The URL of a given service is used as the key for generating the icon, but it is first hashed and encoded for basic privacy.

To avoid the need to make external requests for icon assets, you can either use a self-hosted CDN, or store your images within `./public/item-icons` (which can be mounted as a volume if you're using Docker).
