from the RFC?-provide-comments-here dept.

Darius Kazemi has written an update on scans of early Requests for Comments (RFC) at the Computer History Museum. Specifically scans of RFCs 1 through 9 are available. RFC1 being printed in April of 1969. In all, the first nine RFCs are 98 pages. Transcriptions are available at the IETF in their index of RFCs. These documents are occasionally informational or experimental, but by and large define the specifications which define what is now the Internet, ranging from (mostly) defunct Telnet and FTP to the modern TLS and SSH and everything in between such as DNS and from layer 3 on up.

    Pffftpt. The AC above was making reference to early internet trolls to go along with early internet RFCs.
     
    (The quote database on bash.org is a really fun place to spend time being nostalgic btw.)
     
    Speaking of decades old jokes, I'm gonna go put on my robe and wizard's hat [bash.org]. (note - not entirely safe for work)

      Thanks for noticing!

      Was it to subtle?

        That or someone saw it that was caught by the original and you dredged up painful memories :-)

        Maybe if bash included dates.
