Ask HN: How am I supposed to post on HN that HN is down when HN is down?

Go outside and take in the fresh air. (w/ a mask)

Currently raining. Afraid of water. If it rained Diet Coke, then I'd be happy to step outside.

I never thought to wonder if HN was running on Azure until this afternoon. I thought it was GCP because I think the database is Firebase... but is it on Azure and connecting to Firebase?

Good question. I resisted the temptation to say "HN is down, too!" when we got the Azure outage announcement at work :)

On another thread someone mentioned that HN is hosted here (and they have had issues this afternoon as well):
