My take:
I use aliases heavily in my shell (bash), but I rarely use bash scripting
at all.
For any serious scripting, since about 2016 I'ved used Raku (formerly Perl
6). Before that I used Perl. Both are much easier to use.

On the new host I did:

And my server leasing company blocks no ports outside each host’s own

A little more digging shows the new server is using fail2ban and nft
tables, so I
need help on how to properly allow
ut no open ports in spite of the output shown.
I am considering moving to ufw but am reluctant due to the possibility
of getting locked-out of my remote server. I am used to logging in
with two separate terminals to avoid that during initial setup but
want to make sure that is safe.
