My WiFi is ‘Secret Rebel Base’.
My neighbours have added ‘Jabba the Hub’, ‘Obi Lan Kenobi’, and ‘Red WiFi-ve Standing By’. This makes me happy.
Anyone else live in a neighbourhood that embraces this kind of WiFi silliness?
Since OpenWRT supports special characters in wifi names, mine is (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
It fucks with older wifi chips but most modern stuff connects just fine
I joined my neighbor. Her WiFi is called “gothcave”, so I named mine “nerdcave”
Sadly in my apartment complex they seem to all use the default name given by the router (like Carrier-randomnumbers).
I have a friend who named his WiFi “Connecting…” which is diabolical
Neighbors at my old apartment had KKK as their network name. They were huge pieces of shit who knew I could hear everything through the walls, so they would have entire conversations about me with slurs every other word. They were also armed, and talked about their guns constantly (again, knowing I could hear everything). Imagine laying in bed at 3am trying to get some sleep before a 7am meeting, and having to listen to two racist assholes literally yell through the walls just to harass me and make sure I couldn’t fall asleep.
Living there was so stressful.
That’s when you mail yourself letters from “FBI sharpshooter association” or “Krav Maga instructors association”, and after receiving them post marked, drop them in their mailbox, as if it were postman error.
What the fuck is wrong with people.
I’m very sad that story didn’t have a happy ending where they were both hit by a bus or got arrested in a drug sting.
I’m glad that was your old apartment friend.
Don’t share all your WiFi SSIDs my dude. Its very common to be able to find someone’s likely location based on all the network names. Even Google and Apple use this technique instead of relying on GPS.
Come hang with me and Smith and Wesson!
What you’re describing is called Wardriving, I’ve done it and used it to track/confirm someone’s location
Be safe guys. Because of SSID location mapping services it’s possible to pinpoint the location of many people in this thread.
“shout ‘penis’ for password”
On a work trip in the mid 2010s. We were staying at a hotel located near FB/Meta HQ in Menlo Park.
Once I was in for the night, I went looking for WiFi and then I saw it:
SSID HideYoKidsHideYoWiFi
Don’t they know you can’t have kids when you have Wi-Fi - be it due to sterilization from the signals, or simply because you’re both too addicted to social media to do the deed?
