Unfortunately, that open-source driver has disappeared following legal threats by Synaptics… ⌘ Read more

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com Not much honestly 😅 During the storms Picket sat at ~0.2 of a CPU core (peaks ~0.4), up from ~0.02 at idle, so ~10× but still tiny. Memory didn’t budge: ~650 MiB working set before, during and after. Picket’s doing its job; it’s the git forge behind it that would’ve fallen over.

@prologic@twtxt.net Just curious, what kind of CPU / memory usage does Picket show while dealing with one of these storms?
I wouldn’t blame anyone for abandoning public git repos in 2026… The scrapers just don’t seem to care about the harm they do (or the sites they crash). I guess it’s an “external” cost, and doesn’t cost them anything, so… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
