My children are having a school friend over for a sleepover, so I'm taking advantage of some free time to ensure all the cables in my home server cabinet are labelled.
My approach is pretty low-fi - my wife's Dymo labeller, plus a bag of zip-ties that have integral labels. I only discovered those a few years ago and they've made a significant improvement to the quality of my cabling in general.
I'm going to quietly ignore the clamouring in my brain over the change in naming convention. The older labels are in the form `server.home` or `server.local`; the newer are just in the form `server`.
