I’ve been watching some One Marc Fifty stuff on YouTube. I can follow him well, and I’m decent at much of the hardware stuff. At least I can compile OpenWRT or do a basic Gentoo install with a custom kernel. I dread staring at NFTables, but can hack around some. I don’t fully understand networking from the abstract fundamentals. Are there any good sources that break down the subject like Ben Eater did with the 8 bit bread board computer, showing all the basic logic, buses, and registers surrounding the Arithmetic Logic Unit? I’m largely looking for a more fundamental perspective on what are the core components of the stack and what elements are limited to niche applications.
I just realized I want to use self signed client certificates between devices. It was one of those moments where I feel dumb for the limited scope of my knowledge about the scale of various problems and solutions.
not exactly what you are looking for, but practical networking helped me understand the networking basics for my cs degree.
