+### Decode datastore content
+
+To display the array representing the data saved in `data/datastore.php`, use the following snippet:
+
+```php
+$data = "tZNdb9MwFIb... <Commented content inside datastore.php>";
+$out = unserialize(gzinflate(base64_decode($data)));
+echo "<pre>"; // Pretty printing is love, pretty printing is life
+print_r($out);
+echo "</pre>";
+exit;
+```
+This will output the internal representation of the datastore, "unobfuscated" (if this can really be considered obfuscation).
+
+Alternatively, you can transform to JSON format (and pretty-print if you have `jq` installed):
+```
+php -r 'print(json_encode(unserialize(gzinflate(base64_decode(preg_replace("!.*/\* (.+) \*/.*!", "$1", file_get_contents("data/datastore.php")))))));' | jq .
+```

+### Changing the timestamp for a shaare
+
+- Look for `<input type="hidden" name="lf_linkdate" value="{$link.linkdate}">` in `tpl/editlink.tpl` (line 14)
+- Replace `type="hidden"` with `type="text"` from this line
+- A new date/time field becomes available in the edit/new link dialog.
+- You can set the timestamp manually by entering it in the format `YYYMMDD_HHMMS`.
