This list is cool, but I think it would be more useful with some quick notes on side effects. I think all but the most hardcore Linux lovers won't have enough breadth and depth to understand the full ramifications of many of these config changes.
I'm no Linux expert but even having used it for a fair number of years, I only have a shallow understanding of most of the things that are tweaked here, if I've even heard of them at all. For example, it says "kernel.kexec_load_disabled=1", and points out the threat which I can understand, but I don't know what that's used for in the first place. Perhaps it isn't really ever used for anything, but it'd be nice to be told that, because my initial line of thinking is that these defaults must be defaults for a reason and that makes me hesitant to actually make any of the changes.
