Thanks, I forgot about stackoverflow. Added in the attached patch. We now replace the following four services, is that right? - reddit - github - youtube - stackoverflow Worg also links to various tweets (org-quotes.org), but always includes the full tweet text so I'm not sure if a redirect would add too much here. Note three things about the SO redirection to AnonymousOverflow: 1. The current top listed instance is down, I created an issue at https://github.com/httpjamesm/AnonymousOverflow/issues/185 to keep the instance list up-to-date. 2. The script only converts stackoverflow.com/questions/question_id links. Worg links to stackoverflow with the following pages: stackoverflow.com/questions/question_id/...; stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/org-mode; stackoverflow.com/tags/org-mode/info; stackoverflow.com/help/; stackoverflow.com/users/...; and of these, only the "basic question" type is supported by AnonymousOverflow. 3. The script ignores *.stackexchange.com. Adding this is not too much effort, but these links do not exist in Worg so I've ignored it (for now?). > Also, looks like gothub instances are not up-to-date. > Reported https://codeberg.org/LibRedirect/instances/issues/40, but we > may need some way to check that things are working, so that we have > heads up and report to libredirect as needed.

I believe that LibRedirect considers it not their responsibility to check whether instances are working, see https://github.com/libredirect/instances/issues/56 and https://libredirect.github.io/faq.html#where_the_hell_are_those_instances_coming_from. Nonetheless, creating an issue is a good idea, because the gothub list of instances at https://codeberg.org/gothub/gothub-instances/src/branch/master/instances.json differs in content, so the LibRedirect script does seems to fail. > This is a fine approach. > Another way is sending patch + a diff. > Or just a diff followed by full patch after discussion finishes. > Or creating a branch on public repo or in worg itself and working from there. OK, I've attached a patch that includes only my change, is that sufficient? Best, Rens
