An attack is not typically what brings a site down. If one site is down, a single site, then its maintenance, or their servers are rebooting. anons here need to familiarize themselves with downdetector.com
The only time something is maybe worthy of a downtime post is if you go there and see many sites down
One news site going down is not worthy of anyones time, especially yours to make the post
Most companies, if they do schedule maintenance, try to do so at the least trafficked time. A 24 hour news site with a global audience doesn't really have a "3 am time slot" as it is a global audience.
Companies also announce a major maintenance downtimes in advance if it is truly something that critical, like completely switching over to new infrastructure. There was no maintenance warning on this.
Gateway Pundit uses CloudFlare, which is a system of mirroring servers worldwide to keep the site up if something goes down. This wasn't occurring at the time they were down. That's a bit of a red flag as well.
It's so nice to know that in addition to your coding authority, you also hold credentials in "when to post," "how to post," "what not to post," "how to not waste people's time," and most importantly, "how I should spend my time and what I should post."
Thankfully, you're here and have reached out to help me. I'm not sure how I could have possibly continued on in life without you.
None of this would have been possible had you not learned how to code.
