Perhaps too late, I found out that the netstat command has been superceded by the ss command. This blog post talks about other commands that are also obsolete/deprecated. Thought other folks might want to know.

I used netstat for the longest time but switched to ss after netstat had me chasing my tail over a connection "that didnt exist", ss ended up showing it while netstat did not.

also i did not see mention of using nftables instead of ipset or iptables

Maybe not a utility command, but I still type “pico” and get nano. I do it deliberately now, out of nostalgia.

And less is more, vi has been (vim)proved, etc.
