Networking

Bumping for possibly more resources. How do you make the jump from theory to actual practical application? Reading through this book by Tanenbaum is cool and all, but I doubt I'll retain much information if I never actually use it in any meaningful way. Will we see cyberpunk become a reality in our lifetime?

Make notes. Models. Summarize. Repeat.
Don't be a bitch.

Start with Networking Essentials by Microsoft Press.

Some data collected from some facial recognition program on a public computer somewhere, iirc.

bumping for interest

The cyberpunk dystopia is literally now, we're already living it.

You just don't know enough to see it around you, but if you're serious about getting into networking you'll start noticing it the more you learn.

I guess you're right. I'm excited to learn more. Too bad TOR is just a bunch porn and it runs so slowly, and there's no body hacks yet. This dystopia sucks.

There's plenty of cool shit out there, private intranets, alternatives to the TCP stack being developed, packet radio, pirate w-meshes, drone swarms, for better or worse, in the very near future.

Right now you don't know WHAT you don't know, once you know enough to know what you don't know you'll know what to learn and what to disregard.

Unfortunately Sup Forums isn't the place for that sort of thing, there are better higher quality chans you might want to look into.

So far my search for better communities has been largely unsuccessful.I know of one that's nice as soykaf but it's pretty inactive, it's like kicking whales down the beach. Other communities required either being invited, vouched for, or required proof of your skills and knowledge.
