I just want to applaud this for the effort.

I've seen jvns take a similar path to me in engineering over the years, almost uncannily. The difference mostly is that I stored it all in my head, and they take the time to write it up for everyone.

Same with DNS. DNS is such a freakin black box, mostly because outside of RFCs, it's some good ol boys club of 'consultants' that don't want to share information. You should see the mailing lists, it's a giant pissing contest.

Back on point, I always wanted to distill this information down to make it for everyone, but always hit some small hurdle like... making a website about it.

That Julia takes the time to do this and share this is invaluable. It's like a better version of me exists out there, and I'm happy for it.
