  • The critical thing you’re going to want to keep in mind for ethernet wiring is getting everything wired back to a central location is key, and spending the extra time and effort to do home runs instead of having multiple junctions can save you a lot of headaches down the line. That being said, you can run more than line at the same time.

    For where to start, deciding where you’re pathing to and how you’re getting there is what you want to focus on. If there’s no existing ethernet, what about existing fiber coming into? Or is there a central block where all the RG59/6 terminates? Even just a nice shelf near the furnace can be fine if the furnace doesn’t cook the room its in. Is there a crawlspace or attic where you can run all the wiring through?

    Getting answers to those questions are where I would start. I would suggest though that retrofitting ethernet wiring is a project that you might be better off waiting on until you’re also doing other work in the space(s), and you can get away with a lot just using low profile cables and tacking them around doorframes apartment-style in the short to medium term until you’re ready to do it all at once and/or need to do related work (like if part of the building’s power lines need to be replaced or you decide to get new flooring or whatever).

    EDIT: Well, my notifications went rogue and said this was a new thread lol. Leaving the above anyway.











  • Lol, I think we might be closer than you think. Lemmy and reddit are both basically unusable in web form on mobile, but Ernest took the time to make the layout of kbin in such a way that it compresses down to a PWA/Mobile layout without becoming a complete clusterfuck, something the mbin maintainers have maintained support for and I think is one of the key distinguishing features of the platform. The way it works feels very similar to the old RIF layout, and as such was everything I wanted from a reddit replacement from day one :)
