@slink Yep, evergreen.
I know we're default in at least their older OS versions which is hopefully a complement but dang, they are super inefficient.

We monitor how much traffic we get from each country per day to check errors/blocking etc. (as I've previously mentioned).

Big drop-off recently from Angola & as usual it's an ISP (TV Cabo) changing their "is the internet working" config.

That prompted me to (again) look at how much we're serving to Fortigate "is the internet working" checks per month, roughly:

- 109 million web pages
- 10 Terabytes of egress

What a waste.

Make `head` requests rather than `get`, please!

A very large CDN supplier emailed us today to say they are having to increase prices because their energy costs have risen up to 2x and servers are now 1.5x the price.

Sounds like AI crap making everything else more expensive, again.
