Currently they’re in types in ziploc baggies but there must be a better way
the baggies:
- USB A > USB C
- USB C <> USB C
- USB A > USB B Micro
- Ethernet
- HDMI to different sized HDMI
- HDMI to USB B
- HDMI to other USB
- HDMI to HDMI
- USB female to male and extenders
- Dongles, converters, and USB hubs
- VGA
- USB A to lightning bolt
- A few old ipod charging cables
Not pictured: separate drawer for guitar cables, XLR, headphones jack to jack and adapters, phono and midi; separate duffel bag for long power cables; separate baggie in another drawer for international adapters and plugs
Toiletpaper-rolls works 👍
Oh, that is brilliant!
no brilliant, only dull
Right, sorry, I got carried away.
Which this solution is. No excitement or other problems. Just grab a cable and off you go.
Why you need so many though?
It just feels wrong to throw away cables…
This is very clever.
You’ll make the bidet people cry
You can use a bidet to keep the cables in, too
That’s a great hack. Reduces the cleanup of having them zip tied together too. Grab and go
What did you do with all that toilet paper, though?
Shit on it
I don’t go through toilet paper quick enough for this to be viable, I’m not waiting years to have a pile of them
That’s a great idea, plus you can label them on the outside of the roll!
I mostly use assorted small cardboard boxes – usually from computer peripherals.
If Lemmy gave awards I’d give you one. I’m glad it doesn’t though.
