        Make it an easy to remember sentence with proper punctuation and spacing?

        IE: Does your dog like cheese?

        That's my go to.

        I'm guessing that "correct horse battery staple" is in every dictionary attack in the world now.

              But "staple horse balls through battery" isn't. . . LOL

                Rebuilding a patch panel, looks like the incarnation of the spaghetti monster right now. Should look like this when it's done:

                Patch panel
                48 port switch
                Patch panel
                Cable management panel
                Patch panel
                48 port switch
                Patch panel

                ... and so on. A lot of work, but it's worth the effort.

                You don't have a full rack of patch panels, then a full rack of switches?

                That's how it looks like right now. And it looks like crap. 3 to 7.5m long cables, barely manageable. Will be replaced by 0.25m cables. There are just 400 ports

                            Thanks! Yeah, I am not done yet. I had that 2-post installed several years ago and have gradually moved over to it. I started with something worse than this pic below (it is my server room but this was taken about 3/4 of the way through the process of replacing the drops). All cables were crimped directly out of the ceiling without any slack and the crimps were so bad that some would lose connection when you were trying to trace a cable and most had no labels. If they did, they had people's names. That is super helpful when someone leaves the company or plays musical offices/desks, which is very common here.

                              Setting up a TURN server, so my NextCloud install can hopefully do the video conferencing thing. NextCloud 13 is looking nice, wish it would hurry up and get to the stable release.

                                        A "server administrator" position. I'll be part of a team, and from what I've gathered about the environment, it seems like a logical "next step" for me.

                                        Hope you're feeling better. 😄

                                          Phone interview done. Now I wait. /sigh

                                          What did you apply for? I have been sick for what seems like a month, ever since I took that late flu shot. I dont know how everyone got along without me :person_climbing_medium-dark_skin_tone:

                                          A "server administrator" position. I'll be part of a team, and from what I've gathered about the environment, it seems like a logical "next step" for me.

                                          Hope you're feeling better. 😄

                                          Good luck

                                            @thwr Thanks :D. I got notification that they want an in-person interview tomorrow, so at the very least it's moving in the right direction. Worst case is getting some interview XP.
