Hello Alex, there is a very practical way to decode a url before clicking it, see its long form and even scan it via virustotal. This program is called "urlchecker" You can try this great open source application from github.com/TrianguloY/URLChe… and be protected from malicious links.

Playstore: play.google.com/store/apps/d…
3. The link
X automatically shortens links in DMs to a t.co link, which hides the true URL.
What's more, the styling of the URL card looks like it will take you to a Google Calendar scheduling page.
Here's what happened when I clicked through...
5. Think Before You Click
Avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails, texts, or DMs. Always double-check the source before engaging.
🔥 Tip: I use URLChecker in mobile to unshorten links and check status before launching them in browser. You can do something similar!
@CardanoCube - thinking about advice in this video, given a lot of the scams focus on using urls that are sort of like the real project url, maybe a “/urlchecker” page could help the community? Copy in the url and check if it is linked to a registered project???
nambahin dong, buat yang agak advance ngecek link bisa download ini => https://f-droid"org/en/packages/com"trianguloy"urlchecker/
" diganti .
bisa buat cek kemana url itu dituju, bisa buat ilangin parameter tracking, bisa buat pilih mau buka di browser atau di apps juga.
Woohoo! We just released v0.0.31 of urlchecker Python and action! We now use a web driver as a fallback for failing URLs, and the performance is much improved for those tricky URLs. Check it out 👉 github.com/urlstechie/urlche…. Big thank you to @rootwork & @SuperKogito for the fun! 🎉
Speeding things up is pretty satisfying! I remember back in 2017 when I added parallel layer downloads to @Singularity_CE / @SingularityApp and sped it up by about 7 times. Today I tried out similar for the #urlchecker we use for @us_rse and another satisfying 6 times faster! 😍
This has really improved quality of life -- exposing this checking / fixing functionality was such a great idea!
My URLs and I thank you @jimhester_ 🙏 #rstats
urlchecker::url_check()
The {urlchecker} package by @jimhester_ is great to check and fix broken links in #rstats packages.
Is there anything similar for #rmarkdown documents, such as {bookdown} sites?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
#rstats package developers: this can save precious time:
urlchecker::url_update()
Problem solved in 10s not 10minutes 🎉
Thanks to the developers of {urlchecker} 🙏

If URL redirects are making your CRAN submissions painful, I highly recommend @jimhester_'s urlchecker package — github.com/r-lib/urlchecker. It automatically detects and updates redirected urls saving you much time and frustration #rstats

github.com/r-lib/urlchecker is very helpful here -- it will automatically "fix" (make CRAN compliant) URLs in a package. Just run urlchecker::url_update().
