Been there, done that, never doing it again. I worked in a shop where the manager wanted custom length cables, so we'd route the cable through the cable managers then cut and crimp each end. I'm *horrible* at crimping connectors!

Yeah, I missed the opportunity to take home 2 DL380 Gen8 boxes with dual xeons, 256 gb of RAM and a ton of disk. Way too much noise and power, though.

All I'm running full-time is the BBS, then a couple of containers - PiHole, Nginx Proxy Manager and a self-hosted bookmark manager. I don't need a whole lot.
