https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/hacker-news Strangely, nothing from the statuspal, which is the first google result https://hacker-news.statuspal.io/
Interestingly it stayed up if you weren't logged in.
also went down if you went to login, and people's individual pages were also down. So as far as I saw the front page was up as long as you were not logged in, however I'm not sure if that wasn't just luck of the draw, I had one experience where it looked like maybe the front page was sometimes down for not logged in users as well.
on edit: ok others pointed out it was cached pages I saw. explains it.

#74I got stuck in an infinite loop.

It just reinforces for me that addiction is a human problem not a problem with technology I know dang basically works tirelessly to not change the format in order to not induce those addictive patterns but yet here we all are
It's a website with the smartest people in the world. The level of conversations here are unrivaled in internet communities. It's understandable to be addicted. Lol. I visit this place multiple times a day.
It's really not 'the smartest people.' It's people interested in tech, and often in making-a-lot-of-money-in-tech. It does have a lot of people with significant industry experience, which is cool.

Complaining about downvotes usually gets you more downvotes, so the response here isn't really that surprising.

#78Thought it had something to do with some model updates, like Gemini Flash 3 for a moment.

You handle your irrational anger much better than whatevermrfukz who keeps pooping his pants.
Interesting that you mention that, how do you keep track of his comments? Some sort of plugin/scraper?
> how do you keep track of his comments?
You can just look at them, turn on showdead in your profile and you'll see a bunch of flag-killed comments in this discussion by whatevermrfukz. No need for a plugin or scraper.
Re: Tell HN: HN was down
#80Is 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. https://x.com/HNStatus Is there a better place to check, beyond a basic down detector that may provide more insight or signal that the outa…
https://hn.hund.io/ Is a status page, no idea if official or not, but it didn't register here for some reason. I didn't read the post text, it's identified there haha, my bad! I wish the text post text wasn't grey, I gloss over it too easily.
This site said HN was fine and green the entire time it was down.
