I was planning to finally learn nftables, which replaces ipset, which enhanced iptables, which was also replaced by nftables, except that everyone uses ufw, which uses iptables on the back end, or sometimes a compatibility layer for nftables that makes it support iptables config. Except people using RedHat, who use firewalld.

Except then I discovered libvirt-daemon requires iptables, at which point I decided I had better things to do. Getting rid of dnsmasq was bad enough, and far more rewarding.
