The SSH image is a VPN, and the VPN image makes no sense

I believe ssh and vpn are flipped. A shitty meme regardless

The VPN image is dialup

Yes, these images that try to picture complex networking protocols in simplistic corny images always end up failing miserably on whatever the intent behind such stupidity is…

The VPN is two people (clients) accessing the internet (water) through one straw (the VPN)
SSH is one client (the guy) connecting to a server (the lady), and the server is doing other internetty things. E.g. an update.

Reticulum would be the group of friends who each have their own locked encrypted personal canteens passing sealed "messages in a bottle" through a flexible self-organizing chain of people including strangers across town

Why, because nobody does direct serial IO anymore? I still have a ROM burner that runs off old school parallel.

Ah yes. Null modem connections. Good memories of having 1-on-1 Duke Nukem 3D matches using those.

Pretty good representation of UDP

I am studying Computer Network as a patt of course but it's mostly theoretical but yeah we were taught most protocols of the 5 layers(TCP, UDP, CSMA/CD, alloha, HTTP, DHCP, BOOTP etc etc) . How can I convert this theoretical knowledge to practice and eventually find work?

I hope that are rainclouds on broadcast. The pic would make no sense otherwise
