I edited an answer to [Wayback/Archive] git – View rendered output of a gist? – Stack Overflow¹ and it appears that Stack Overflow / Stack Exchange have introduced a WYSIWYG editor of which the help still points to the old Markdown editor.
[Wayback/Archive] Markdown Editing Help – Stack Overflow
The problem is that the new WYSIWYG editor generates Markdown that in part cannot be properly rendered by the Markdown question / answer viewer (for instance, strikethrough is emitted as by the WYSIWYG editor in Markdown as ˜˜strikethrough˜˜ but the viewer can only render <s>strikethrough</s>.
Since their meta sites are toxic as hell:
is there anyone that knows where to find the source code of the Stack Overflow / Stack Exchange WYSIWYG editor?
Thanks!
From the links below, I doubt the StackExchange pagedown repository is the one as it has been unmaintained since 2012 and the WYSIWYG editor is still in beta: I would have expected bug fixes over time, but there aren’t. Or maybe that all is caused by the toxicity on their platform?
This was my queste for information and some of the links I found:

Lot’s of power supplies on [Wayback/Archive] MikroTik Routers and Wireless – Products, most (except the internal ones) I listed below grouped by output voltage and amperage (and wattage which I rounded down).
I didn’t realise there were so many and that there basically is no consistent naming scheme.

Likely what I want is not possible because of CORS or CSP (both security features, often mixed up in writings), but just in case below are some links I found.
The problem at hand was that I wanted to use the functionality of a site like [Wayback/Archive] Redirect Checker | Check your Statuscode 301 vs 302, but on the client side because sometimes redirects depend on locality (for example, but not limited to, AliExpress sites).
Thinks like these fail with CSP errors like Refused to connect to 'https://t.co/Ui4Wmesq1j' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "connect-src chrome://resources chrome://theme 'self'".:
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onload = function() {
if (this.status < 400 && this.status >= 300) {
console.log('request redirects to ' + this.getResponseHeader("Location"));
} else {
console.log('request does not redirect');
}
}
xhr.open('HEAD', 'https://t.co/Ui4Wmesq1j', true);
xhr.send();
Links – many of them mentioning CORS, but few CSP:

Via the below BSKY post (some call these skeets), I learned about the CSS feature “font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums” which switches on the OpenType tnum feature of fonts that support it.
More and more supports these tabular numerics, which makes all digits equally wide making both numbers in tables and lists as well as quickly changing numbers like sub-second timers a lot easier to read.
Failing example due to WordPress ditching the style

I knew open source meme generators would exist, but I never searched for them before. Here is a small table with generator and repository columns:

To ease my blogging, I wrote two more Bookmarklets that help me navigate to or save from a Wayback machine archived page to Archive Today.
A key thing I learned over the past 2+ decades is that “the cloud” (i.e. cloud computing) is “just someone else’s computer” which tends to be unavailable right when you need it no matter the applicable service-level agreement.
Which means that a long while ago, I switched to archiving external links to both the Wayback machine and Archive Today.
Since the Wayback machine is my primary, it helps to have Bookmarklets to go from such an archived page to the equivalent one on Archive Today, or even save it if it isn’t there.
So I made two more Bookmarklets which I will illustrate using the example.org based links https://example.org and http://example.org:
