I asked ChapGPT to write a tragic story about a retired #DarthVader. I was not disappointed. 😂
Once a powerful Sith Lord, Darth Vader had retired from his life of violence and oppression. However, years of indulgence and a lack of physical activity had taken their toll on his once-imposing form. Vader had grown overweight and out of shape, and he could no longer fit into his iconic suit.
To cope with his regrets and loneliness, Vader had turned to alcohol, becoming a heavy drinker. His once-fearsome presence was now that of a slovenly, bloated figure. He spent his days lounging in his palace on Mustafar, surrounded by empty bottles and takeout containers.
Vader's descent into drunkenness had also made him a terrible person. He was prone to outbursts of anger and had little regard for the feelings of those around him. He would often belittle and berate his loyal stormtroopers, and he had long since lost any shred of the compassion and morality he had once possessed.
To make matters worse, Vader had developed a troubling flatulence problem. He would often release noxious gas at inappropriate times, leaving those around him gagging and trying to flee the stench.
Despite his fall from grace, Vader could not bring himself to care about his deteriorating health and relationships. He was consumed by self-pity and a longing for the power and respect he had once commanded.
As he lay dying alone in his palace, his only companions being his bottle and his flatulence, Vader realized too late the true cost of his actions and choices. His legacy was one of destruction and misery, and he was remembered as a monster rather than a hero.
@rysiek It's not trivial though. 4 man crew vs prototypical combloc T series of 3. Armour takes a lot of training, plus maintenance is hard to get set up.
Modern Linux seems to be full of things that complicate but don't actually add anything. Maybe I'm just getting old.
Yes, I can potentially *checks notes* create a script to loop through zone rules and remove them, or I could just replace the whole thing with a simpler iptables (or more likely nftables) solution.
I mean, fucking hell, c'mon guys.
Looking at config mgmt with firewalld there is no functional equivalent to 'flush', nor do the developers consider this an issue.
There is no simple, prototypical way to clear out any existing config. You can purge config files but this won't affect default Zones with added sources.
This is not optimal.

@feld It's a very specific thing people seem to say, especially on Internet forums.
@ragnarov I don't meet many people that want to talk Linux, let alone the BSDs.

@MmeLibertine It's Friday, I know the feeling.
@dave Social media validation for bigoted beliefs is evergreen.
