Thanks to @…, TIL the word “petrichor!” More from Wikipedia:
❝Petrichor (/ˈpɛtrɪkɔːr/) is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The word was coined by Isabel Joy Bear and Richard Grenfell Thomas from Ancient Greek πέτρα (pétra) 'rock' or πέτρος (pétros) 'stone' and ἰχώρ (ikhṓr), the ethereal fluid that is the blood of the gods in Greek mythology.❞
Heh, “god-blood of stones.” Completely unnecessary levels of linguistic badassery. I approve wholeheartedly. https://infosec.town/notes/aag9xttylpw0a9p8

So this power rail is interesting. It's 1.775 mV RMS and 42 mV p-p.
~5 mV p-p of 125 MHz triangular ripple (core operating frequency of the two Ethernet PHYs on the board, plus also ~500 MHz ringing on the 300 kHz switching transients reaching 42 mV p-p ( /- 21 mV).
This is probably not enough to cause any problems, all of the 1.0V supplies on the PHY are specced at /- 50 mV, but I don't like ripple :P
