gollark: Well, for me it works fine but keeps trying to load resources from 100.64.0.7 and not kit.osmarks.net, which obviously won't work due to security bees.
gollark: You might need to manually configure it to use "kit.osmarks.net/wiki" as the base URL, or something.
gollark: Oh, your thing keeps trying to use the internal IP.
gollark: Wikit is up.
gollark: I sure am glad I installed bee mirrors™ proactively.
