Ask HN: Is HN Crashing Periodically?

1 points by marymkearney 3y ago ↗ HN

I'm getting this message from time to time when clicking an HN link. Then a few minutes later it works normally again.

"We're having some trouble serving your request. Sorry!" https://paste.pics/6b18bddc072402d8e675cfd88cb16e14

Server-side or client-side? Anyone else seeing this? I did the screenshot, but didn't think to copy the code. Thanks.

Edit: Replaced short link with full link.

Yes, more often recently. Usually fine after 1-2x refreshing.

Pretty sure this is server side

Yeah, I saw that myself today. (Right after I posted a slightly snarky response to a troll, too—I wondered if I'd been banned at first.)
