 |Clem, why are you linking through streaklinks.com?

I do not want to be unfriendly; (but) i use firefox-bin
(mozilla-compiled) and my only extension is uMatrix that i have
been pointed to, and i can only recommend it highly to anyone
(though the "modern" web mostly requires to turn off tracking
protection and numerous white flags in uMatrix to work), maybe
even to those who simply put their browser into a container.
Anyhow, uMatrix gives you the following, and while i have not
tried to selectively click me through to get to the target,
i could have done so:

  streak.com
  www.streak.com
  cloudflare.com
  cdnjs.cloudflare.com
  d3e54v103j8qbb.cloudfront.net
  facebook.net
  connect.facebook.net
  google.com
  www.google.com
  ajax.googleapis.com
  storage.googleapis.com
  intercom.io
  widget.intercom.io
  licdn.com
  snap.licdn.com
  pdst.fm
  cdn.pdst.fm
  producthunt.com
  api.producthunt.com
  sentry-cdn.com
  js.sentry-cdn.com
  website-files.com
  assets.website-files.com
  assets-global.website-files.com
  google-analytics.com
  www.google-analytics.com
  googletagmanager.com
  www.googletagmanager.com

Randomized links i find just terrible.  IETF started using
randomized archive links, which are mesmerising; most often
mailman archive links give you a bit of orientation by themselves,
isn't that more appealing.
