Aside relevance:
so this member checks his internet consumption and has a little shock seeing that he seems to have burnt over 5GB in a few hours, which were especially odd since he could not remember having done anything special, as some practical reasons rendered it impossible in that timeframe. He started suspecting malware.
Than it dawned on him: in those hours he spent time scrolling one page in Reddit. Ludicrous as it is, that remains the only relevant voluntary activity.
And then he planned to start monitoring consumption systematically through `iftop` (which also needs permanent in-session memory of total consumption per address/domain, by the way).
