Little tip when linking to source code in your docs, etc.
You can link directly to lines using anchors if the web view of your source control system supports it. e.g., for Codeberg:
https://codeberg.org/small-tech/jsdb/src/branch/main/lib/QuerySanitiser.…

jsdb/lib/QuerySanitiser.js at main
jsdb - A zero-dependency, transparent, in-memory, streaming write-on-update JavaScript database for the Small Web that persists to a JavaScript transaction log.

Me in mailing list:
"Hi, this software linked on your page contains trojans according to some antiviruses"
Someone answer:
"You should download it from here [and proceeds to post a link to the exact same site"
Does people actually read emails in email-lists?
