i somehow am having traffic timeout to most cloudflare severs

I had all sorts of intermittent problems like this about 18 months ago. In my particular case it was

   The web server reported a bad gateway error.

Dan and I went back and forth a few times in email but didn't conclude anything before things cleared up. I haven't seen the problems since.

One thing to try is to set up a Personal Hotspot on a phone, and point your laptop at that. In my case I would still see the same errors.

Good luck.

Edit: this may be nothing but IIRC I had more problems trying to access HN anonymously than if I was logged in. Sounds crazy, but most intermittent problems are exactly that: crazy.
