I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
To be or not to be

My fingers are burning
My patience is gone
Is this the price of learning
Network engineering on my own?
Had I instead chosen T568A
Would it have been a child's play?
Nay, ended up with a crossover cable, I would have
Becoming crazy, becoming mad
Suitable for patching similar devices
Unfit for my goals, unrewarding of my sacrifices
Okay I'm done. Fuck this I'm gonna munch a bunch now.๐๐๐๐ญ๐ฅช๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ช
Not to mention the quality of the wire or whether or not it is stranded vs solid. Stranded is generally always harder imo.
These are stranded and behave like overcooked spaghetti. Mamma mia.
This too. Solid core is infinitely easier to work with than stranded. Also, take the time to get the kinks and curls out of the wire. They make little combs for doing this, but I always just use the side of a pen or something similar.
