It's a great book, I used to have some edition of it and it helped me a lot professionally with setting up firewalls, load balancing, traffic shaping and more.

I also had a book on Designing FreeBSD rootkits that was very educational.

Unfortunately I've given away all my books for more minimalistic living where I am instead dependent on digital information. Not sure how to feel about it.

I almost did the same and still think about doing it! I also have an older edition of this book somewhere in a small stack of OpenBSD books I purchased when I was first learning the system. These days I never reference them. But they do make for a neat OpenBSD area on my bookshelf.

I started listening to audiobooks a few years ago, even re-listened to a lot of classics I read, but in audio format. And at some point when I was ready to move to a new apartment I realized my bookshelves were just a burden. They were never used, and only gathered dust.

So I donated all my books.

I'm not saying I've learned everything, but I am senior now so all those old computer books are just collecting dust. Combined with the fact that I use search engines for everything I need to know.

I realize that if the internet goes out, I'm fucked, but I don't care.
