I assumed this was a programming issue (perhaps unregulated retries) rather than the app legitimately trying to locate me 10,000 times per day.
1. Open VLC, and open the stream as usual
2. Let the stream load - it'll load in lower quality first
3. Before it automatically transitions to the higher quality stream, go to Video --> Video Track --> Disable. The video will now be disabled.
4. Wait for a bit. Go to Video --> Video Track --> Track 1. The video will now be streamed in its highest quality mode without crashing.
This worked for me, hope it works for others!

It's great that Linode is passing these improvements to their customers free of charge. A while back they increased RAM allocated to all users without increasing prices, which was a great surprise. Things like this make me happy to host my multiple projects with them.
