I can confirm this; I'm in Durban, South Africa. It says something about a gateway timeout and pops the HN error page with the twitter feed.
Next time it happens, will screenshot and send to cloudflare.
- mappu 11y agoLacking any further context i'm almost certain this isn't an issue with cloudflare, instead with the upstream web server. I saw a cloudflare gateway timeout on HN within the last hour, and the twitter feed had a recent post excusing some technical issue.
- akhatri_aus 11y agoThese don't have the twitter feed excusing the issue, the last tweet was a days prior when it happened last. It's as if they only affect African users, the Johannesburg PoP is also used by Kenyan users. At first, I wondered why the HN Feed never explained the downtime. Then it made sense, it must be cloudflare. Given that CloudFlare is everywhere & on everyone's websites, it's a pain when it behaves this way affecting users all over a continent. Uptime websites also report the site as up.
