Out of interest, how many requests does the hn-effect generate? Have any ‘show-hn’ participants ever provided this?



This video answers to your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CeK1TnGhIs


Not a whole lot of context or detail in that, it could be at the peak of the effect or at some other point in time (even just bau, or an unrelated dos)


I recorded that video from a computer that is connected to the same ethernet hub as the 486 server.


From memory as a rough estimate: When I had traffic influx from Reddit and HN it peaked at around 10 page views / second. Maybe 50k views in total including long tail?
