Still sort of web stuff, but not the kind that HN usually does:
I'm trying to get back into computer networking - both physical cables and the computer code sides of things. Over the past 5 years beginning in the covid lockdowns, I've been watching a lot of the application layer stuff that was written over the past 10-15 years (the stuff HN usually does) slowly blow up. Usually because some REST API or something either broke or got depreciated somehow. This has been affecting both cloud and desktop apps I use, and has made me see the real value in refreshing my lower level network knowledge.
Heck, I'm honestly thinking about getting a CCNA now (or some other non-degree universal cert).
