“It’s not a principle if it doesn’t cost you anything”
Also just curious about your deeply held principles in general.
No political grandstanding please.

KISS — “Keep It Simple, Stupid”
Even when there’s more complex software with way more features, I’ll keep using the simple shit that works for me.
For example, I’m sure firewalld is great, with more features than something like ufw (maybe more secure?). But, the amount of work to add a single allow exception across the local network is more work than a single command equivalent in ufw. So, I would rather stick to the primitive approach of ufw.
Its another reason why I dont mess with stuff like tiling window managers, NixOS, and certain CLI apps that have GUI frontends. Just keeping it simple, even when it causes issues, simplifies things for me, leading to less manual upkeep from my end.
I needed to hear this today, thanks
It’s really about balance and what you hope you to get out of it (easier to set up again next time? less fragile setup? learning?).
A mitre saw is more dangerous than a handsaw and requires you to learn to use it properly and safely. It also enables you to do more and faster. It’s a tradeoff :)
