poprhythm 4d9d15417a falco/netdata: tune out obsidian/ttyd/ollama noise, fix swap alarm flapping
No repeat intrusion - investigated all Falco alerts since deployment
(2026-08-08 to 2026-08-16); the only crypto-miner rule hits were the
original test alerts. The daily self-resolving Telegram alerts the user
was seeing came from four known-benign sources: Obsidian's Electron
self-re-exec pattern and s6-init sudoers setup (fires ~daily on container
recreation), ttyd/Synchronet's telnet/pv/busybox-extras BBS tooling, and
ollama's nvidia-ctk ldconfig-refresh hook (memfd_create by design). Added
scoped exceptions for each via Falco's own rule extension points, same
pattern as the earlier pg_isready/gitea fixes.

Also fixed netdata's used_swap alarm, which recalculated from the
instantaneous raw sample every 10s with only a 30s notification debounce -
a brief swap spike was enough to page both Telegram and (via Netdata
Cloud) email. Widened the up-delay to 5m so only sustained swap pressure
notifies.

Verified end-to-end via a fresh fake-xmrig test after redeploying Falco
and reloading netdata: CRITICAL alarm fired and Telegram delivery
succeeded.
