linking to nirvana without redirection & badly written software that everyone uses - another case of - nothing works "ok" - klarer fall von "nichts funktioniert ok"

-> it’s catastrophic, when webpages change their url setup…

https://www.heise.de/netze/Wake-on-WAN–/artikel/89304/0

because it will result in

“nothing works” “ok”

this does not have nothing to do with luck, but with:

1. bad url management:
   • wordpress does an pretty good job there, as whenever the user changes the url (more keywords?) it will also redirect from the older past urls to the new url
     • that is how it is SUPPOSED to be for EVERY website of the (not so) “ethernal” part of the internet called www
2. elastic search seems to be a very very badly written software that does not do any sort of software quality checks?
   • why is everyone using it?
