An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Currently they're in types in ziploc baggies but there must be a better way

the baggies:

  • USB A > USB C
  • USB C <> USB C
  • USB A > USB B Micro
  • Ethernet
  • HDMI to different sized HDMI
  • HDMI to USB B
  • HDMI to other USB
  • HDMI to HDMI
  • USB female to male and extenders
  • Dongles, converters, and USB hubs
  • VGA
  • USB A to lightning bolt
  • A few old ipod charging cables

Not pictured: separate drawer for guitar cables, XLR, headphones jack to jack and adapters, phono and midi; separate duffel bag for long power cables; separate baggie in another drawer for international adapters and plugs

I don't, they're everywhere

I prefer a more stochastic approach.

I use a combination of zip lock bags and small cardboard boxes with the contents written on the outside.

Three drawers, divided into USB, A/V, and power supply/adaptors.

Like that photo.

Into nooses.

I have a few small totes. I have a few categories: USB, networking, computer internals (SATA), power, A/V. From there, I just coil them up and hope for the best. I still have to hunt a little to find stuff, but the vague categories makes it a lot easier.

Clear plastic bins full of toilet paper rolls with the cables folded and inserted so that both ends stick out upwards. Keeps everything tidy and visible at a glance.

Nice! So far I have a box of bags, vaguely sorted by function

[–] ToxicWaste@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

went to a shoe shop and asked them for old shoe boxes. now i have free cardboard boxes, all the same size and easy stackable.

I have a 5 gallon bucket 3/4 full with just USB cables of all types.
