Hey, Fedi admins, go right now and check to make sure that you have caps/limits set on your Object Storage provider so they just stop serving you images instead of charging you $3,000 because some random person in Europe decided to scrape your instance.

This is a really tragic tale (I hope they can get the charge reversed) but right at this moment I want to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Cloud IslandAurynn Shaw (@aurynn@cloudisland.nz)Attached: 1 image 31.37TB. This is the story of someone in Europe writing a scraper I didn't notice and costing me 15x my normal bandwidth bill. Unless Fastly can help me, this is going to cost in the region of US$3000. I can't believe this still needs to be said, but don't scrape fedi.

@mastohost is this something you do, or does every instance admin have to do it themselves?

@forteller on Masto.host nobody pays for bandwidth, so it's not something that instance admins hosted on Masto.host need to do.
