One oddity, in a good way, was automated additions to Pinboard that were made when Pinboard was not available still made it into Pinboard. When I re-ran by day's aggregation from the prior day's activities Pinboard fully populated (rather than just one bookmark) from my DevonThink RSS archive.

#pinboard #devonthink

#Pinboard's back for me! (If it's not back for you yet, and you know what `/etc/hosts` is, hardcode `pinboard.in` to `64.62.134.190`)

Done the exports and will look into Linkding now. Fool me once, etc.

It's been a decent 16 year run with Pinboard. I definitely got my money's worth for the initial sign up fee, and probably got it when I was paying for archiving between around 2012 and 2021 (I stopped because it wasn't working half the time).

But it's also a good illustration of bit rot and software rot in web services -- web services need at least _some_ maintenance to keep them running. On scale of a decade it's often a migration to a new language version or framework. And that's often a different skillset (and motivation-set) than building the service initially.

@michaelharley yeah. X is the final straw for me, too, I think.

We all have to put in the effort to use our feet and walk to a better future, or humanity doesn't move.

X is for people who are fine with eating where each other shit.

I have a lifetime membership to #pinboard, so I don't have to stop paying but I'm going to stop using it.

Anybody care to invite me to your social bookmarking instance?

@michaelharley Looks like the #pinboard domain renewal is taking its time to propagate https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48540592

That said, going self-hosted is not a bad option. Haven't used it myself but I've heard good things about #linkding - https://linkding.link/
