@b0rk ☝️☝️☝️
From DNS to CSS, bash to Docker, Julia's zines are excellent explainers and truly useful. And they're now on sale. And she lives in Montreal 🇨🇦.
@b0rk you're really good at making complex subjects an enjoyable read!
Have you considered doing some on CPU memory allocation and Rust's borrowing system? I think there's a lot of confusion around the borrowing system when people approach the language from other langs.
@b0rk This is the only thing I’m going to buy tomorrow!
first: my newest zine, The Secret Rules of the Terminal!
This has all the gnarly details about the Unix terminal that I wish I knew when I started using it. It's weird and kind of wonderful (I talk about why you can use your mouse in the terminal!)

@b0rk so excited to have found your work!
@b0rk have you ever illustrated how dns, nis, or kerberos works i am new to your work and in the "delight and awe" phase of the tour and thank you @scottwilson for your post that @dfirnotes picked up <3
next: How Containers Work!
Docker containers are actually many different Linux features mashed together, and I found containers WAY easier to understand when I understood the individual Linux features: namespaces! capabilities! pivot_root! overlay filesystems! seccomp!

@b0rk oooh I remember that one from years(?) ago! Such a good entry point and primer on namespaces and cgroups when you wanna find out what's going on behind the scenes!
