@mansr > Depends on how tight your bends are, I suppose.It should be fine.And, worst case scenario, I've wasted £50 on an expensive pull-through for some Cat 6.Although I can't see any reason why terminating it in patch panels should be any different to Cat 6...

It's just a number, but today I'm celebrating that our small law firm has taken on its 2,000th project.Sandra and I quit our jobs and started our business, decoded.legal, at the start of 2016, so we've been working for ourselves for just over seven years now.It is just a number, but a happy moment for us all the same.#lawfedi #selfemployed

Good morning! The wind here has died down, and it is quiet outside.What are your plans for the day?

"open source" != "licensed under an OSI-approved licence""we value your privacy" != "we really care about data protection- and privacy-by-design and minimise data collection and usage in our products and services""we're sorry that you feel this way" != "an apology"

If my wife wants to do something "computer-y" - pretty much anything - she'll reach for her phone.If I want to do something "computer-y", I reach for my computer, for pretty much anything other than reading a short message or quick, casual browsing.Yes, everyone is different, but I much prefer a larger screen and a physical keyboard for anything but the most trivial of tasks.Are you a computer-first person, or a phone-first person?

This isn't just an excuse for me to whinge about the lack of a phone like a BlackBerry, but running Linux / not abandoned but its manufacturer.

"UK amends encrypted message scanning plans"Where "amends" means "fiddles around at the edges".If Apple, Signal, Meta, and other companies remove their communications services from the UK, and many people's private chats are subject to widespread warrantless suspicionless spying, I wonder how many of the bill's avid proponents will quietly drop their papers / work from their CVs and profile pages?#OnlineSafetyBillhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-66240006

When the first age verification scam happens, and someone is tricked into handing over their passport info to a scammer?The first compromise of an age verification service, leaking loads of sensitive ID documents?The first time a backdoored chat service is exploited, and someone's private messages are obtained?When the UK loses data protection adequacy?#OnlineSafetyBill

@revk Yes, sure - I just wanted to check I understood the principle.A standalone encrypter is not a user to user service, and is out of scope of the #OnlineSafetyBill, but in-scope services may feel compelled to block encrypted content which they cannot scan. Including password protected PDFs, zip files etc.

What was the *first* #Linux distribution you installed / attempted to install?For me - a Debian user - it was gentoo, around 2003, which was a mistake.
