I'd prefer to not remove the link to the press release. Instead, refer to: <https://web.archive.org/web/20150115001300/https://www.digitalocean.com/company/blog/presenting-freebsd-how-we-made-it-happen/> (In reply to Graham Perrin from comment #1) In case someone goes through this press release and tries to signup for a FreeBSD droplet at Digital Ocean they will be disappointed. This is my point behind removing this. But I am open to comments. Under Support ▶ Vendors, for <https://www.freebsd.org/commercial/isp/> and nearby pages: * agreed, it's sensible to prune things – for what's there to be as close as possible to the _current_ truth. ---- Pages such as <https://www.freebsd.org/press/> and <https://www.freebsd.org/press/pressreleases/> are quite different; naturally _historical_. What's there overlaps, to a degree, with what's represented by The FreeBSD Foundation; these collections form part of the history of how FreeBSD was seen in the press, over many years. It'll be good to correct broken links (with reference to the Wayback Machine, if necessary), however IMHO pruning should be minimal. A commit in branch main references this bug: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/doc/commit/?id=91bcabf5e2a2409a084a469787bc112585276444 commit 91bcabf5e2a2409a084a469787bc112585276444 Author: Muhammad Moinur Rahman <bofh@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2022-10-09 14:59:20 +0000 Commit: Muhammad Moinur Rahman <bofh@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2022-10-09 14:59:20 +0000 Fix URLs related to DigitalOcean After DigitalOcean has discontinued FreeBSD as part of their supported OS they have also removed some of the blog posts that refered to FreeBSD. The linkw has been archived by the wayback machine. This patch fixes those URL to point to the webarchive URL. In addition to that one of the URL just above the links had a wrong SiteURL pointing to digitalocean which was maybe due to someone copying the previous definition. Fixed the SiteURL to point to https://www.itwire.com Part of the PR where digitalocean has to be removed from our supported vendor has already been fixed.
