@tindie wow, that's wild. They say trust is earned, the new owners of #Tindie have dug themselves into a hole they'll have a hard time coming back from. How and when will people get their money back (I guess buyers can go to PayPal but that's not going to work for sellers)? Can the new owner please identify themselves or do we need to contact them through the registered agent?

@revk hopefully they don't mean "We got hacked and lost the code. We're rewriting it as fast as we can but it's not going to look the same" 😬 .

@tindie thanks for the #Tindie updates. But in a world where this isn't a hurried rewrite after a disaster, I’d expect comprehensive testing to have been done already. It wouldn't be a vastly 'more complex-than-expected technical migration' if the process had been thoroughly tested 😕.

@tindie@hackaday.social different day, similar unanswered questions. Seller disbursement when? Anonymous #Tindie owners who?

I've had a reply from #Tindie regarding the downtime.

"Thank you for reaching out.
We are currently updating the site and expect to be operational soon.
We will email you as soon as the site it Live."

It doesn't give me much confidence in whatever is really going on. Why was there no notification of this so called "scheduled maintenance" either direct to store owners or via their social media accounts.

@tindie@hackaday.social seems they're EEree LLC (or is it EETree LLC). I do not welcome the new #Tindie AI bro owners.

@tindie I think the biggest question is when will #Tindie be back as it's been a week? Once back I guess my priority will be to enable vacation mode to prevent future orders, sort any unshipped orders, and then disbursement. Hopefully these features will be available?

A couple of nights ago we had this pair happily eating next to each other until a third turned up and received a headbutting 😬 . #Hedgehog

@visrealm@mastodon.social @tindie@hackaday.social my failed #Tindie disbursement has mysteriously disappeared and balance reverted so I guess they're not going to just process it as Tindie of old did when there were issues previously. The wait for the enabled disbursements to be enabled continues...

I know Raspberry Pi prices have been bonkers for a while but I wasn't expecting a Pi 400 (with 4GB RAM) to be cheaper than a 4GB Pi 4 🤯 .

What was so special with the 59.10 ms ping that it needed an extra decimal place?

@gsuberland@chaos.social @tnt@chaos.social I also had similar back in 2024 with a FedEx LCSC delivery. I eventually got a credit note after 2 months of pointing out the fee was listed under "Charges billed to shipper" (when viewed online) and I was the consignee.

@osm_tech sounds familiar, last year I braved turning cloudflares "under attack" mode off for https://dnshistory.org/ and saw an extra 5 million requests/day (500k unique IPs) overloading things. It's still blocking >700k requests/day a month later...

I have no idea why you'd want to do it but whilst fixing a @DNSHistory@mastodon.8086.net stats issue I spotted ~4500 domains have multiple (duplicated) SOA records.

For example https://dig.domains/soa/mrmmobilya.com has 7 SOA records (via Google Public DNS). Quad9 only returns one but Cloudflare, OpenDNS, and a local PowerDNS Recursor also return 7.
