Reddit Is Down
- djbusby 4y agoWith all the tech layoffs they can get some SREs? Gotta be online to sell ads for your IPO.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoI can't link to it right now since the link is on reddit, but it's kinda funny timing with the rant one of their recruiters did on LinkedIn over the weekend
- tayo42 4y agowhat was the gist of it?
- Rebelgecko 4y agoIt was a screenshotted post on r/LinkedInLunatics about how unqualified 99% of the candidates at Reddit are, and how it should be illegal to apply for a job if you don't meet 100% of the qualifications. There was also a subplot to the rant that blamed the dearth of qualified candidates on 'Tik Tok Thots' (paraphrasing because I don't remember the exact demeaning term the author used to objectify female tiktok users)
- tayo42 4y agoOh hah that's funny, I applied there a couple weeks haven't heard anything of course. Figured it would be something like that lol I know we all don't like social media but it does provide some gems haha

- AustinDev 4y agoHN is having issues as well...
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- tgv 4y agoFrom my end, European sites load quickly.
- leros 4y agoI'm wondering if Hackernews is just getting extra load since Reddit is down.
- forgotpwd16 4y agoHN, the place where one goes to see if a big tech site is actually down.
- no_pomegranates 4y agoSample size of 1 but I came to HN right now specifically to look for the discussion on this.
- the_lucifer 4y agoI feel called out since I opened up HN as Reddit wasn’t loading
- Workaccount2 4y agoLooks like I'll have to get back to work
- irrational 4y agoI had just changed my DNS settings when I tried Reddit and it didn't work and then tried HN and it was really really slow. I was starting to think there was something wrong with my DNS change until I saw this post and comment.

- GalenErso 4y ago"Productivity jumps by unexpected 2.3% in Q1: NBER" "'We don't know where it's coming from', said Jasper Bruch, economist at the National Bureau of Economic Research. 'It's an outlier, but other indicators have held steady. Your guess is as good as mine.' The Federal Reserve did not comment."
- kingTug 4y agoHackernews is crawling also. How am I to procrastinate?!
- johnaspden 4y agoIt'll keep until tomorrow.
- backtoyoujim 4y agothe lights are flashing from their screens and the bunnies is still furiously tapping their paddles in their cages meanwhile the treats stoppeth for no matter how many times paw goes to button there are not more treats to be had. the experiment is over.
- code_duck 4y agoIt's a good chance to ponder how or where I will waste time once Reddit is ruined somehow.
- allenrb 4y agoHah! I’m sitting here waiting for eye surgery and figured it was slow hospital wifi. You’re right, though. Other sites are quick! If someone screws up and kills me, HN will be the last thing I remember. ;-)
- jedberg 4y agoFWIW the usual outcome of messing up eye surgery is blindness, not death. Good luck! :)
- sillysaurusx 4y agoIn that case, the last thing they’ll remember is that lovely orange banner. For the rest of their lives. Imagine going blind and only being able to recall your loved ones’ faces, and the header of your favorite website.

- theshrike79 4y agoSomeone misconfigured a switch at a major node again?
- mkl95 4y agoDNS apocalypse incoming
- dageshi 4y agoWhere the hell am I going to talk about bad litrpg's?
- cauthon 4y agoany recs?
- SecretDracula 4y agoYou want recs for bad ones?
- NineStarPoint 4y agoWell even if one belives there is such a thing as a good litrpg, anyone who likes the genre is going to have read those already. So yeah any litrpg connoisseur is going to be looking for recommended bad ones.
- bacchusracine 4y agoHave this then: Reject Humanity, Return to Monke https://www.webnovel.com/book/reject-humanity-return-to-monke_19240464105759305 https://www.webnovel.com/book/reject-humanity-return-to-monk... Parts are NSFW but then you (or the parent poster) did ask for bad ones...
- dageshi 4y agoAh hah, the classics first He who fights with Monsters (edgelord Australian goes brr) Defiance of the Fall (axe man goes brr) Primal Hunter (archer goes brr) Azarinth Healer (lady who punches goes brr) There's probably about four months of continuous reading involved in the above and only Azarinth is actually finished, the others have no end in sight. I am legally obliged at this point to ask have you read Cradle? Cradle is not litrpg, but everyone likes it and those who don't are considered to be strange lepers (assuming you enjoy litrpg or progression fantasy at all) Other honourable mentions.. Mother Of Learning Dungeon Crawler Carl
- 323 4y agoPeople on both Reddit and HN are updating their bots to GPT-4 and testing the upgrade, so yeah, there is a lot of extra posts on these sites causing load.
- derefr 4y agoIs there a directory of known AI forum-posting bots? Would be interesting to see what uses they’re being put to / what they’re tuned to talk about.
- Archelaos 4y agoThey have flame wars all the time.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 4y agoThere’s disparate efforts to identify, out, and ban these bots. So probably not, and if there is is likely too stale to be good for anything but academic endeavors.

- flutas 4y agoWonder if some of their critical infra got hit by a power outage?[0] Really a power outage shouldn't cause this as backups and generators...but maybe something was overlooked? Guess we will just have to wait and see what the postmortem says. [0]: Context: https://poweroutage.us/ https://poweroutage.us/ EDIT: Seems like a no based on the latest update. > Identified - We've identified an internal systems issue and are working to determine a fix.
- alfalfasprout 4y agoIs reddit on-prem or in the cloud? If in the cloud, AWS/GCE have tons of redundancy in power, internet connectivity, etc.
- a2tech 4y agoIf I recall correctly they're in the cloud
- paradox460 4y agoThey moved to AWS early early. There used to be an old picture of someone (iirc Alexis) joking about shutting down the data center they were in, and hosing Twitter in the process. Would have been 2008-9 era
- solarmist 4y agoExcept AWS is experiencing issues now. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35157388 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35157388
- takeda 4y agoWay to push your biases. The most affected part of California is central: https://poweroutage.us/area/state/california https://poweroutage.us/area/state/california It's because they currently have floods there. Reddit runs on AWS and they don't have region in central CA so it's obvious whatever they are experiencing is unrelated.
- kibwen 4y agoReddit is down at least once a week, but this is certainly a different error message than normal: "Our CDN was unable to reach our servers". Normally it's just something vague like "Oops, something went wrong". I'm also amused at the possible explanation that they might have simply improved their error messages, causing us to assume this is a different sort of outage than usual.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- susodapop 4y agoFor me reddit.com is alive and well but old.reddit.com has CDN issues.
- dmonitor 4y agonew.reddit.com loads but has a bunch of error messages where the posts should be on my end
- plim8481 4y agoTime to get back to work...
- AlbertCory 4y agoI had a long post and it said "please fix the identified issues" when there weren't any.
- smbullet 4y agoIs Source 2 out?
- drstewart 4y agoA major site being hard down for 1hr+ and everyone just shrugs and says it happens... unless it's Twitter, in which case it's a harbinger of the company dying and how this shouldn't happen to major sites.
- code_duck 4y agoReddit wasn't recently bought by someone who fired 80% of the staff.
- sirmike_ 4y agoProbably for the best.
- solarmist 4y agoWonder if it's related to the AWS issues? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35157388 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35157388
- ProZsolt 4y agoold.reddit.com is back online, new and the app is still down.
