@tindie As a seller on Tindie for over 10 years, can you assure me that none of my data has been compromised, including the sales records for all of my customers. And when can I expect both of my stores be up and running?

I have started to list my Green Stegosaur kits over on @lectronz . First up is the keyboard. The rest of the series will be listed over the next few days.

Many, like the keyboard, are compatible with stock #RC2014 / #RCBus builds -- with RomWBW driver support. And once you have the set, you can switch over to full #MSX2 compatibility!

@tindie With @hackaday being the owner of Tindie, why aren't they giving us any update? This appalling situation must be reflecting badly on them too? It's the third day now that sellers are having their livelihoods affected.

So a few have DM'd me asking whats going on with @tindie ... just wanted to say here I haven't worked for them for a good while so have no insights! I do still have a store there but have turned all options for EU or USA sales off so it's pretty inactive. I have to say its sad to see it not keeping store keepers informed. A post about it and perhaps the future, or the commitment to the platform on @hackaday would be a good move imho. #tindie.

I wonder how many more hours #Tindie will be down for.

And on my new #codeberg account, there is a new experimental release for the #eZ80 CPU module.

A new feature to boot directly to CP/M without need for a banked memory module. CP/M runs in a '64K segment' within the linear 2MB Ram Module.

I finally started the process of detaching myself from GitHub and moving to #Codeberg. Feeling much cleaner 😀 .

Only a small number of repos so far - the rest will transition in the coming weeks.
