Tis the Season to Barter

So my router was dropping 70-80% of packets, making it nightmarish trying to do anything via SSH. I called up a friend and asked him to pick up a cheap router from Best Buy, along with some new CAT6 ends (These are a *lot* nicer than the crap ones that took me 45 minutes apiece to do badly...).



Of course, an order like that comes to about $70, and I don't have that laying around in cash. PayPal was inconvenient for technical reasons, so we came up with a convenient solution...I just bought an equal amount of stuff from his Amazon wishlist, and am having it shipped directly to his registered address.
