From a practical perspective, I'm good with anything above/including the bottom left to top right diagonal. It's hard to argue with the effectiveness of an excavator if you know where the fiber optics are buried though.

You had me at “Purity” and “Firewall” on the same slide

I don't quite see how iptables ended up in the dedicated network device row. I assume they don't mean the Linux iptables?

Where does Opnsense land in here. And also, what does any of this mean?

I think it’s a joke where the punchline is in the lower right box.

Opnsense is probably in the left column, somewhere between he center and bottom boxes. If you can’t find it there, it may be at the Progress Bar having a double bourbon, thinking about its place in the world.

"spanning-tree is a firewall" got me pretty good also
