[AusNOG] census issues tonight

Nobody I have spoken to regarding the census is happy about the changes. A colleague today remarked that he’ll probably fill in most of the fields as “Mind your own business”. I’m not sure whether that’s a good decision though.

I did my best to talk to people, but nobody wanted to listen.

"Won't someone think of the statistics" was the standard cry. "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear". "Given what people share on Facebook..."

I gave up. If people don't want to see the problem, they won't see it until their confected reality is brought crashing down.

Right about now, that sky is looking pretty damned unstable, it'll fall on their heads any minute...

Well the threat of being fined if you don’t do it is causing lots of people who don’t listen very carefully to get obsessed over doing this right now.

Morning radio is going to be so funny. Can’t wait for the interviews with Michael McCormack. There’s a minister who won’t be allowed to quit and won’t be trying for deputy PM for a while longer.

Surely you would just drop the whole /24 internationally  if you did not want international traffic to hit the Census site.

I'm seeing responses from 150.207.169.1-5, but nothing else in that block.

I wonder if their compute stack just noped itself out of existence?

Regards,

They spent $50k on a 3rd party to do load testing, I wonder what the success criteria of that testing looked like?

Their phone number too just rings out with "we're too busy, please call back". Probably due to aforementioned issues.. and then the few million old people who are trying to do it over the phone. Or people who need to call because they were doing it and their session died and their 9 digit code no longer works :/

Yep lots of various errors even earlier this morning – took about 5 minutes of refreshing to actually get into the site. Once in though it worked ok, hate to see how it will handle the load now its peak hour.

Not surprising – but anyone else seeing issues with the Census site tonight ?

Seems Soft layer is serving up parts of this behind the scenes..
Im seeing  504 errors from soft layer for large chunks of IP ranges – but not all.

Anyone else seeing this ?
