You remember the glowing green 12:00 that nobody in the house ever fixed.

You remember the little blinking box that held strangers’ voices hostage on a cassette the size of a postage stamp.

I ran a ‘harmless’ config script against a pfSense box and watched the entire firewall configuration evaporate in a single function call.
