Yeah... Sent him an email now as well.
Somebody in the US that could text or call him? Number here https://twitter.com/Pinboard - maybe he does not even know.
Sigh. It's 2022. I should not have to call the site owner to tell him that his site is down. Based on his own numbers, he's been losing users since 2017. This might go belly-up one day.
It dropped out somewhere around 0200 PST. If you haven't downloaded your bookmarks in a while and this outage has reminded you of that, you can still reach it at 64.62.134.190.
I moved to pinboard because it WAS the alternative :D I use Pocket because it's made by one person who clearly was passionate about it and it has been running without fault for years.
The closest alternative might be Pocket[0], it's a "part of the Mozilla family of products".
Amusing coincidence I think -- that linked article is about switching your home network's DNS resolver to your own (not switching to your own DNS server for your website).
Based on whois info, it looks like he's using the DNSMadeEasy service for Pinboard's DNS.

All good an nice, but the blog is down too =)
For example (on a mac): https://setapp.com/how-to/edit-mac-hosts-file
64.62.134.190 pinboard.in

Did you mean you use Pinboard because it's made by one person? Or is it the same case w/ Pocket? That'd be news to me!

Perhaps he was swayed by Julia Evans's blog post, and this downtime is part of the journey to DNS nirvana.
