What the ... ?! The hacker-news "hug of death" today was crazy! 🤯

One of the lighter articles on my blog (https://blog.hofstede.it/shell-tricks-that-actually-make-life-easier-and-save-your-sanity/) made it to the HN start page and generated 8000 requests within 6 hours.

My webserver did easil tolerate that (static site generator ftw!) but Grafana Loki choked on the webserver log, crashing parts of my monitoring infrastructure (needed a limit increase) ..

Amazong to see that people seem to enjoy that content 🙂
