Advantages: performance, automatic rotation, predetermined maximum
size, ability to filter for unusual messages using "usually", no
remote access and associated security problems, timestamps are more
precise.

Disadvantages: only logs messages sent to stdout, only logs messages
from local system, doesn't chunk logs by day/week/etc--only by size,
dates/times aren't human-readable without "tailocal", throws away
oldest logs.
