I would bet it's stale DNS from their (HN) migration to cloudflare. The home broadband must cache records ignoring their TTL/expiry.

I don't think it should be assumed that there is no data redundancy between pods, afterall from prior blog posts it seems like the pods can be taken offline. I'd also posit that a properly constructed RAID array can mitigate the risks of using consumer parts; afterall that is the "I" in RAID.
