can you pull ethernet cable along power cables, wherever they are?

regular ethernet should work on this kind of distance, but it means digging

and only feels cool and useful when you’re learning to write

Mate do i have just the right thing for you, but it requires some soldering. It’s also probably cheapest solution working over longer range than you need

First you need two directional antennas. Use this https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/cup.html the 13cm design specifically. Design of the dipole element is on another page https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/sbfa.html They’re using hard to get semirigid coax but you can really just use common RG178 with braid tinned to make it stiff. This way you don’t have to leave D section they way they did, you can just solder core to the shield at the end while preserving total length (or ~1-2 mm less, because wifi is slightly higher frequency; 53-52 mm total). That dummy cable thing can be just any stiff piece of wire. Good way to get this would be getting a pack of u.fl-SMA pigtails, which you can also use for connection.

You also don’t need special aluminum housing like they do, cookie tin of the right size would be sufficient, or any other container of similar nature. If you can’t weatherproof it, putting it inside on windowsill is also fine

Then, plug TL-WN722N into it, or some other single-antenna thing, and you’re set. This one connects over USB and has removable RPSMA antenna, so you can connect it easily with correct cable (SMA plug - RPSMA plug)

to your new directional antenna. This thing works well over 200m distance, provided clear line of sight, and probably more than that

here if you need anything over certain power (6kW; depends on country i guess) you need a three phase installation, and even if you get single phase, it’s really handled as three phase split between single phase customers (a block gets three phase supply, then splits flats in three groups, each group gets connected to one phase). this gets supplied by a distribution transformer that might serve somewhere around 200 people per (in residential areas)

i understand that sometimes americans also get distribution like this, with 208/120 three phase coming from substation, without 240v available

american version would probably only have two phases at best, and possibly just one

wait, how do you route cables in there? is there just a massive bundle right through the middle?

i think you need to be a little bit more specific unless sounding a little like an unhinged cleric from memritv is what you’re going for

but yeah nah i don’t think it’s gonna last this way, people want to go back to just doing their jobs like it used to be, and i think it may be that bubble burst wipes out companies that subsidized and provided cheap genai, so that promptfondlers hammering image generators won’t be as much of a problem. propaganda use and scams will remain i guess

ye except that depending on how paranoid are you this also means that all personal/small instances will be always suspicious and most of popular instances allow lots of that by default

previous stubsack https://awful.systems/comment/9235549 i don’t think too hard about it, because to a degree all pr people are professional liars in the first place, but bluesky didn’t like it

in terms of zitron fallout, there used to be a comment section at his blog, it’s not there anymore

how do you want to get butlerian jihad without kessler syndrome?

fyi over the last couple of days firefox added perplexity as search engine, must have been as an update

and don’t even get me started on splice variants

Absolutely none, and it’s by design. All you need to do is setup an instance and everything you might need gets right into database

He said that Common Crawl is “making an earnest effort” to remove content but that the file format in which Common Crawl stores its archives is meant “to be immutable. You can’t delete anything from it.”

makes me wonder if it’s some crypto hangover

In 2023, he sent a letter urging the U.S. Copyright Office not “to hinder the development of intelligent machines” and included two illustrations of robots reading books.

cheerleaders for creepiest weirdos in sv try to deflect criticism by becoming impossible to parody

sv does have for some time a peculiar understanding of this and also some other terms, like “consent”, “ownership”, “privacy”, “safety”,
