DNS (Domain Name Service) was invented in 1983. DNS is a system that lets you
turn names into IP addresses so that your computer can know how to connect with
websites like tailscale.com. This is a simple service, so the authors of 4.3 BSD
specified a simple configuration file called
/etc/resolv.conf:
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.122.1
In this case, it tells the DNS resolution function to use 192.168.122.1 as the
DNS server. This means that when you do lookups for websites like tailscale.com,
it will ask 192.168.122.1 to do that lookup for you:
$ nslookup tailscale.com
Server: 192.168.122.1
Address: 192.168.122.1:53

The Networknomicon, or SNMP Mastery
The Simple Network Management Protocol, SNMP, empowers you to invoke ancient standards from the void. SNMP exposes the secrets of your network and servers, and–if you’re careless–reconfigures them into unspeakable nightmares. It exposes your inadequate brain to the vast alien dimensions underlying modern computing.
SNMP is authentic dark magic.
Abdul Alhazred’s infamously rumored Networknomicon, or SNMP Mastery, has long been blamed for the Spanish Inquisition, the Second World War, and Cleveland. While nuclear “testing” was thought to have eradicated all copies of the manuscript, an astute student with a baggy shirt and considerable mob debts recently liberated one tattered survivor from the Miskatonic University Library of Computer Science.
