I don't know what I am going to do with snonux.de in the long run. .de SLDs (for Germany) are pretty cheap, so I might just keep it for now. </p> <p>E-Mail me your comments to paul at buetow dot org!</p> @@ -43,7 +43,7 @@ <p class="footer"> Generated with <a href="https://codeberg.org/foozone/gemtexter">Gemtexter</a> | served by <a href="https://www.OpenBSD.org">OpenBSD</a>/<a href="https://man.openbsd.org/httpd.8">httpd(8)</a> | -<a href="https://www2.buetow.org/site-mirrors.html">Site Mirrors</a> +<a href="./site-mirrors.html">Site Mirrors</a> </p> </body> </html> |
