Even when the internet is down, HN is still up

  I believe you're making a joke, but just in case you're serious, rest assured the Internet is doing just fine and is far from "down". Nobody can shut down the Internet. Here it's just a single network/server operator experiencing problems. If this operator happened to be me, we wouldn't even be talking about it. But it appears it's a well-known CDN that many other service providers rely on because of a really obscure reason. When they moved to the "cloud" they didn't (or didn't want to) realize it was just someone else's computer. When you own all of your infrastructure, you usually have a much better uptime than all these fancy cloud services with unscheduled downtimes and beyond-explanation "works from here, doesnt from there" kind of experience. Hell, even a lowcost server from OVH has better uptime and experience than these cloud companies... at least until a fire comes along ;) Please convince all people you know we need to keep the Internet decentralized. Fuck cloud companies, let's own our own parts of the Internet!
