One thing has been bothering me and I'd like to change is the site url slug, it uses five words of the title plus some random anti-duplicate suffix, but I'd like to change it to just the random id so it's shorter
The long slug tells you what the link is about, the short slug doesn't but it's more portable
Archive.org uses short ids and people don't complain, should I change it to short id instead of long slug?

I changed it to 6 lowercase random chars, good enough for 300 million pages
Even if the slug is not very informative, there is no way to rickroll like in other link shorteners
Briff site, briff link
