I didn't see any code to deal with timeouts, which could be ambiguous around link health.

A weighted system, where things like timeout, NXDOMAIN, etc, have specific probabilities of a "dead link" seems like the right path to me.

I should do this for my 76,259 bookmarks.

I'd be very pleased with a 70% retention that i could send off to an archival service.

Would you export them and upload that as a pastebin?
