tl;dr : How do you feel about rehosting a web page for a domain that has gone dark?
The issue: You've done some research in the past and found a wonderful page about your topic that helped you. A long time later you have the same issue or want to do a write up about the fix and link to the site. The only problem is, the site is no longer on-line.

Messing with Obsidian CSS snippets. I can't fix embed notes in preview mode and it is super annoying. There's a space between H1 and the text and I can't make it go away. I fixed it in reading mode but not preview.

Obsidian: I asked earlier about files I keep in a folder and want to see if there was a way to see if these were linked in notes. These are other than Markdown like screenshots, images, and other files.

If I find an interesting post on another instance, say via RSS or someone sends me a link, and I then decide I want to interact with the post (e.g., Like, Repost) I'm greeted with "<snipped nice greeting> You are not logged in to this server. Where is your account hosted?" That's the nature of decentralization but it is a rough edge. Are there any browser plugins or other ideas to smooth that edge?
