Touchbar brightness

The default brightness of touchbar is too high for me. I can do

brightnessctl -d 228200000.display-pipe.0 set 5%

to lower it but it gets reset when touchbar turns off. Is there a way to set the default value? From looking around at GitHub - WhatAmISupposedToPutHere/tiny-dfr: The most basic dynamic function row daemon possible it seems like there are some improvements in the development version compared to what Asahi Fedora ships but from looking at the config file in that repo it wasn’t clear if it allowed setting a value.

I built the last commit on tiny-dfr without epoll support (building with epoll support caused crashes for me, see Crashes on M1 pro · Issue #28 · WhatAmISupposedToPutHere/tiny-dfr · GitHub) and turned on adaptive brightness. That helped but there is a square root in the code which meant that although my screen was 5% brightness, the touchbar was at 25%. So I removed the square root, built again and now things are better for me.
