No, it wasn’t the crush of traffic to Safran’s final address (above) that took Lost Remote and hundreds of other sites offline. Instead, a truck hit a transformer and caused a power bump at a Dallas RackSpace datacenter.

The RackSpace outage sent dominoes crashing into Laughing Squid, which hosts LR and hundreds of other sites.
