Watches the channel for long links. Any URL of 40 characters or more is shortened through url.thern.io and echoed back together with the page's HTML title, so nobody has to click a mystery link.

Shortening goes through https://url.thern.io/api/shorten; titles are fetched with a 8 s timeout, max 3 redirects.
