I've been frequenting this site daily for over 15 years now, and I don't think I've had error messages more than a handful of times in that decade and a half. Today was indeed one such time - which is what triggered me to check out this particular post. But at least in my experience it's not what I'd call "often". Maybe you're just very unlucky, or perhaps I'm extremely lucky... Who can tell?
- gpderetta 3y agoI had never seen it for more than a decade, but in the last couple of years it has become very frequent.
- 7thaccount 3y agoI get it happening every few weeks for a short amount of time it seems. More so recently (also been a site user for approximately 10 years).
- eterm 3y agoFor the past couple of months I've had these errors multiple times a day, it's definitely often down now.
- neom 3y agoMonths? I'd say I'm mildly addicted to HN and I noticed this week it was hit or miss, but only this week. Very surprised to hear you say months.
- soneca 3y agoI confirm that “months” seems the right time range for me (accessing from Brazil). I open HN, idk, 10 or 20 times a day, I would guess I see the error message around 5 to 10 times a week.
- neom 3y agoDo you have a VPN you can try on? I run a VPN connected to a San Fran server 24/7 on my mac and I very very rarely have issued with HN (or any internet issues at all tbh).

- xandrius 3y agoCareful of what you think while you are browsing the site, I've heard that they have some new tracking technology that downloads itself into your brain and turns it into a web socket to add delays to your requests, so you don't feel like posting anymore. Truly scary stuff.
- verticalscaler 3y agoI love you too. P.S. - This is a bog standard moderation mechanism and well known and widely discussed. Very nice and caring of you to tell people whose opinions you don't like that they are crazy. How kind.
- xandrius 3y agoCan you provide sources about this? If it's actually widely discussed it should be easy.
- piva00 3y agoNope, when you get rate limited there is a different message and it seems to only apply to posting. No conspiracy needed, it's just more unstable lately, I've noticed it as well the past few months.
- verticalscaler 3y agoHow come I was able to browse HN just fine from another browser? Nothing conspiratorial about it. I can see how it can just be normative moderation and them believing it is for the greater good. All this talk of correcting bias never seems apply to oneself however. ;)

- rozenmd 3y agoI've been keeping track, it goes down often (checking from US East, US West, Japan, Australia, and NL) https://hackernews.onlineornot.com/ https://hackernews.onlineornot.com/ here's what it looks like on the monitoring side: https://x.com/RozenMD/status/1763152885892727188?s=20 https://x.com/RozenMD/status/1763152885892727188?s=20 (HN is slightly more stable if you're logged out)
- voytec 3y agoI believe it's just a virtual machine and IP addresses are not anycast; no need to check from multiple locations when you can reach the host and the issue is in it returning HTTP 5xx.
- rozenmd 3y agoTrue, I mainly monitor from everywhere as a means of dogfooding my own service (and just incase HN gets replicas)

- eterm 3y agoDo you have a longer term graph please?
- rozenmd 3y agoI could make that happen, yeah
