my favourite thing about the modern internet is seeing posts on forums dated this year where people talk about needing a crossover cable if not connecting to a router or switch
@rey@maffsie You know, that tidbit is in the back of my brain because of the A+ classes in highschool, but I think the NICs were thoroughly magic at that point.
A silly instance of Mastodon for queer folk and non-queer folk alike. Let's be friends!

@maffsie "i messed up and used the wrong cable, but i noticed it a few months later and switched it out! whew, that was a close call"
