[@DavidLindes]

12:25/12:27 - hmmm, do I sense an oblique reference to RFC 1606? :) Nice summary. And it's somehow kinda cool to me that you went with the 4-layer model, rather than the 7-layer OSI model (or its extension to 9 layers, though that's fun, too. ;) )... though a passing reference to the idea that there exist other models for thinking about these layers might have been useful to some. Anyway, good stuff.

[@immanuelsuleiman7550]

There are no words in the English language that can explain how happy I am to see this video. I honestly thought you were dead. I was so worried. I don't know what's going on in your personal life I'm just happy that you're back. 2020 sucks but science elf is back. And that's awesome.

[@glitchy_weasel]

Dude really cool, I've always curious about the "layers" but I couldn't never understand them properly. Now i have a clearer understanding of how it works. Nice video!

[@patrickdallaire5972]

I know this blocked me for a while during my education, for those that are wondering what is meant by "layer": When solving big problems, it's a good idea to break it down into smaller problems, right? So, you could say you're breaking the down the monolithic challenge into "blocks". This helps engineers visualize and even make diagrams for every challenge they have to face. A "layer" is type of "block" where the direct interaction is largely limited to the other directly above or bellow it. For example: If you had layers A, B and C. A cannot communicate with C without going through B. It's important to note that blocks can be broken down further or packed together. It's up to the analyst to break it down as much as they (and their colleagues) need to and no further. So, it's no suprise that a layer addresses multiple problems but what the name implies is not lost. The blocks inside of (composing) the layer are limited to interact with the ones within the same layer or the others from the layers directly above and bellow it. Since layers can be composed of other blocks, it's no surprise that you can find "sublayers" (layers within layers). Anw... "layers" and "blocks" (aka packages, modules and/or objects) are essential components of the jargon we use to visually represent problems and solutions. If it still isn't clear to you, don't feel too bad. It takes practice for the author to get a "feel" for how his ideas should be divided up into words, sentences, paragraphs and so on. There's no "perfect" way to do this. That's why I like to think of problem solving as an art sometimes.

When history witnesses a great change, Science Elf reveals himself... first, as a dark memelord. As a memelord, it uses his power to rain Windows ME upon the land, and then he dies. However, after a period of slumber, Science Elf returns, this time, as a great hero.

That little Mac Color Classic is a true thing of beauty. I still think about buying one every now and again. When they first came out I think it was the first time I had tech lust.

[@ichspielemaletwas]

And he's back... and the video is high quality. Did you spend 10 months working on it? Also the mic ruins the video since its medium quality and you can feel the difference in quality quickly. I also think ports as rooms and when you portforward a port it's rooms door is being opened and then packets can come in and out.
