     @AbbieNormal Did you try the wget option to make all references relative?

     @clacke

     you mean --convert-links ?

     I think I did, yeah

     The version of the command I found here does work

     I don't understand why but hey

     @AbbieNormal @phel --mirror --convert-links --force-directories --backup-converted --adjust-extension
     
     where --mirror expands to -r -N -l inf --no-remove-listing
     
     which expands to --recursive --timestamping -l inf --no-remove-listing
     
     -l seems undocumented
     
     of these, --convert-links and --adjust-extension affect what's in the files you download, so if -k (convert-links) is something you tried, then probably -E (adjust-extension, renames html files to *.html) is what made your pages work for some reason.

     @phel

     can you figure out what these switches do ?

     I can't

     wget -mkxKE -e robots=off http://www.example.org/

     @AbbieNormal Huh probably it mostly worked - you probably have the links there even if you don't see them. They are empty boxes over the background image...

     And wget doesn't download the background image probably because it doesn't understand the url() CSS function.

     Probably if you download http://learnyouahaskell.com/newsplash.png and put it in the downloaded folder, all should look fine again?

     @AbbieNormal @phel That's --backup-converted which saves the original file as .orig.
     
     If I understand correctly --timestamping (-N) together with -K will check the date on the .orig file rather than on the converted file.

     @clacke @phel

     it's to be said that I made the working try on a different machine, go figure

     I should try on the original machine to be sure

     @clacke @phel

     my hypothesis

     on the work laptop Firefox comes from Snap

     On my personal laptop Firefox comes from Flatpak

     Flatpak apps are weird about accessing the filesystem
