That dial-up screech is burned into my brain forever. My mom had a second line just for the internet and still got mad when I tied it up past ten. 56k meant a single thread page took forever, so I'd open like ten tabs and read them one by one while the connection chugged. Wild that we went from that to typing replies on a phone in a coffee line.

Running the hose through a carabiner is smart but you might be trading one problem for another. That D-ring clip point becomes a hard bend in the umbilical right where it flexes the most, and over time the outer jacket will wear through at that spot. I've seen it happen on comm lines that were zip tied tight. Better to use a loose loop of bungee or a length of surgical tubing so the hose can still slide a little when you turn. Keeps it close to your body without pinching it against a fixed point.
