Also note that ratelimit wouldn't have solved my issue either. It
wasn't that systemd was rapidly spewing into the kernel buffers. It was
doing it gradually, for every connection that I made to the box (lots
of automated connections were also being logged). I believe something
happened on Friday but due to all the unnecessary logging over the
weekend, I lost it.

To make matters worse, I lost my /var/log/syslog data from then.
logrotate was a bit more destructive than I expected.
