I don't have it with me because I'm helping someone remotely, but I'm almost certain it's a PS/2 connection from a previous video call we had. I'll double check though because that's a good point you make. I should look out for that possibility.
Thanks. I'm helping someone with this but I'll get them to send me the manual that came with this to see if I can get more details on the power requirements. From the video I linked in another comment, it seems to work.
It could well do. I decided to order this late in the night so if it doesn't work for me I'll try your suggestion.

Maybe the part I heard about is specially made to account for that too. Hmm. Thanks, I'll look into it further. Edit: according to this video (3 minutes, 15 seconds mark), the adaptors do work.
Oh, I see what you mean. Thanks, I’ll look into it.
That could solve a lot of my problems.
Someone suggested renicing the processes. Not sure how practical it would be but I’ll look into it. Besides that I think I’ll just return to using an SMB server. It was ugly but it was easy :) The Pi4 isn’t expensive these days either. Thanks again, I appreciate it!
I never thought of that, good idea. This docker image spins off a lot of processes so I wonder if there’s a high-level way to instruct that for all of them.
That’s really interesting. I did a quick test and the RAM usage is still creeping up but I’d need to let it run for longer to see if it plateaus at a lower level. Thanks for the suggestion.
The "I don't care if you go broke, give me what I want" stance I'm seeing online seems short-sighted at best and narcissistic at worst.
It seems I'm out of luck on this kernel / hardware. After applying some limitations I get the following when I run the container:
Your kernel does not support memory soft limit capabilities or the cgroup is not mounted. Limitation discarded.
It’s one thing to tweak a browser that comes in kit form from Mozilla’s code. It’s another thing altogether to continue maintaining it if Firefox ever dies. I don’t know if any of these clones have the kind of teams needed to do all the work Mozilla have done for them.
