    I originally planned to do something based on the Referer header, but the browser doesn’t send those for linked images.

    In theory you can do a lot with this. Detect VPNs based on MTU, for example, or if you’re malicious, turn it into a tracker.

      I’m plannig to make one of these “dox’d memes” where someone says something controversial and another one answers with the ip address.

        Ah, I see! I was also thinking of maybe using something like Google Earth to make a GIF that zooms into your local area but that was waaaaaaay to computationally expensive to render on the server.
