He’s in the middle of a year-long Twitter break:

> Alright, I'm going to take a year off the twitters and see what else I can do with the time. Follow @idlewords for blog post notifications, http://blog.pinboard.in for actual Pinboard stuff. Great Slate 2022: under no circumstances give any politicians money. See you all in 2023!

That the blog link serves an Apache default page right now seems concerning. I hope he's really okay, and just too busy and interested with a good life to be worrying about the little stuff.

It works fine on https://, so it looks like he just didn't configure Apache correctly. Strange either way.

Doesn’t inspire confidence in the quality of the service.

Boy will he be surprised when he returns to Twitter to find a smouldering crater presided over by a gold-plated statue of Elon Musk.

Yeah he seems very depressive, going through some personal stuff.

I think his (pinboard) Twitter-bio said something dark like "The light inside is broken, but I still work" at some point.

That final one isn't especially upflifting, but it's from a meme.

Would be an odd reference without context, but I'm not sure. I just hope he is alright.

He's on a bender.
