A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Too much load? Reddit is down.
Not enough load? Believe it or not, also down.
I'd love to know what it is about subreddits going private that caused issues.
Maybe some overload caused by a process having to dig deeper to find best/top posts?
apparently that's exactly the case.
That is an interesting aspect no engineer could have foreseen!
You'd be surprised how much critical infrastructure was implemented through trial and error and has just been left like that for years...
Anything less than 99% of infrastructure working that way would be surprising. Everything is held together with scotch tape and scotch whisky.
I'll be sure to repeat that last line to my fellow team members :D
