@Edent I did a similar exercise a couple years ago: https://www.esgeroth.org/log/entry/1893
I haven't tended to my digital garden by fixing any of those links yet. Your post is inspiring me to do so. I have two questions, if you don't mind: what is your reasoning for removing the link entirely if you can't find a good replacement? Do you leave any sort of hint that it once was a link?
