The best data I have on that is the delta between Cloudflare numbers and Plausible numbers - but that's not quite the right comparison, because for Cloudflare I have all traffic to my site, not just traffic to that specific page (which I can get from Plausible).

What about device OS or browser data? User-agent should be enough for a meaningful breakdown.

People mainly use the twitter app. HN is just a website. I'd expect more desktop users from HN.

EDIT: oh I see. It's in the github repo and vercel app.

Mobile 778,678

Desktop 101,216

Laptop 47,781

Tablet 16,967

Yeah the device data from Plausible is here: https://i-will-not-harm-you-unless-you-harm-me-first.vercel....
I think you can reasonably assume that the cloudflare traffic from that time is almost entirely headed to this page, minus your baseline number from other posts. The "total requests" will be completely skewed, but "unique visitors" should be okay.

A lot of the HN crowd seems to use adblockers and script blocking.
