[KevinMarks] I just found out that AppEngine no longer has billing quotas, and Google billed me $900 for http://svgshare.com last month and was projecting $1500 for this month, so that's gone now.
#
[KevinMarks] You used to be able to set a daily limit, after which it would 404 for a bit.

#
[snarfed] ugh sorry [KevinMarks], yeah they moved those a while back
#
[mattl] Woah that’s a lot. What was svgshare?
#
[KevinMarks] It was a site I set up to allow people to upload SVGs and provide a PNG preview for twitter/fb etc as a way to encourage SVG use
#
troojg sorry that happened :(
#
[KevinMarks] 10 years is a decent run
#
[KevinMarks] I assume someone was using it to hotlink hosting their site images
#
[KevinMarks] maybe I can do a static version and bung it on github, but I'm not feeling it at the moment

#
[mattl] I’ve found http://bunny.net very good if you’re looking for cheap static.

#
[tantek] [KevinMarks] can you make svgshare return a gofundme QR code for all images to pay for that $900?
#
[tantek] That ought to either get you some moneys or reduce the bandwidth usage, or both 😅

#
[KevinMarks] I can't easily redeploy it as it's legacy appengine and python versions, so I may just let it die. I could statically serve something I suppose. Also the hash based stuff I had there as a demo could be used as a kind of proxy, and that might have been abused too.

#
[snarfed] [KevinMarks] they backtracked and added some ongoing support for the legacy services, https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/legacy/standard/python/bundled-services-overview , may let you redeploy
#
[snarfed] (probably doesn't change the logic though, I get it)
#
[KevinMarks] my initial motivation of 'lets help people share SVGs on twitter and facebook' is kinda burnt out now. I will have a look at making a static site for the domain and maybe think about staticising the appengine one after that, but stopping the huge wallet drain is priority 1
