  • The only real permissions systems I’m familiar with are the basic octal permissions in *NIX and NTFS permissions. I know those aren’t really quite the same but they’re the closest I have actual experience with to be able to have an opinion about.

    At one point I also knew a little iptables but that was over fifteen years ago now.

    As said, I really should spend some time with them, I just need the motivation.

    For me it’s not so much hate as just not really having experience with it, so most of the time if it causes an issue I either just find a command that sets the policy correctly, or more likely disable it.

    I should spend some time figuring it out, but it’s just one more seemingly esoteric and arcane system that feels at first like it merely exists to get in my way, like systemd, and I’m left wondering do I really need this headache, and what is it really giving me anyway?
