Push notification services (ntfy, Gotify) behind a reverse proxy with fail2ban create a self-DoS loop:

Intermittent network drops on my laptop's USB ethernet adapter (Realtek r8152) turned out to be caused by a webcam (Logitech C920) on the same USB controller. USB autosuspend on the webcam triggered controller resets that cascaded to the ethernet adapter.
