alt Hacker NewsI got stuck in an infinite loop.
Try opening HN -> it's down, better check HN to see everyone talking about a major website being down -> Try opening HN -> loop

Yeah me too. Wake up -> HN down -> That's weird, oh well it's usually only down for a few minutes -> I should check if HN is still down -> That's weird, oh well it's usually only down for a few minutes -> I should check if HN is still down -> loop.
That was a few hours ago. I'm glad this loop is broken.
Yeah, I had assumed something very major must have happened for HN to go down, lmao and I even asked in some linux discord server regarding it asking if there is a major outage as hackernews is down
I woke up and was wondering if I’ve just woken up in hell!
HN is how I discover whether other sites are down or not, so it serves a critical function, so of course I check it frequently.

Sometimes I'll catch myself absentmindedly reopening the browser and checking two or three front pages, seconds after having just checked them and closed the browser.
