So the leap second was added with very few issues on the net/www (compared to last time).

- twitter minor date display
- android similar
- Brazil bgp spike

Are you aware of or had to deal with any issues in NZ?

My Vodafone mobile data seems a bit cranky since then.

All the NTP servers we deal with handled it as expected, flags set at 18.00 UTC and transition at 23:59:59

Haven't heard of any issues from anyone else using them.

I should not say that. Apologies to Vodafone & Johnr. Some pages seem to hang for a while on loading. More likely a particular site, server or route is slow. No more info sorry.

I was drinking my coffee and then blinked and the cup was back on my desk. Really weird. All our servers have seemed fine though. Windows shop here, so from what I have read, as long as NTP is all functional, it should just keep on trucking.

Try Vultr using this link and get us both some credit:

Off topic but I de-crankyfied by switching off Chrome mobile 'data saver' feature. It was contributing to problems with geekzone and perhaps other sites here and there.

Isn't that just a glitch in the Matrix?

This. It's one of the tests you can perform. The other is asking Siri to divide zero by zero. If she mentions cookie monsters, there is no spoon.
