  • Furthermore, how do you go about running cables in your home?

    You watch some Youtube videos about how to do it and then you follow the instructions.

    It’s going to depend a lot on the construction details of your house:

    • Do you have wooden framing (common in the US), masonry (common in Europe, as I understand it), or something else?
    • Do you have access to an attic or basement/crawlspace?
    • Do you need to run wires on exterior walls (which means dealing with insulation), or just interior ones?

    For me (wooden frame construction, accessible attic and basement), I didn’t find it to be too difficult. Is it work? Yeah, of course. But it’s not that bad, and I recommend spending the effort because having proper wall plates wtih in-wall wires is way nicer than having stuff snaking along surfaces.






  • LOL, nah, Firefox isn’t that stable. If 10% of crashes were caused by bad RAM, it means 90% were still caused by something else.

    (My install regularly gets a memory leak that eventually makes my system unusable, BTW. I don’t think it’s necessarily the fault of Firefox itself – more likely Javascript running in tabs, maybe interacting with an extension or something, and some of the blame goes to the kernel’s poor handling of low memory conditions – but it’s definitely not “dev humblebrag stable” for me.)
