No, you can't get authentic link of mirror from a hijacked non-https website.

Indeed. This unnecessarily makes the website and even the OS itself less reliable.

Is there any reason tinycorelinux.net still isn't https, given that forum.tinycorelinux.net is https?

There's a mirrors page on the Wiki, which uses HTTPS. But as it's a user-contributed wiki, there's no guarantee that the links are "authentic" anyway (same with the user-contributed extensions themselves).

I wish the forums and wiki still allowed plain HTTP connections too (as well as HTTPS).
