this feels like a nice afternoon to just watch incoming traffic in the system log, flowing by quietly
it's interesting how the pace can be faster or slower. relaxing.
most of this is legit traffic, even if we have minor capacity issues from it. that feels good. the "default" situation with any self-hosting scenario is that most traffic is malicious.
it would be a lot of work to compare for-real, and the point of doing this is to relax, so we won't... but it feels like this is slower than before we put the 429 thing in place. so that's good.
