@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks for sharing that, I always like reading about other peoples’ tooling setups (especially for desktop publishing).

@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)_/¯

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz Very nice! 👍

@shinyoukai@twtxt.net 🤣 I hadn’t heard that before.

Doesn’t Gentoo require the user to build every package they want to use? Because I don’t hate myself enough to try that. 😁
