Getting Connected

You asked GET / HTTP/1.1
I said HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Although these days we take it all for granted and the complex series of data transfer across many networks isn’t something we tend think much about until the Wi-Fi drops or our 5G isn’t working & our 1080p film pauses to buffer, our 2ms ping spikes up or our next Instagram reel doesn’t load…
…it is always worth cheering the tremendous achievement of getting even this text on your screen from afar.
Welcome to the Internet!

I recently decided to add this blog into the public internet to sharing some of my technical guides & references I found useful and to publish personal media content for people to see.

I won’t hate on your physical connection type,
I won’t assume your Link-Layer protocol,
I won’t expect that you use IPv6,
I won’t even contemplate if this HTTP content can be delivered to you by UDP instead of TCP.

I will simply say ( sincerely ) well done for getting online wherever and however you have, given that the monumental History Behind the Internet is Crazy.
