New nail art!

#nailart

I considered doing this in T568A, but my concern for well actually won over my trolling instincts.
@ryanc But what if you want to shake hands with someone who has USOC nails?
@woe2you usoc?
@ryanc An old American standard. T568B is only one-pair compatible with it, so you'd have to use an awkward two-finger handshake. Dumb joke.
@woe2you I would not shake hands with such a person.
@ryanc @woe2you I have it on good authority that American telecom schools used to push USOC heavily. πŸ‘€
@jima @woe2you it doesn't work for ethernet

@ryanc @woe2you Ethernet was, uh, a lot less commonplace back then. πŸ˜…

(And technically it worked IIRC, it just didn't compensate for cross-talk properly.)

@jima @ryanc @woe2you receive pin pair was on second pair of wires β€” ostensibly orange.

But transmit pin pair crossed third and fourth pairs β€” ostensibly green and brown.

The split pair made things much more noise sensitive.

@jima @ryanc @woe2you universal service order codes and the registered jack numbers are … interesting.

Especially if you look at β€œX” jacks.

@ryanc do the real USOC RJ-45 some time to blow peoples minds.

When they ask what it is, say β€œRJ-45” and have fun. 😈

@ryanc
I never understood why people default to T568B :/
@wolf480pl Because everyone defaults to T568B. 🀷
@wolf480pl @ryanc
German Wikipedia via DeepL:
The two variants are due to the fact that EIA/TIA introduced the TIA-568 standard much later than AT&T introduced its proprietary 258A standard. When TIA-568 was published, 258A was already widely used. EIA/TIA therefore adopted this already established standard as TIA-568B.

@wolf480pl @ryanc guilty, have been taught a metropolitan legend where B had more twists per cm compared to A, thus being more resilient to noise.

I will not take questions.

@ryanc 🀣 nicely done. And indeed, who in their right mind wouldn't pick 'B'
@ryanc B on the fingers, A on the toes
@ryanc I wouldn't well-actually T568A, but I would judge it.
@ryanc okay I have a NEED :P - did you do them yourself or go to a salon?
@ryanc theres an rfc for this, surely

@Viss

Naah, it's IETF standard, not RFC (and don't call them Shirley)

@ryanc

@fisher @Viss @ryanc RFCs are IETF standards; it'd be more likely to be an IEEE standard, but it's an ANSI standard.

(I didn't remember this off the top of my head, either; my kneejerk guess was IEEE.)

I 100% concur on the other part, though. πŸ˜‰

@ryanc do toenails too but make it for a crossover cable?
@ryanc this, at the very least proves you are not a "type A" person! 🀣
@ryanc I need to have my nails done like that lol
@ryanc I got that reference!
@ryanc Took me a sec, love it!
@ryanc This is awesome! :)

@ryanc I like it!

I see you are the β€œB” / data persuasion.

No β€œA” / telco for you!

Unless you cross over.

🀭

@ryanc RFE: multi-boost even if it is to my personal detriment
@ryanc Yeah, good old t568-b, everyone's favorite
@ryanc
😹 Well, I got an "LSA-Auflegewerkzeug" to crimp my first LAN-Box. And I recognized the pattern.
(But I'm still not sure, if in the house it's A or B...)
@ryanc So cool! Would you do your toes such that you become a human crossover cable?
@ryanc @djsundog so are the toes also 568-B, or did you go to 568-A?
@ryanc Shouldn't your fingers be crossed? /s 🀞🀞🀞🀞
@ryanc you need the shirt from https://vkc.sh/product-tag/t568b-cheat-sheet/ to go with it
T568B Cheat Sheet – VKC.sh | Veronica Explains

@mausmalone @ryanc Heh, shouldn't that shirt be printed upside-down?

I've crimped so many cables and jacks that I've gone to bed mumbling "stripy-orange, orange... stripy-green, blue... stripy-blue, green... stripy-brown, brown"

@ryanc I KNOW THAT CODE!
@ryanc πŸ˜† Thumbs for shielding?
@ryanc Makes me think of nautical signal flags.
@ryanc
Saying hello to someone securely is going to look like a Freemason's convention of complex handshakes
@gregalotl I prefer to save a round trip with a v1.3 handshake. :-)
@ryanc I love it so much
