Cool, link check is working after #979. Thanks @casperdcl !

[jorgeorpinel]

As noted in #974 (comment), the link check is currently crashing, preventing the CI checks here from completing ATM. Otherwise this is ready for review.

[casperdcl]

ok finally got around to reviewing this. Will try to re-fix in a new PR. Not sure why you re-ordered links in exclude-links.txt - probably best to keep sorted.

[jorgeorpinel]

I think I just sorted them alphabetically by domain name. If you leave a PR review here I'll address in a separate one.

[casperdcl]

hmm you mean you strip http(s):// before sorting? Seems unnecessarily inconvenient. Will be fixed in #997 anyway...

[jorgeorpinel]

And www or other subdomains. But no, whatever is easy, as long as we all know what the sorting is. Piping through GNU sort is fine. Thanks

[jorgeorpinel]

p.s. I don't assume the file supports comments (and blank lines)? I.e.

# This is a list of URLs to exclude from scripts/...
# It's ordered with GNU `sort`.

I was nearly going to write comments. They should be fine to add (though strictly speaking aren't ignored yet)
