If globally internet goes does tomorrow the only thing we need to preserve is Networking For Dummies book. In exactly seven days we would have local networks restored with all the content imaginable travelling through gigabit channels between peers.

If all computers go down and all cables burn to ashes simultaneously then it's maybe a good idea to preserve RISC-V For Dummies and Cable-making For Dummies as well.




Networking for dummies cane create dummy networks.

I wish we could preserve old school network engineers instead


“old school” as in: two big cisco core routers with hand written config and no further documentation?


I guess I see where you are coming from.

It's funny that in times with "two big cisco core routers with hand written config" system were way more stable compared to now when everything is documented and built by "best practices".


I'm glad we've come a long way in the last ~25 years: 2 <random brand> routers with hand written config and no documentation!
