I always wonder if I’m introducing bad latency by running a 100 ft ethernet cable.

Then I remind myself it’s the speed of light.

When I was 15, my dad purchased me a plaster saw (still have it) and handed me his drill.

Then told me to make it look neat, but “don’t fuck up because your mother will kill us both”.

I ran about 4 network points through the house.

Nothing like fear to produce a 100% perfect finish 😉

And then there’s me who just screwed up installing a new door knob. I stripped the threads on the screws cause I used the wrong size screws drilling. Now if the new knob fails in the future, I need to buy a new door lmao

If it’s a wooden door that you’re screwing into, dab some match sticks with a little bit of liquid nails and gently hammer them into the stripped-out screw hole, and cut them flush with the hole. Once the glue dries, you can drive the screw back into the matches and it’ll have enough wood to bite into.

I’m tempted to do this, do you have any tips?

If you can, re-use existing sockets! Old telephone or antenna lines can work! You tie the cable to the end of the old cable and pull it through the existing PVC pipe.

Join forces and do link aggregation for double the speeds.

Go ahead and pull em in the wall! Don’t be scared. Worst case the world is ending anyways

Well that's reassuring

I had to buy carpets to hide the cable under them when running across the floor. Only exposed parts go through the doorways, and the wife complains about them. Well, I am not complaining about our craptastic wifi anymore.

If you own your house you could learn to pull cable and how to do punchdowns. It’s not a super difficult job. That way you could impress the lady of the house with your technical skills while also hiding the mess.
