alt Hacker NewsDown as well. I noticed my error code ends with "DTW" which is my local Detroit airport. I noticed someone else's comment ended with "ORD" which is a Chicago airport. Anyone else's ending in an airport acronym?

This is common when naming data centers. I know many have not worked in hardware infra these days if you were born into the cloud world, but in the old days it was not uncommon to name a data center after the nearest airport code, much like we now use cloud regions.
Mine is ending with IST, which is the new Istanbul airport, weird indeed.
Wow mine ends in EWR...that's the newark airport which is not the closest, but a close airport to me. Hmm
Yep, mine says YUL -- Montreal's airport.
The acronym is probably Cloudflare's edge
Yeah mine is showing ATL
cf-ray is the Cloudflare ray id, which ends with the airport code for the colo that served the response. They're airport codes, but that's just to show the nearest city.
