Exciting news: Sometime in the not-too-distant future I'm going to be moving Ninfora to my server in New Zealand! This server is a very significant hardware upgrade for the site with 8x as many CPU threads, 8x as much RAM, and more than 16x as much disk. Once this migration is complete, I will increase the upload cap from 512 MB to 4 GB, and it will be easier to increase this even further down the road if ever necessary. With the site upgrade, performance will ideally be roughly similar. Since the server will be NZ-based, the latency to the origin server will be higher for most of you, although this should be somewhat offset by the far beefier hardware. I will share more information about this with a site-wide announcement when I've scheduled the migration.

Good find. If it's something server-side in that case, it might get improved with the next software update. Not sure when that will be.

@alienboyva the tweets are all using the new-style embed on my end. Try clearing your browser cache if it stops working properly at any point. Otherwise do let me know if you run into any further issues, but do note that it's likely outside of my control with the embed updates.

Paper Mario N64 and TTYD were two of my favourite games of all time. I really hope that this is more of a return to form, but it seems like it will still be lacking some RPG elements and there may not be partners. Nonetheless, I'm feeling a bit more optimistic for this than I was for Sticker Star or Colour Splash. I never did get around to playing those two games, and I don't really feel I've missed out.

Appreciated!

@Pichi I've tried out a few other browsers on dekstop and mobile, and everything seems to be rendering tweets and images as expected. Are you running any specific add-ons that I should test with, or anything of that nature? Does anyone else run into problems with images and tweets not displaying correctly? I'd like to resolve that if I can get to the bottom of it, but I'm not able to replicate anything on my end as of yet.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I've tested a few browsers - including Firefox, of course - and everything seems to be working fine on both desktop and mobile.

It's been a few weeks since there's been any forum upgrades on my end. It could be the Twitter embed itself that's changed as well, possibly. Either way, glad it looks better for you!

Second day in a row with no new cases here in New Zealand. We're starting to feel rather optimistic about opening up domestically sooner rather than later, but it's still too early to truly celebrate.

There's no bulk option for it yet. Are you nearing your space limit? If that's the issue, let me know and I'll see what can be done to increase it in the medium-term.

Strange, do let me know if it happens again. I didn't see anything on my end, but I do want to make sure that the site's performing smoothly at all times.

Performance is looking the same here. It's still snappy and fast, even with the extra latency from New Zealand. Is anyone else noticing slower speed? Nothing should have changed for the worse.

I was looking at this data earlier today and it was rather frightening. Michigan is one of the states with the highest number of Covid-19 cases per capita. It rose incredibly quickly and is still significantly above other US states. Sadly it's still hard to say exactly how prevalent it is given the general lack of testing.

The thing that's really strange is that I qualify for one of those checks too simply because I'm a US citizen, even though I've lived in New Zealand for over six years. I guess me still having to file US taxes every year has paid off in a sense. Planning to send the money to my parents.

Finance minister expanded upon all of the measures that are in place to soften the economic blow of this. Incredible all around, really. I'm very proud of this government.
