Was watching Seb's kotlin multiplatform stream on twitch earlier this week and it hit me that I don't know enough about networking, servers (he was running an http server on an android phone and another server on his computer and communicating through them... sounds basic when I write it out, but for whatever reason I didn't know that was possible), ports, localhost, port forwarding, etc. Does anyone have a book or so they'd recommend reading. I know I can google "top networking books", but wanted to get someone from the community that maybe had a good experience with a specific book, etc.

The book from Tanenbaum is a reference in network, covering most theoretical points. https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Networks-Tanenbaum-International-Economy/dp/9332518742

android emulator also configures its network stack in a particular way, https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-networking#networkaddresses

lol. did you watch the stream ephemient? i was legit so lost on what was going on and i was like. wait. does everyone just know this stuff? imposter syndrome hit hard.

no, didn't know he was streaming. it's just functionality that I've used before

it was a really good watch (and im typically not really the type of person to watch streams(. got me insanely excited to build another quick kmp app + server + use fleet. lol https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1971143409

I wanted to watch this stream. But looks like it is not available now 😢

Thank you so much @Sebastian Aigner

@Sebastian Aigner should i bookmark that link if i plan to watch every stream you put out? or is this just a one-off case of it being removed from twitch?

twitch always removes full broadcasts after some time

oh snap. didn't know that (not a huge twitch user). thanks for the heads up

@Colton Idle I'll try to make the "viewing after the fact" experience a bit nicer in the future, but for now, yes, that's where you'll find the recordings being uploaded (with some delay)

Cool. Bookmarked
