HN was down because the failover server also failed: https://twitter.com/HNStatus/status/1545409429113229312

Double disk failure is improbable but not impossible.

The most impressive thing is that there seems to be no dataloss, almost whatsoever. Whatever the backup system is, it seems rock solid.

What was the test to determine the dataloss?

Informal. My last upvote was pretty close to when HN went down, so I expected my karma to go down, but it didn't.

Also I remember the "Why we're going with Rails" story on the front page from before it went down.
