When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

Anonymous Overflow should use itself when Stackexchange et al links appear within a SE page (dog food problem, of sorts) (sopuli.xyz)

I’m very grateful that #AnonymousOverflow exists and was already in place to give us refuge when #Stackexchange et al returned to #Cloudflare’s jail. I use this search service because it automatically integrates (SE→AO) replacement:

https://search.fabiomanganiello.com/search

A search led to this thread:

https://overflow.manganiello.tech/exchange/tex/questions/225027/how-to-create-new-font-which-is-thicker-version-of-computer-modern

The three links in the itemized links all point to Stackexchange, which puts the exclusion problem back in our face -- for those who are blocked from Cloudflare. Anonymous Overflow (AO) should eat its own #dogFood. Like the fabiomanganiello search service, AO should replace SE links with AO links within SE pages.

Yes, it may be a bit tricky because AO has a number of instances which go up and down. The onion ones are quite flaky. In principle, SE links should be replaced with the same instance the article is viewed on.

This #bug is posted here because the bug tracker is exclusively on MS #Github:
