@jwildeboer I still need to get the motivation to make shd.li a public service .oO( obviously, this should be read as "sh-dee-li, i.e., shadily, and nothing... else... which might sound similar...)

Core idea:
- no direct-redirect, i.e., see URL first, click to actually visit
- No tracking/external cloud resources
- Bring your own domain
- Full data export for selfhosting (of your own domain)

Example: https://shd.li/c8E5roP58

Oh, and... btw; The software:
https://git.as59645.net/AS59645/shrtnr

@jwildeboer Which, of course, does not invalidate your point of 'well, people don't _need_ a shortener on here'; Which is true... but people ...

The (somewhat crappy) tool for that btw comes from the realization that all available stacks for self-hosted shortening are API-driven data-tracking behemoth... because that's what you want when running shortner. -.-'

@tfiebig@wybt.net I wish public URL shorter are like this where they tell you which you heading so I know I ain't going to get prank/shock video on my screen. Really interesting that!

One thing I will suggest is have some sort of meta description and title that also well what website is it heading to when I am seeing the link on Fedi.
