No worries, Perl (or anything else) feels rusty to me after
only a few days/weeks away :x

Thanks!  Applied and pushed to https://public-inbox.org/ as
commit fbfd63996ddfc9a23b8a1e0f8756e378f2e196ba

I was concerned about exposing the NNTP server hostname for
people running Tor onions, but having "publicinbox.nntpserver"
already-configured on my mirror onions means no changes were
needed on my end.  Other onion operators (if they exist) may
need to take notice.

I haven't deployed to news.public-inbox.org / ou63pmih66umazou.onion, yet;
but both nntp://hjrcffqmbrq6wope.onion/ and nntp://czquwvybam4bgbro.onion/
are running the new code.
