Hacker News Reader

How is Hacker News still up?

Because it doesn't use cloudflare duh.?

I have a handful of sites DNS/NS through Cloudflare, with their certificates, and they are working OK.

From their response headers, it seems like the request is coming from NGINX directly. How do they defend themselves against DOS attacks?

Big server. And if it goes down it goes down? Who cares, it's hackernews.

I thought they are running classic FreeBSD servers like in ye olde times.
