Relaxing. Like back when you could attach WireShark to your local network and not see a single damn thing happen for tens of seconds at a time unless you pressed a button somewhere.

... But also when computers wouldn't do anything useful unless you pressed a button. Or a bunch of buttons, more likely.

What you describe about WireShark sounds zen.

It really was. Just my own machine's traffic makes it scroll faster than I can read, these days. Every web page and program constantly phoning home up and and including sending real-time mouse cursor locations, mdns, UDP local-network-device-discovery traffic, all kinds of stuff.
