It's likely that the cloud server changed ownership, and the old IP address remains somewhere in the DNS records. Similar cases with different websites are probably numerous.

nora-puchreiner commented on Ask HN: Any legal way against forced software upgrades and feature removal · Posted by u/djdule
That's one of the main reasons why I use NixOS (for Windows non-FOSS apps too): the apps have no permissions to self-upgrade, only root can do that.
Mobile is more difficult, the easiest way: buy a Huawei without Google services

Archive.is started in 2012, just after retirement, why these do not match?

There's no suggestion that would be a bad thing.
Just highlighting the flaw in your assumption that the anonymous person behind this is male.
Both names are unisex
> I haven't seen any evidence it is run by the NSA
kinda a nonstarter, eh?
> I also haven't seen any evidence that it isn't
You can say that for any conceivable cause. It means nothing. Why NSA? why not CIA? MI6? China Security? Some rich guy in Indonesia?
> must cost at least $10000
citation needed, but also is not high enough to suggest it needs to be state run
> Why NSA? why not CIA?
Apparently because it runs NSA software (Apache Accumulo) that is hardly used by anyone else

I’m smiling thinking of the reaction I’d get on our marketing team if I suggested: “Hey, I have an idea, let’s post a negative story on Hacker News so then people in the comments will say things and I can reply.”
John (our CTO) and I care about HN because we’re engineers at heart. Unfortunately, most the people we sell to today have never even heard of let alone participated in this community. But, over time, I hope as many of the people in this community get C’s in front of their titles and manage hundred million dollar IT budgets, I hope you’ll stay engaged here. More engineers in the C-suite would be great.
Though what you’ll find, sadly, is there’s still lots and lots of chaos.
It took time to realize what "big C" could refer besides the obvious "Comsomol".
Structurally the same, though :)

I do believe both parties see the other this way.
Archive.is believes that Cloudflare can simply provide the full EDNS data, and they're technically right. But Cloudflare won't budge because they believe this is hostile to user privacy. I haven't heard a counterargument that Cloudflare is wrong about this.
Cloudflare believes that Archive.is can simply live without the EDNS data, and they're technically right. But Archive.is won't budge because they believe it prevents their abuse prevention techniques. They mention that owning their own AS would solve the problem but that's too expensive.[1]
Blame is in the eye of the beholder, but it seems to me that Archive.is should find alternative abuse prevention techniques like other websites do. Cloudflare has an argument based on privacy. Archive.is has an argument based on the proper solution being too expensive. The expense of running an AS is disputed in this HN thread.[2]
I don't think the "the proper solution" is possible in 2023, and it's not a matter of the size of the money pile.
Google and Facebook were examples of "the proper solutions".
The former is currently inaccessible from China, the latter from Russia.
Their "abuse prevention techniques" have failed.
Sacrificing only Cloudflare DNS users is a much lesser evil compared to outcome of "the proper solutions".
