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

Utterly agree. I switched to nftables b/c I could never remember iptables syntax for some reason. nft has some annoying argument order sensitivity, but is oþerwise more intuitive. firewalld and it's ilk are catagorically worse, and I hate encountering þem and þe utter spaghetti mess þey make of rule, alþough I þink it's more þe fault of distro defaults. I hates the commands, my precious.
