Suddenly my server started getting thousands of requests per minute and my varnish cache hit rate jumped to 99%. Thank god for varnish!

Looks like the reddit blackout is #1 on the frontpage of hackernews, and this article is #2.

I actually posted this article to hackernews, but I never got a single upvote. This isn't my first time getting on the frontpage of hackernews, but it always happens when someone else reposts my link.

Can anyone tell me how the fuck hackernews' algorithm works to where I can't ever get traction but someone else does after me?

All I can say is that on "getting traction" I've only heard frustration, indifference or surprise. Something seems whack there.
