Speakers' avatar images broken for 2022, 2023, and 2024 #988

Speakers' avatar images appear to be broken on the sites of 2022, 2023, and 2024. For speakers who had a profile picture, the image links are not resolving correctly. Examples:
- https://ep2024.europython.eu/speaker/sebastiaan-zeeff/
- https://ep2023.europython.eu/speaker/sebastiaan-zeeff/
- https://ep2022.europython.eu/speaker/sebastiaan-zeeff/
I’m not sure if the issue started after the vercel migration or if it was present earlier. (The images were definitely working during each year's conference days). However, I noticed a consistent typo in the avatar URLs: "porgramme" instead of "programme" across all three years.
For 2024, correcting the typo allows the URL to resolve:
✅ Fixed URL (2024):
https://programme.europython.eu/media/avatars/UPWXFZ_8SUI4OW.jpg
❌ Original broken URL (2024):
https://porgramme.europython.eu/media/avatars/UPWXFZ_8SUI4OW.jpg
However, fixing the typo does not work for 2023 and 2022:
❌ Broken URLs (2023 & 2022):
- https://porgramme.europython.eu/media/avatars/photo_square_cropped_1000_1000_fRtHpCV.jpg
- https://porgramme.europython.eu/media/avatars/photo_cropped_mqQp3VS.jpg
If fixing the links for previous years is too involved, it might be better to remove the avatar field altogether to avoid broken images on the site.

This happened because we tried to do a DNS redirection
program.europython.eu->programme.europython.eu. But we did a little typo. I'm not sure if I have access to change DNS records right now, but I can try in the evening. cc @artczartcz commentedon Feb 3, 2025
So... I looked into it, and it does seem to be more complicated, and with possibly multiple changes required :'D
But looks like the domain is only one of the pieces, the other might be me removing custom domains from the configuration of old events. Let's get back to this when we're doing static builds and moving off-of-vercel on older pages, because I have a feeling that it might be good to change how we build those speaker URLs.

@hypha Is this still the case? except the 2022 website, it is still not published.

@egeakman! It looks all good now! I imagine it will work the same way on 2022's once it's published, so closing this with thanks and hugs!

It still doesn't work for the 2022 site. Changing the URL from
programtoprogramme, or topretalx.comdoesn't resolve the issue either. Re-running the 2022 programapi (https://programapi.europython.eu/speakers.json) would most likely solve it.nikoshell commentedon May 17, 2025
@egeakman any update?
egeakman commentedon May 17, 2025
We need to rebuild the 2022 speaker data at programapi.europython.eu which has a different schema than the program api we use today. This is in our bare metal server. I'll try to do that after PyCon US.

This will be delayed at best, and not be fixed at worst, since Pretalx's API has breaking changes. Trying to patch the current Program API is painful as is; I don't want to make changes to the legacy Program API.

Idea: scrape them from the Internet Archive.
