Is HN slower than usual?
Also, it has been down for a few minutes.
Edit: It seems to be back to normal.
Seems like the internet in general is a bit hiccup-y, spotify & discord down, etc.
Same observation here in western Europe
Not down, just slow to respond and periodically getting the "We're having trouble serving your request" page
For what it's worth, when HN has speed issues, the ubiquitous answer is to log out.
If you're not logged in, they give a static page that is served quickly with little effort on the server's part.
Internet is a bit slow here in Eastern Europe.. not just HN.
Everyone checking about other outages, perhaps.
Note that there's a war on.
spotify works, hn was down a few minutes ago
