philipwhiuk 3 months ago HN is running on the server the rest of the cloud rents time from.The outages are the Roomba.
HN is just one active and one standby server at M5 Computer Security running BSD.
There are things out there which are running from a bare metal host, without relying on someone else's computer (aka the cloud). HN is one of them.
They stopped using Cloudflare some time ago

Because HN doesn't use Cloudflare.
Also doesn't use AWS or Azure because it didn't go down with them either.
HN sometimes rarely is pointed to AWS when under attack.

Does HN self-host too?
