Site seems to be down. Any ideas how big these HN hugs of death usually are? How big of a traffic spike brings these servers down?

- Exuma 9y agoIt's not down
- stratosgear 9y agoHmm weird. I get: This site can’t be reached segment.com refused to connect. Try: Checking the connection ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED Maybe something local to me only?
- psadauskas 9y agoIts probably an ad- or tracker-blocker. I had to disable mine to be able to load segment.com, since they're pretty much a tracking company.
- fouadmatin 9y agoMight be an adblock issue? (some blockers treat direct access to a website and loading an anlytics snippet as the same)
- asadlionpk 9y agoYou are probably blocking this site in your hosts file. Since it's a tracking tool.
- disconnected 9y agoCheck your ad blocker/hosts file. In here, uMatrix just blocks the site with the message: > uMatrix has prevented the following page from loading: > https://segment.com/blog/exactly-once-delivery/ https://segment.com/blog/exactly-once-delivery/ I checked, and one of my uMatrix hosts files includes 'www.segment.com'.
- stratosgear 9y agoYep. Disabling AdAway seems to do the trick. Thanks for the heads up
- goodplay 9y agoYou can also add an exception for a blocked site by marking it green and clicking on the opened padlock in the umatrix panel. No need to nuke a city to get a fly.

- fouadmatin 9y agohm seems to be up for me? you might've caught our autoscaler mid-scaling!
- crgwbr 9y agoI got front paged once a few years ago, it was about 15,000 page views in the course of a few hours. It's probably grown since then, but sure by what factor.
