Off My Chest

RULES:


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.

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

Then I shall suffer some more. Simply out of pride, since I just bought my tool set and I'd hate to feel like that money went down the drain. ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿฅฒ

At least check out the pass through rj45s. Looks like you got something there that will cut them all for you after you crimp them.
