Still using these obsolete Linux commands? They might be popular from the olden days but perhaps it is time to look for alternatives.

They can take ifconfig from my cold, dead hands. I will not learn ip

scp too. What even is an rsync? BS that's what!

ifconfig actually uses a deprecated kernel interface and just can't do the things ip can.

But I don't need to do those things with ip
