 *.bamsoftware.com is currently marked as "unsafe" by Google's "safe"
 browsing system, which breaks in-browser snowflake proxies. We don't know
 what caused this decision. It's probably a false positive because of
 [https://www.bamsoftware.com/hacks/zipbomb/ an educational article] but it
 may be snowflake itself. We are still waiting to hear back from Google.

 We cannot transition the system to a torproject.org domain because if
 snowflake itself was the issue, we may end up getting torproject.org
 marked as unsafe too. Besides, our sysadmins may not like providing a
 domain for a system they don't control.

 As a temporary solution, we could purchase another domain and transition
 to it. Examples are:
 * snowflake.best
 * snowflake.rocks
 * snowflake.world
 * snowflake.army
