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?

I came to the same conclusion by observing that there are posts and comments from only eight hours ago.

So that means dataloss.. Probably restored from backup.

Good news for people who were banned, or for posts that didn't get enough momentum :)

edit: Was restored from backup.. so def. dataloss

If the server went down at XX:XX, and the backup they restored from is also from XX:XX, there isn't dataloss. If the server was down for 8 hours, the last data being 8 hours old isn't dataloss, it's correct.
