We have a pitched roof but there are trusses, and I am not built like a hobbit if I need to replace the cable.

> very expensive 10g For me it's just 2€ more expensive than the standard 1g plan. It's really unfortunate to see how bad internet prices are, especially in the US and other countries with ISP monopolies. The only reason my internet is so relatively cheap is because early on there was a lot of competition in my country.
Can you say what country?

Can't tell if serious or not so bravo. On the assumption you are, just climb in the loft and drag the cable over, it's not that bad, I've been in and out of lofts since my early teens doing house re-wires with my father and never put my foot through a ceiling.
Same. I spent a good amount of time in our house the first fall setting up PoE cameras, which involved much time crawling around the attic. Hell of a workout and can be unpleasant but extremely doable.
Some of the old insulation will make you itchy as hell and probably not something you want to breathe but otherwise yeah, it's just a chore its not difficult assuming you are able bodied (I'm UK so our houses (until recently) had heavy duty joists so you can just clamber around on them, if gonna me up a while take a board up and lay it over a few to kneel/lay on and that's about it.
This is a comment for folks in homes with coax run for cable TV. Ethernet is great. I wired ethernet to most rooms in our remodel and set up wired access points or jacks in the office to connect directly to my computer. The speeds and consistency over wifi and mesh were remarkable. Especially consistency. We moved, and it's not feasible to run ethernet everywhere in our current home. However, whoever built the home r…
I thought ethernet was more of the wire protocol than the cable. I could have sworn that the "ethernet" cables when I first started working were coax, and the article talks about the first ethernet being on coax. Seems like ethernet in modern usage is synonymous with CAT5.
Intel needs to stop gouging customers for 10GBe NIC cards because they've got all the patents on the technology. Greed is _so_ ugly.

Deterministicly?
Sure. The only reason image generators aren't deterministic is that you inject randomness. Set the same random seed, get the same image. Download Stable Diffusion XL and run it locally and try it. There are models that can be run in both directions. Take a source image and generate a token stream prompt for it. That's your compressed image. Now run it forward to decompress. CPU intensive but massive compression ratio…

I do this too and it is terrific, literally indistinguishable from ethernet. What’s amazing is you can run cable and MoCa on the same wire at the same time!
How does this work with both? Is there a defined band plan standard that cable operators know to avoid? Do you need to install a notch filter on the line coming into the house?

Ah yes, "Thick Ethernet" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10BASE5 and "Thin Ethernet" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10BASE2 Ten whole megabits to share between up to 30 computers, on a single multidrop bus.

Anybody else remember "vampire connections"?
[Ah, a minute late. FFP999 remembers them.]
The one thing I would really like for ethernet is a smaller connector. But one that is still able to handle self-made cables. So something like just throwing a Type-C connector at it probably isn't going to work.
USB-C would certainly work, you just need the right (wire) mounting device behind the plug. It's unlikely to be very slim though.
