New Zealand's election was last night. The results were unprecedented. Labour has enough seats to form a government alone (a first for our MMP system), the populist NZ First party has been booted out, and the centre-left to left parties comprise over 60% of the seats. Chlöe Swarbrick - a 26-year-old Green MP famous for saying "ok boomer" in parliament - also won Auckland Central. Unexpected, but incredibly exciting. This is the most excited I've ever been for an election in my life.

Could you please send me a private message with more information? Might need to further tighten the controls on bot prevention.

Hey, wanted to let you know that I'm still looking into this issue, but I'm not quite certain what it is. It's especially strange that it's happening on multiple devices. Does the issue occur over e.g. 4G as well, or were those file uploads both from your home network? It's also a really generic ask, but have you cleared your cache and cookies for the site as well?

This is happening on both the phone and on your computer? Could you check if this happens in multiple browsers, or on other networks (e.g. mobile network) if connecting from your phone? Cloudflare should only be issuing a challenge if you're deemed to be one of the "most threatening visitors", which is highly unusual for legitimate general use.

I've done some updates on the server to help further improve performance and consistency.

Could you please screenshot the error and post it in the site feedback thread (assuming it lets you)? Otherwise, any further details will be helpful. I'll investigate what might be going on.

Alright, I'll look into it. Cheers.

Four years ago to the date:

Called my parents to break the news. Everyone here in NZ is going nuts talking about it. Just...wow. Not entirely unexpected, but this timing is something else. Stock market futures plunging rapidly. Heck of a start to the month!

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/02/hope-hicks-coronavirus.html This is possibly the highest chance of Trump getting infected that we've yet seen. Curious what more may potentially come of this in the next few days.

We just had our second leaders debate here in NZ and it was such a refreshing experience after the absolute mess between Trump and Biden. There was some common ground in the quickfire questions at the end, which was really surprising and lovely. Our election is in just a couple of weeks and the polls are looking solid. We may have our most progressive government in decades with New Zealand First out of the picture.

I don't day drink, but I made an exception for this debate.

I'll take a look this evening to see if anything unusual may be happening. I haven't seen any strange behaviour on my end, but if it's related to something like routing it could be trickier to diagnose. Has anyone else experienced sluggish performance at all?
