Ask HN: What Happened to Pinboard (April '22 edition)?

#1

Post by ihodes »

There have been threads like this before (last one in 1.5 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30628375), but I'm not really sure what to do. I've emailed Maciej on 4/13/21, 12/11/21, and 4 times in the past month (a more urgent issue) with no response.

Full-text search is regularly broken, archiving doesn't work sometimes, and most recently my >5yr archiving account was disabled on 4/1 with no warning or ability to re-up, so as far as I know I've lost archived bookmarks from up to a decade ago (don't remember when I turned on the service). It doesn't look like

When I tried to re-up my archiving account, I selected 10 years, but was charged for 1 year (without the 10 yr discount, of course) instead.

I really have enjoyed using Pinboard, and have been since at least 2011 (when the entry was created in 1pw), but this is a bummer and I'm not sure what to do. I really respect Maciej and wish him the best, and would love to keep using Pinboard.

Edit: Maciej, I hear you're in Taiwan. I'd love to give you some recommendations off the beaten path!

I saw his tweets fall off. I hope he is alright.

He’s in the middle of a year-long Twitter break:

That the blog link serves an Apache default page right now seems concerning. I hope he's really okay, and just too busy and interested with a good life to be worrying about the little stuff.

It works fine on https://, so it looks like he just didn't configure Apache correctly. Strange either way.
