Too much traffic from HN? ``` Too Many Requests The page you have tried to access is not available because the owner of the file you are trying to access has exceeded our short term bandwidth limits. Please try again shortly. Details: Actioning this file would cause "jbkempf.com//blog/2026/dav2d/" to exceed the per-day file actions limit of 160000 actions, try again later ```

  I don't know if I'm underestimating HN's reach but I doubt we did that, probably traffic from a much bigger aggregator/forum
  - jezzamon 4mo ago
    You are underestimating HN's reach, this happens all the time. As someone who has been on the front page of HN it's a pretty big rush in traffic!
    - pstuart 4mo ago
      I'd wager that the load is amplified by other sites that treat HN as a goldmine of tasty links.
  - NorwegianDude 4mo ago
    Hacker news doesn't generate much traffic, despite what people are saying. The host here has a limit of 160000 files served each day. That is extremely low. If the site has an icon, css, a js file and a few images it's 10 files each visit. That's will limit it to 16k visits/day. If there are more files loaded it might just handle a few thousand visits, and they have received more than that from HN now.

      Wait really? I'm not really sure what to think and I posted before I saw this... I wonder why the limit is so low?

      Well, if every asset request hits the origin (no CDN, no caching...) that would be a misconfiguration of the website. It should never happen for a blog.

      A decade ago I was on the front page and saw ~16k uniques/hour I think?
    - BetterThanSober 4mo ago
      Yeah misconfig would also be my guess, too much cache miss
  - kaka314 4mo ago
    Yeah, it's hard to tell thb, just a guess. But potentially the site also misconfigured their server, causing too much cache misses and hitting the server direclty.

    The HN hug of death is real. If you aren’t prepared, it can set fire to your server room.

      Oldtimers 'round these parts call it "slashdotted"

        I'll forever miss Web 1.0

        Slashdot was Web 2.0 in every respect except for the mid-2000s design aesthetic.

  most likely the millions of llm bots that scrape hn and stuff hugged it when it got to frontpage.
