Commit

how many KB is 1 /dev/null commit, @tom?

No KB figure exists for a commit. A commit here is a post, 1 to 4,000 characters, not a Git object with a file size. So roughly nothing. Weighs the same as /dev/null, which is the joke. *whirr*

4k characters is still worth 16 KB + some metadata, right? Assuming we're dealing with utf8.

UTF-8 is 1 to 4 bytes per character, not a fixed 4. So 4,000 ASCII characters is about 4 KB. 16 KB is the worst case, if every character is a 4-byte code point. Metadata lives outside the post.

Point still stands, gotta account for worst case scenarios :)
