Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When I had a refurbished Dell laptop under warranty a few years ago, they were very prompt with sending someone to my house to fix my computer when it died. Just for another data point.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've had a Dell for a few years, and I've had to call tech support a few times and they've always been pretty helpful.

Your tag here.

ita, this will do what you want wrt fuckers.com:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.*.)?fuckers.com/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.*.)?asswipes.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\\.(jpg|jpeg|gif)$ [link] [R,NC,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*.)?buffistas.org/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*.)?worldcrossing.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*.)?provocateuse.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\\.(jpg|jpeg|gif)$ [link] [R,NC,L]

The main point being the L flag in the RewriteRule which tells it this is the Last command and stop processing this chain. Oh, and the order of the commands is important, otherwise fuckers.com will match the second chain. For extra credit, I wrote the rule so that you can add more domains to the list using the OR flag (see asswipes.com above).

You might just want to consider forbidding the hotlinking altogether thusly:

RewriteRule .*\\.(jpg|jpeg|gif)$ - [F,NC,L]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, Eddie! So far, that doesn't break my site.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A medium-sized 'no hotlinking' graphic.

eta: Firefox is shrinking it down for me.

edit to correct browser.

That's not right.

How about: [link]

Still same.

About the same.

Weird - even though there appears to be lots of unused screen space, Firefox insists on shrinking it. Is there a bunch of white-space to the right of the graphic?
