Hi!

We're trying to adopt pictshare for our (relatively) small blog: https://github.com/spaceshelter

And I'm a bit concerned about the absence of constraints on the resize filters, especially for the video. Currently it seems fairly easy to DDOS the server by hosting large mp4 and requesting all possible sizes for it.

Am I missing something? Let's brainstorm the best way to address that.
