Numerous times in the last weeks or months even.
“Sovereignty comes with responsibilities…” or whatever those dumbfuck politicians complaining about the smoke are saying is just another way to word the same “51st state” bullshit. I have never, in this entire Trump presidency, been as pissed off at US politicians as I have been this week - ESPECIALLY that I personally know more than a couple firefighters, including a couple who have gone down to the US to help with their out of control wild fires when they were unable to deal with them themselves.












This looks WILDLY similar to my old setup! If you’ve got really old RG59 in there, it’s going to suck - horrible jitter, and sub-1gig for sure, and obviously the longer the run the worse it gets.
If you throw 2.5 Gbps adapters on to a nice clean piece of new RG6 though, especially point to point (but then you’d lose this boost), it is not terrible.
In the end it was just a stopgap, I think I used it for about 5 years and then the first time I was having work done and had some parts of the walls open I got my guy to run fibre everywhere he could, and cat8 everywhere else. I do still use one of the RG59 links, just joined at that panel, to do a point to point from an upstairs bedroom, down through the basement and back up to the living room, just carrying super low volume corosync traffic for one of my lab clusters - but all the rest is migrated off now and is a way less frustrating connection now.
I may reuse one of the good RG6 through cinderblock pieces to do RS485 between my ERV and my Home Assistant Yellow at some point in the future, but for the most part the coax is now abandoned (and we flipped the house to fibre internet years ago too.)
