Unsure if anything has changed since

(Edit: probably not) I think they also are behind Cloudflare and they use Algolia for search

So not everything is running there

Not Cloudflare's address.

They had a hardware failure this year and were for a really short time on a cloud instance and behind cloudflare.

While most of your statement is true, it was direct-from-AWS (at least from my testing, so I'm not sure if some users were routed through Cloudflare).

Oh you might be right I could've sworn traceroute said cloudflare when I probed it.

> Algolia

Are you referring to https://hn.algolia.com/?

pretty sure Algolia runs that for free (for marketing)
