Too much notification

[elesiuta]

Thanks for reporting this, those BPF callbacks not processing fast enough should not be happening, I just released an update that should fix this by increasing the size of the perf ring buffer.

If not I also made it configurable in ~/.config/picosnitch/config.json, try changing it from 64 to 128 or 256 and let me know if that works.

Repetitive notifications should also be improved now, and you shouldn't receive the exact same message multiple times in a row.

Unfortunately there isn't much I can do about things like firefox without also affecting notifications for other programs, since the multiple DNS resolvers that use the firefox executable appear no differently than a number of distinct programs that use the python executable.

If you want to disable notifications, you can set "Desktop notifications" to false in ~/.config/picosnitch/config.json.

I did a quick check to see what's needed to appear in gnome settings and it looks like it might need to use libnotify and gobject instead of dbus, I might give this a try at some point.

Hello, I'm sorry I can't confirm if the bug is fixed anymore since I have no way of reproducing it.

While I haven't update picosnitch, I tried to run the 'program that cause massive notification issue' again but looks like it does not happen anymore. It only happened when my internet had some strange issue.

Now I already updated picosnitch.

No worries, thanks for trying and letting me know!

I'll close this issue since I am pretty sure the update will have fixed the root cause of the notifications, or at minimum reduce it to just one notification if it does happen again. Feel free to reopen this issue or create a new one if it happens again.
