Just head down to my local bar, there’s plenty of them.

I only ever think about the Holy Roman Empire, so I’m not in the in-group sadly :-(

I run Debian at home because “Microsoft evil”, but I kinda think the Windows 10 image we use at work is alright. I work at a Forbes 500 company with a huuuge IT department, so I’m guessing they’ve done well at setting up group policies or something to make a de-cluttered experience for us. At least I never see any ads or Bing bullshit, and the Start menu works like I expect from ye old days. I could never make W10 work just as sleek at home, so I gave up and moved to Linux.

That said, most developers here still use a local Linux VM for actual developing lol.

I frequently dream about having an upcoming quantum physics exam which I have not studied for. It’s 12 years since I handed in my master’s thesis and got my engineering degree.

Am I normal?

Yeah, let’s call it a self defence cable instead. Like a corded taser.

Or ensuring the spool is still useful 15 years later while everything has migrated to SFP/QSFP

Nah, the remaining spool will be useful for the rest of its/your lifetime, it always comes in handy as a generic 4-pair twisted pair signal cable for any non-ethernet purpose. I’ve used my old spool twice this year; first for an m-bus cable to my power meter and then for a limit switch for my garage door.

Barely an inconvenience.

Oh, the irony

Yeah, but which of the two arrows though? The yellow one pointing to the right, or the white pointing to the left?
