FWIW I'm still trying to find the the cause of the mult-GB avatars that both @stigatle and @abucci 's pods were both teying yo download. The flaw has since been fixed in the code but I'm still trying to investigate the source 🤞

Anyway, I'm gonna have to go to bed... We'll continue this on the weekend. Still trying to hunt down some kind of suspected mult-GB avatar using @stigatle 's pod's cache:
```
$ (echo "URL Bytes"; sort -n -k 2 -r < avatars.txt | head) | column -t
URL Bytes
https://birkbak.neocities.org/avatar.jpg 667640
https://darch.neocities.org/avatar.png 652960

...
```
But so far nothing much... Still running the search...

If you both don't mind dropping your caches. I would recommend it. Settings -> Poderator Settings -> Refresh cache.

@stigatle You want to run `backup_db.sh` and `dump_cache.sh` They pipe JSON to stdout and prompt for your admin password. Example:
```
URL=<your_pod_url> ADMIN=<your_admin_user> ./tools/dump_cache.sh > cache.json
```

@stigatle The problem is it'll only cause the attack to stop and error out. It won't stop your pod from trying to do this over and over again. That's why I need some help inspecting both your pods for "bad feeds".

@abucci / @stigatle Please `git pull`, rebuild and redeploy.
There is also a shell script in `./tools` called `dump_cache.sh`. Please run this, dump your cache and share it with me. 🙏

@stigatle / @abucci My current working theory is that there is an asshole out there that has a feed that both your pods are fetching with a multi-GB avatar URL advertised in their feed's preamble (metadata). I'd love for you both to review this PR, and once merged, re-roll your pods and dump your respective caches and share with me using https://gist.mills.io/

@abucci So... The only way I see this happening at all is if your pod is fetching feeds which have multi-GB sized avatar(s) in their feed metadata. So the PR I linked earlier will plug that flaw. But now I want to confirm that theory. Can I get you to dump your cache to JSON for me and share it with me?

Roughly what their contents are. I've been reviewing the code paths responsible and have found a flaw that needs to be fixed ASAP.

Hmm remove the cpu limits on this pod, not even sure why I had 'em set tbh, we decided at my day job that setting cpu limits on containers is a bit of a silly idea too. Anyway, pod should be much snappier now 😅
