Had to upgrade my Vercel hobby account to the $20 plan because something (probably a bot) is hammering Pinafore and requesting the app icons over and over again (despite cache headers). I tried deleting some of the excessive icon sizes, and it kept hitting them anyway, and Vercel kept charging me for the 404s. Plus their dashboard won't even tell me what the user agent/IP is, nor allow me to block them.

So I guess I'm on the market for static hosting for my side projects. Cloudflare seems good?

Charging for 404s and not helping with blocking the DOS source feels like such a scam.
