Bah! For the last couple of days my personal blog has been getting absolutely hammered by someone having deep-linked to an image (a gif) from https://rssing.com
I made the file 403, but it it's still hammering the site constantly for 3 days.
My server serves about 1Mb/s normally, with this it's nearer 55Mb/s.

@popey I think you should just contact them https://www.rssing.com/about.php

@Hipska will do!

@popey Lack of GIF replies on Mastodon web hampers adequate reply. Sincerely, Joey.

@omgubuntu yeah. I tend to go and find gifs and just copy paste them in: it’s a bit manky but works.

@popey Cloudflare caching might be of use if the monthly transfer limits are a problem

@bigcalm thankfully I’m nowhere near my limits, just annoyed as it’s screwing with my stats :)

    @tky I did initially then decided it was possibly inappropriate so undid that, as nobody seemed to notice and the traffic was still stupidly high. https://github.com/popey/popey.com-blog/commit/8d9c3742d19756ebe0903f17c6112b2d69a8b14f
