Networking issues at our hosting provider. Sorry! Hoping to be back up soon

HN is running again, on a new server created from backups. Will be monitoring closely. Sorry everyone for the inconvenience!

Working on restoring from backups the slow way, since failover server also failed. No ETA yet, but we're getting there.

HN is down again with what appears to be a second disk failure. This is on the fallback server, which we switched to last night when the primary server failed. Will update when we know more. Sorry all!

Welp, figured out why - because I am idiot. Routine code change exploded performance. Only took me 2 hours to think of reverting it. Sorry!

Sorry all - server is smoking right now, trying to figure out why

Back now. Got to write some code for a change...
