I am not sure why people link to twitch instead of the source. https://reddark.untone.uk

For me, that source redirects to that twitch stream.
It's the same people running it. It's just that the original site for overloaded. So they swapped to twitch to live stream the data

They're actually not redirecting now as traffic has subsided. But as I remember, they added a 301 permanent redirect instead of 302 and I immediately thought that's a bad idea. Probably that's why you're still getting redirected to the stream.

Ah gotcha. Might have to clear some DNS caches

[-] iamroot@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Redirects are usually cached on the browser, so you can just clear the site's cache.

Oh crap, of course. I'm being an idiot! It's a status code

Maybe same reason why I link people to Reddit posts instead of the article.
