I now have a display high enough resolution it needs HDMI 2.1 cables so am slowly getting some. Tempted just to throw out all the old cables but that seems wasteful. I should put tape labels on them or something; really dumb they aren't labelled.

USB 3.0 and USB Type-C, hooboy.

How did you segregate HDMI version / bandwidth support? Is there any way to even tell, looking at a cable?

The right way to use Handshake:

> Download HSD or the HSD/Wallet wrapper, http://BobWallet.io

> Get some HNS and send to your wallet

> Bid on any <63char string you can think of by opening an auction for it on handshake

> Buy a TLD for <$1

So if you’re able to control a domain name and set Mx records you’ve got portability. It actually works pretty well but it’s not used for individuals so much as organizations. What’s the equivalent or way to extend it to individual users.

For sure; it just requires specific functionality on the provider's side. With webfinger, we always imagined that you could enable "portability" by setting a redirect or a pointer, again provider-dependent.
