Heh, a combination of the post going viral, me using the free tier on Vercel, and some sub-optimal images I have used, caused me to use up all the free bandwidth. Vercel reached out though and promptly unlocked the web, which is very cool of them.

Guess it’s now time for me to learn my lesson and optimize the images
