A very long time ago I used to do this. Then one day a photo I had uploaded went a little viral and everything ground to a halt. Quite disappointing.

One day, a photo hosted on my server on my little brother's domain went viral, loads of US College jocks embedding it in their forum posts etc. I wasn't particularly bothered by the volume of traffic, but for the lols I put a redirect in the .htaccess so the image (a statue representing a college sports' emblem) would be served as it originally was on my brother's site, but if the referrer was any other domain they would get a tasteful piece of gay porn instead.

OK. Riddle me this.
I have a permanent Plex server but I'd like to use it to provide Hot Links to forums. Instead of using web photo hosting for photo links, I'd like to use the server.
All Goggles just point me back to web-based hotlinking.
So the idea is to use the server and allow it to do the same as web versions (Flickr, Google Photos, Imgur) but the images are local.
