  • Yaml is dogshit format. If you need tree-like structure use json if you need list of props use toml or simple key value pairs. I fucking hate app properties in yaml.

    • can’t search shit
    • copy-paste doesn’t “just work” when you want to merge two files
    • your editor doesn’t show whitespaces and you messed up somewhere - valid but incorrect
    • messed up formatting your list of banned IPs/hosts/ports/users/subnets/commands - get pwned

    I’ll rather save my data in Copybook and record it on tape then use this Python-bastardized abomination
