My main contribution to this would be common sense stuff - my main beef right now is the automation of random .png requests - I think it’s plain lazy tbh.
This is was my very first PB config - begged, borrowed, stolen and looked-up. As you’ll see, it’s very heavy on the juice - I wonder how many other people had similar PB configs and didn’t realise how much of a strain it put on other peoples connections…
