No Starch Press, 2019. — 24 p.Get the most out of your Linux system using tools you already have! These illustrated zines by Julia Evans (@b0rk) will teach you how simple it can be to tame the powerful beast called Linux.Find out what your programs are doing and why. Understand how your system's parts talk to each other and what to do when they bicker. And see how a cat GIF travels from a distant server to your very own screen.This zine explains:
how packets are put together
all the steps to download a cat: DNS, sockets, TCP connections, HTTP, and TLS
networking notation

what even is a “port”
and more!I’m really excited about this – I spent a really long time being confused about how any of this networking stuff worked AT ALL, and I’m hoping this zine will help some people understand a few more things.Also I am worried about what is happening in the world this week, and I wanted to do a small thing to help.
