There's a bot in an IRC channel I've been on for over a decade that announces the <title> of any link being mentioned in the chan. It's becoming less and less useful as it's running on someone's vps, and a lot of sites behind cloudflare don't yield anything as they're returning the "checking your browser" page to the bot. Then there are pages that are pure javascript a d don't even deliver a title tag, and others try to show a GDPR banner or paywall and thus yield some generic title and not whatever article the link is supposed to show.
- Scoundreller 5y agoI guess it's time for a user-side script that sends the http request through their daily-driver browser to see what it is, but then they're getting their home computer to visit any and every link... Maybe only when it sees cloudflare DNS...
