It's RFC 1's 54th birthday! If you were unaware, in 2019 I did a blog-a-day project where I read through and summarized/contextualized each of the first RFCs up through RFC 365.

https://write.as/365-rfcs/table-of-contents

I even uncovered a lost RFC!

@darius that project is for sure on my top ten all-time fediverse-facing works list.

@darius I still think about your your RFC-a-day posts pretty regularly

@darius how much info did you have on early arpanet before going into this project? Is there enough context in the RFC alone that you were able to parse it all together?

@andrew I had a lot of context, and continued to collect it over the course of the project

@darius It’s a great project. I kinda wanted to do something similar (although I definitely didn’t have the ambition to do 365) for registered/well-known tcp/udp ports.

@darius This is one of my favourite blog series of all time. Just wanted to say thank you for it.
