Ahh Always check HN before trying to diagnose weird issues that shouldn't be connected

  Too bad that is the best we have!

  And the reason that works is because HN is mostly hosted on its own stuff, without weird dependencies on anything beyond "the servers being up" and "TCP mostly working."

    I believe it's on AWS after its two servers broke at the same time the other day.

      Yep $ host news.ycombinator.com news.ycombinator.com has address 50.112.136.166 $ host 50.112.136.166 166.136.112.50.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ec2-50-112-136-166.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com.

      Temporarily, yes.

  Living a bit more dangerously at the moment as HN is still running temporarily on AWS. (I'd link to the threads about this from a few weeks ago but am on my phone ATM.)

    I did notice it being a little slow but I'm also on 4G at the moment (it got the blame)
