How are you organizing your spare cable drawer?

Oh, that is brilliant!

Loose in box that u have to go digging through to find anything. Its the technological version of a rat king. I did go through it lat week and threw out 90% of the shit. I found cables I didn't even know existed.

Its kinda a useless box now since the only 3 cables I need in my life are USBC HDMI and power.

Or buy one then realise you already have several in that tangled mess.

no brilliant, only dull

What did you do with all that toilet paper, though?

[spankmonkey@lemmy.world]

Like a techno rat king!

[godort@lemm.ee]

Just wait. In 3 days you're going to need that null modem cable and it's going to ruin you.

Into nooses.

[cynar@lemmy.world]

For those that haven't yet discovered them, reusable cable ties exist. They make keeping cables properly coiled a lot easier. No more rat kings!

Should I be?

Sweet harmonica.

[reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Which this solution is. No excitement or other problems. Just grab a cable and off you go.

Shit on it

[i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk]

Usually it's, "I'm sure I've got one of these", can't find it, buy new one, find it somewhere else whilst waiting for the new one to turn up.

[earflap@reddthat.com]

This is very clever.

[hypeerror@sh.itjust.works]

Like that photo.

[twobeesan@lemmy.world]

That's a great hack. Reduces the cleanup of having them zip tied together too. Grab and go

[sober_monk@lemmy.world]

Right, sorry, I got carried away.
