Got a warning for my blog going over 100GB in bandwidth this month… which sounded incredibly unusual. My blog is text and a couple images and I haven’t posted anything to it in ages… like how would that even be possible?

Turns out it’s possible when you have crawlers going apeshit on your server. Am I even reading this right? 12,181 with 181 zeros at the end for ‘Unknown robot’? This is actually bonkers.

        It is common custom to indicate quotes, with either “quotes” or for a longer quote a

        block quote

        The latter can be done by prefixing the line with a > here on lemmy (uses the common markdown syntax).

        Doing either of this help avoid ambiguity.

          Thanks the taking the time. I always find it hard to follow up and point out the ambiguity / alternative without coming across in some unwelcome way

          You replied to the wrong person. I already know this, but clearly the person who posted the quote doesn’t ;)
