always buy the more expensive ones with the foreskin.

The foreskin gets in the way when pulling it out of the port though.

Hot

[–] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure your ethernet cable shouldn't be getting hot

[–] havokdj@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What about getting hot for your Ethernet cable?

Your nice, long, sexy Ethernet cable? With that wide bandwidth? That low latency? I'm getting wet just thinking about it. Let's LAN party ;)

Choke me daddy

And spank me with this:

I've never had that problem 😉

I've never heard it called foreskin, that's pretty funny, but FYI, the proper term is "boot". And I'm a big fan of no boots in the rack. They are nice for desks and places cables might be rearranged constantly, but in switches and backs of servers they just slow you down.
