DOS from HN's very own Slashdot effect...
- sillywalk 3y agoFor those who are wondering WTF is a Slashdot, and how does it effect websites. https://tech.slashdot.org/story/24/01/03/0017242/25-years-since-the-first-real-slashdot-effect https://tech.slashdot.org/story/24/01/03/0017242/25-years-si... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot_effect
- hdjrbrbn 3y agoSlashdot was the GOTO site in the late 90's early 00's for tech news...
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoWeird to think there are now people so young in these types of discussions that wouldn't know about Slashdot.
- saghm 3y agoI was only vaguely aware of Slashdot (and never had heard this effect referred to by that name), and at 30, I'm probably more than a decade older than at least someone in this thread. If you want "weird", think of the fact that a baby named after Hurricane Katrina would be old enough to vote in this year's US presidential election.

- pjmlp 3y agoI get that all the time, as most of my collegues don't get jokes related to TV series that predate them. I have learned to avoid such remarks, unless surrounded by 40y+ folks.
