With that in mind I wonder what the uptime % of HN is, and if the master/standby setup involves automatic failover.

Occasional page load failure while logged in? Pretty common. Complete or nearly complete failure for logged-in users? Happens sometimes. Completely down such that not even a logged-out user can read it? I'm not sure I've ever seen that.

Has it bothered someone? Probably not.

In all my years, HN has been down just once.

I wonder if Reddit is ever going to fix their "you broke reddit" thing. I probably see that page a couple dozen times a year, and it's been going on since, what, 2014? Earlier maybe? It's like the Twitter fail whale. Except Twitter fixed their site.

Don't you mean a couple dozen times per day?

I notice short term outages every couple months. They usually don't last long.

I use HN a lot and it is very rare that it is down, and then only for a short period of time. (Not a very exact metric).

I do get an occasional no-response from firebase, but my guess is that this is really on my ISP. Again, that is also quite rare.
