Somehow this post missed the schedule and for a long time I forgot to properly checked for “missed schedule” posts.
Back in 2021, suddenly systems with speedtest-cli threw a [Wayback/Archive] ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ” by tzwickl · Pull Request #768 · sivel/speedtest-cli after accessing the speedtest.net servers.
Around 7-8 April, 2021 the speedtest.net/speedtest-config.php XML configuration suddenly had changed the value for the XPath expression /settings/server-config/@ignoreids from being a list of integers into empty, see the archived files below.

I plausible reason could be that as of that moment, speedtest.net has moved servers to be ignored out of www.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers.php, maybe to protect the servers to be ignored from being accessed at all.
The fix was at [Wayback/Archive] Handle case where ignoreids is empty or contains empty ids · sivel/speedtest-cli@cadc68b and included in speedtest-cli 2.1.3.
I had to manually apply it so some systems, because during cancer treatment their update mechanism. This was easy given the small diff.
