We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Powerline is the last resort in Networking.
Cable > WiFi > Powerline.
In some cases it works (new cables and within 1 circiut) but usually its more headache than anything else.
But dont worrys we all did shit and wonder why it didnt work.
Just be glad you were not called to a datacenter and started tracing all fibers just to realize that a single stupid uplink is 1 gbit instead of 40 gbit
I'm going to disagree with you there, it's completely situationally dependent. I tried running a wifi point-to-point link from my house to my detached garage, ran like hot garbage. Replaced the link with powerline, was much more stable and faster.
Right tool for the right job. Well really the right tool is to bury something (preferably fiber) between the buildings, but I'm not made out of money and the power line was already buried!
