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.

is dang pushing changes and such on his own?

sounds like it is run by one guy

HN will be around a hundred years. I think it's more than just a forum. We've seen lots of people coordinate during disasters, for example. Dan and his team do a good job running it. (I'm not a part of it.)

EDIT: My response was based on some edits that are now removed.

You are overstimating HN way too much.

>>rat998+R6
A hundred years, I give it 10 tops.

It’s already been around since 2007. How many decades does HN need to be around before people realize it’s an institution?

>>sillys+q8
The reason it's an institution is because it hasn't been bought by some corp trying to squeeze value out of eyeballs, which is why it hasn't really changed much.

However, it takes money and time to keep it around in a not for profit way, so it will be an institution as long as it's funding is the same.
