They go down somewhat frequently. I think it’s like four 9’s? I’m not sure why they insist on running just a few machines though. They have more than enough money and probably make up the difference by the advertising for YC that they get.

Those are rare, and can be dealt with relatively easily by dual connecting your server to two different networks and sharing across both and removing the dns entry for a broken one. But it’s not worthwhile for such a rare outage The “outages” that are common are slowdowns for logged in users.

- ShamelessC 3y agoThat’s fair. To clarify my frustration comes from a place of “love”. When a partial or complete outage happens I get severe HN withdrawals.
