Networking & internet infrastructure Videos Recommended on Hacker News (78)
Networking & internet infrastructure is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 78 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2011 and 2026 — 158 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
Networking and the internet: TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, BGP, CDNs, protocols, WiFi, routing, undersea cables, internet architecture, web servers, nginx, how the internet works.
Why HN keeps sending people here — on Harder Drive: Hard drives we didn't want or need: “recommend this video to anyone here.” — an HN commenter, 2025.
