I tried to study a bit from beej.us and I appreciated the style of teaching, but ultimately thought it wasn’t for me as it didn’t go much into depth and focused more on creating C programs. Is there some source from where I can learn in a comprehensive yet easy to understand manner the fundamentals of computer networking, at least to the extent that is relevant for selfhosting?


Network Chuck’s earlier videos are pretty good, especially the You Suck At… series.
Unfortunately he’s been pushing AI shit lately.
They are archived for download at https://archive.org/details/NetworkChuck. That way you don’t have to jump through all of YT’s bs.
At least the AI-related videos of his I’ve seen were about running models locally, and for relatively legitimate use cases (training text-to-speech voices and commanding Home Assistant), so it could be worse.
Yeaaah was thinking the same… He got me into docker containers and I’m glad I did ! Nice and easy introduction :) but his last 10 or so videos are all about AI and stuff… ://
