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?

I came up with: WI FI INdER NET ROOTE eRWÄLAN While I couldn’t sleep on night. It only makes sense in German. I don’t use it though cause I’m not sure if it’s racist.
The only network I can see is my own. But as soon as the bears get wifi we’ll engage in some goofy hilariousness!
“This wifi is too fast.”
My wifi name has been “Not yours” for 12 years
I used to have ‘FBI Van 21’ back in the 2010s but haven’t really cared in recent years
I’m in IT and use my hotspot as an internet umbrella for troubleshooting - my hotspot name is “FBI Surveillance Van”. (I also carry a usb-c to eth adapter for those stubborn hardline devices)
Be safe guys. Because of SSID location mapping services it’s possible to pinpoint the location of many people in this thread.

Because of SSID location mapping
People really out there mapping SSID’s? I fail to understand how that data is at all valuable, changing an SSID takes seconds and a gram of brain power.
Oh thats easy, android uses ( or at least used it in the past ) these services for location.
Android will first try gps to get your location. However, gps needs direct connection to a satellite and can easily be either turned off or not working correctly.
It then tries to triangulate your location using cell towers and their location, which gives a rough estimate on your location.
Then it scans SSID’s that are near to hone down some more on your location, and its this step that needs that data.a gram of brain power.
How much is that shit? You can snort it, right?
A lot of the SSIDs in this thread have been used multiple times in different locations. But you raise a valid point.
I just fed a bunch of them I expected to be unique through a skyhook provider, all but one so far had at least dozens.
I once had a wifi that had as many character as as I could fit from this sequence of long digits that Data reads out as Picard but I goofed. Someone else changed their wifi to “The 3 is supposed to be a C”

Yeah, there are always some. I use a “hidden” network and don’t broadcast my SSID so I keep it simple and easy to enter in on any device. Had a neighbor in the past who was nice enough and I let him use my wifi but then I turned into his tech support, fuck that. If the neighbors don’t see my broadcasting they won’t ask. Besides I keep as much as I can hardwired, it’s just better.
“shout ‘penis’ for password”
I always do!
My SO’s wifi is called “Connection not possible”
A friend of mine used to name his infected with viruses
I thought “eduroam” was a pretty funny name
I have a boring Wifi name and everyone around too, but this reminds me that I was once sitting on the train and was watching a video with bluetooth headphones in and texting with my friends and some jerk constantly tried to connect to my phone via bluetooth. A pop up window constantly asked me if I wanted to connect to this other guy’s phone and since I was texting I came close to misclicking on ‘yes’ more than once. Then I renamed my phone to FuckOff and he got the message, since then all my phones are called FuckOff.
