> Over Quota

This application is temporarily over its serving quota. Please try again later.

I'm actually not super sure is this is a single-serving joke site like isthemissiononfire.com, or if this is just a hilarious coincidence.

I use App Engine's static file serving to serve my site. It has a 1 GB/day bandwidth limit. It turns out Hacker News still moves a lot of traffic, so this is the first time I've crossed it! Oops. Billing is now enabled on this project.

The Google Cache for it seems to be good, for anyone still getting this error. (It's still down for me.)

I thought that was pretty funny lol! They probably weren't expecting all that traffic from hacker news

What host is that? GCE? How much quota do you need for a tech blog (as opposed to kardashian watch or whatever)?
