            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 ;)

        I always crimp my own, including using slide-on/slide-off hoods. That way I can back the hood off before plugging it into the port, which keeps it easy to disconnect, and I can slide it back on before pulling it through a tight spot.

      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.
