Description
Right now there's a script that runs once a week called muffet.sh. It's a light wrapper to muffet. Very often links will fail to be retrieved (see screenshot below) only for manual testing to yield that the links are indeed fine, they were just temporarily broken.
this ticket tracks the effort to remediate the false positives:
- let's move the run time to be on a weekday during "normal" hours - not sure how cron works and this is the global internet, hence the inverted comas around "normal"
- if that doesn't work, let's try caching failed URLs and retry them at again right away, in 5 min and then in 30 min (or something)
