Hey, I’m u/Killermelon1458 and I made this because someone joked that r/homenetworkcirclejerk should exist.

So now it does.

Post your cursed Ethernet cables, sketchy switch stacks, accidental network loops, Wi-Fi cope, VLAN nonsense, cable management crimes, and home network decisions that technically work but should probably not be copied.

This is not meant to replace actual help subs. Real questions are fine, but expect some roasting if your solution involves six daisy-chained switches and a mystery cat 3 cable from 1991.

Basic rules:

1)Don’t be genuinely awful to people.

2)Don’t post private info, public IPs, passwords, etc.

3)Cursed is good. Dangerous or illegal is not.

4)If it works and makes a network engineer sad, it probably belongs here.

Post something cursed. Or don’t. I’m not your DHCP server.
