Was it not acquired by the founder of pinboard.in?

  Whois lists Ceglowski Maciej as the tech contact, and he is the owner of Pinboard. It doesn't explain why he would let it point to a vanilla Apache install and not point it at something useful

    Presumably it is a mistake.

    Maybe it's performance art?

      If so I applaud them, it’s non-obvious and perfect. Taking del.icio.us back to the very beginning
  - aaronbwebber 7y ago
    I would say that leaving it pointing to a vanilla Apache install is pretty on-brand for Maciej. He's currently busy with election-related journalism, but I'm guessing that this thread will eventually get his attention and he will get around to having it redirect to pinboard.in.

      "Election-related journalism" is a polite way to put it. And this has been the situation for what, 5 years? One of these days I need to take a weekend and get myself off that abandonware.

  It is ssl'd for me

I don’t think it should have the www in the url. This url looks different than the submitted one: https://del.icio.us/ https://del.icio.us/

  Interesting. As of 3 hours ago https://del.icio.us/ https://del.icio.us/ simply returned: Internal Server Error

      I actually get this too - clicking the link works, but directly entering `del.icio.us` into my address bar gives an Internal Server Error page

I think this was first of the short URLs that played with words and TLD’s that I remember.

While I'm enjoying everyone falling over themselves in this thread the really amusing part is all the people confused this isn't loading because they use Chrome, which hides the www that shouldn't be there in the URL. Thanks Google for the entertainment!

  Seems like the mobile version of Firefox does the same thing.

I was both a fan of del.icio.us (yahoo times) and later pinboard.in, but I'm more and more loosing faith and trust in the guy who operates it. No mobile apps (all third party, relatively unreliable, to one that I've used disappeared from the store overnight). Sometimes slow or down and no status page. Twitter account is being used for political messages on US politics (no objection against the expression of opinion - but why can't he use a personal twitter account instead of mixing it up with his business?). The Chrome addon broke and didn't get fixed (using an unofficial clone now). At least it's possible to export the bookmarks as html,xml,json - which I do regularly. (Having said that: I have been a paying customer for years).

  I fixed the Chrome plugin some months ago, take another look. Thank you for your grumpy business :-)

  Your experience mirrors my own. While I had hopes that pinboard would stay stable, perhaps even slowly add features over time I’ve seen the opposite. The lack of status page has left me thinking that perhaps I should ping the maintainer to ask if some downtime is planned. Alas their twitter account doesn’t appear to be business related. I’m on the lookout for a replacement but not many competitors can match the open data format.

    Having had the concerns and experienced the issues described, I eventually built a clone of Pinboard and now run it privately. Added Telegram bot and iOS shortcuts for dumping links, adjusted tag system for my needs, and so on. Having control over your bookmark archive feels great, and then you can transform it into some kind of a knowledge management system like Zettelkasten. In any case I don’t see how the author is going to work on Pinboard being busy as he is with other issues.
idlewords 7y ago
I'm patching servers, and the site has such a complex environment that it always takes me a few days to figure out how to run it again. It'll be back. EDIT: it was never gone, you doofuses are clicking on www.del.icio.us or something. Everybody in this thread owes me a beer.
- emayljames 7y ago
  Just curious. Is there a reason to not redirect the www. to the non-www. ?
  - slightwinder 7y ago
    Is it common for sub-domains to have sub-sub-domains?
  - pwinnski 7y ago
    And then should www.www.del.icio.us also redirect? What about www.www.www.del.icio.us? And so on.
  - idlewords 7y ago
    Laziness and the fact that del.icio.us just costs me money, while if I work on Pinboard I can earn money.
