Always wondered - what value is this database? short of editing the /etc/hosts or browser plugin to redirect from $nowDeadURL/dh36 to $newURL/dh36.
Do people have urls so valuable locked in a tiny url service that'll be lost forever if the service dies? serious question.
- soult 18y agoImagine you search for a solution to a very annoying bug in your favorite program. Now imagine you find someone posting on a mailing list with a link to the solution/a patch/something that solves your problem. Imaginary problem solved. Now imagine the same, except that the link is a tinyurl link and tinyurl went out of business 2 days ago. You will never be able to solve your problem. If there were some kind of tinyurlarchive.org, you could solve your problem again.
