@b0rk@social.jvns.ca great information, as always! Thank you for creating and sharing! Maybe interesting in that context: some time ago I experimented with what the most minimal .git folder would look like and still be recognized by #git: https://manuel-strehl.de/minimal_git_folder

Minimal contents of a .git folder

What does a minimal usable .git folder look like? Let’s try it out!

@matthiasott@mastodon.social hell yes! This is a terrible problem on my site codepoints.net, even with CloudFlare in front of it. On single code point pages I deep-link to my site search for similar code points. In the last year it became worse and worse that “users” from China with Chrome follow those links and bring the site down due to excessive DB load from the search. I hated having to add rate limiting etc, and I know of at least one legitimate user who was bitten by it. Such a pest on the open web!
