no conspiracy other than it guided otherwise ignorant folks on what hardening a system could look like.

what is that “thing” on top of the desktop chassis? a wifi antenna?

“what could possibly go wrong?”

it’s still present on a few distros but 10-15 years ago, some existing ip and new /iproute2 came along made better the interaction.

I was unaware ifconfig was no longer a thing a little while back. boy oh boy did it take a long time to troubleshoot.

“we - we didn’t listen!”

the usual suspect is updates of all those packages since the iso was published…
