Post History

I would recommend to post it anew here as a self-answered Q&A and update it if needed. You can use the "works for me" reaction to label your own answer the "official" one.

As an example of how this can be done, I once wrote [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/46563868/584518) on SO. It needed some tweaks and updates, more sources added etc. At the same time, a lot of the other answers there were harmful noise, with the top-voted and accepted one making harmful recommendations to use a dangerous function.

So I wrote a self-answered Q&A [Which functions in the C standard library must always be avoided?](https://software.codidact.com/posts/286187) on Codidact and updated it a bit while at it. 

Important: remember to always link to the original post so that it becomes clear that you are the author and not someone merely plagiarizing or "scraping". Similarly you could link from the SO post to the new Codidact post, saying "this post on SO is no longer maintained" etc.

Since I'm still active at SO, whenever this FAQ pops up I'll link to the Codidact post instead of the SO one, because it is more accurate and up to date.
