Hey nerd friends! 🤓
🚨 In an “emergency” at home, how quickly could you lay your hands on an Ethernet cable?
I cleared out my box-o-cables a while back.
Thankfully the drawers under the TV have spares!
HBU?

@popey There's two 5m coils about 2 meters to my left, one already plugged into the house switch, also a 3m 4 way mains block. A couple of spare USB cables in arms reach. So 30s.

Anything more and I'd have to go to the garden office/workshop so a couple of minutes.

Follow up nerd question. How many DHCP leases does the home router have active at the moment? Ours has 19.

@bbeaker @popey Cables in the drawer a few feet way from me. Plugs and crimp tools in another drawer, reel of cable within sight not much further away.

DBCP leases? Think it's a couple of dozen, but my (new) router has chosen to require me to re-authenticate and I CBA to look up the password.
