↳ In-reply-to » This 👇 is fucking insane 😱 Media -- Even though Picket is blocking this stupid fucking traffic from yet-another-botnet, I have to wonder, surely there's a better way to handle this? LIke seriously wut da actual fuq?!

@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)_/¯
