Yeah, me reading rexep... But it modifies all the URLs, even outside hrefs
and in plain text. I don't know if that is bad.

I may look into proxying in go sometimes.

No worry. I can press 'd' anytime, and this text may well go into the config gist.

I have two proto-projects: One would be to externally onionify our
publicly-visible bugtracker, and the other is a bunch of raspberries
where some pages point to each other. Making that so that onions
reliably refer to the onions is...interesting.

Anyway, thanks for the responses. I way afraid that I was simply
