@siguza "It's causing us trouble despite using Cloudflare" they have max-age=0 so Cloudflare isn't caching anything :|

@siguza hackernews is roasting them hard too, apparently the site also went down from the "HN effect"

@nicolas17 Can you link me to that, please? This is something I'd like to read about.

@nicolas17 @siguza I was wondering if something like that could be the case...

I have read about people not configuring their CDNs properly which leads to the CDN not doing what it should do, i.e., deal with the increased load.

Though to be fair, that case was a case of "oops, I excluded tiny files from being cached, and my site is 100% tiny files", not a "we dump 200MB+ onto each client each time they request a page from us" thing.

Also, dear LORD, I thank thee for my adblockers, that's an insane amount of data to dump on each request.
