As it turns out, one of the popular open-source tools had a default configuration to store their backups in S3. And, as a placeholder for a bucket name, they used… the same name that I used for my bucket.

It's completely insane that the tool would attempt to connect to a nonexistent bucket for backups by default instead of just... having them disabled completely?
