nixCraft 🐧IT in a nutshell 😂
Deborah Pickett@nixCraft I literally took a one-hour flight to move an Ethernet cable from port 5 to port 6 in a switch because the person onsite didn't notice that the switch port numbering counted from zero.
tinfoilhat@tinfoilhat @nixCraft Here’s how the conversation went:
“Are you sure it’s in port 6?”
“Yeah, I’ve counted.”
“Because it starts from zero.”
“I’m sure.”
<hours later, across Bass strait>
<unplugs, replugs adjacent>
“Can I get a lift back to the airport, please?”
