Don’t Let Anyone Take Away Your Big Box of Cables - Jim Nielsen’s Blog

I clean out my SnakeBox pretty regularly. Sometimes there just isn’t a reason to keep them anymore.
It’s worse having to dig through a bunch of garbage to find the cable you want, then to have to order a new cable once every 10 years.

I can’t tell you the next time I’ll need a 50ft null modem cable…but I can tell you it’ll be within a month of throwing mine out.

I finally got rid of my FireWire 800 and esata cables. Are you telling me that was a mistake?
Replying to @meat@lemmy.blahaj.zone
No. I work in IT where I dig through a box of cables pretty often. I’ve never once needed a firewire or esata cable.
