Serious question. Have you ever had a neighbor try to tap into your home wi fi connection?
Stamets@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah but I was in a real small town. There was only one house that was close enough to try and take advantage so I just knocked on the door and said “If you wanna use the wifi you’re chipping in for the internet”. Dude shrugged and said “Cheaper than getting my own”. Ended up giving me $20 a month until he moved.

that is an interesting story. I never thought stuff like that happened

I didn’t think anything of it when I moved into this apartment, but when the modem had to be replaced the ISP worker handed me the new wifi password when he was done, and I’ll be damned if it wasn’t another 8 character long hexadecimal password. I couldn’t believe it, they might as well not even have passwords. I decided i had to know if they were doing that to everyone in the complex. Luckily I also had around 30 high end videocards mining eth in the apartment. I switched a miner with 7 GPUs from mining to hashcat and had a little fun.
Please don’t use 8 digit hexadecimal passwords for wifi, or anything really. It’s like using a paperclip for a deadbolt

Once when I was jobless and staying with a friend, I put an old Linksys router on a 20 ft Ethernet cable and put it into client mode to hope onto a neighbor’s network.
They only had dial-up (this was around the time cable internet just started becoming popular) so it truly sucked, but internet is internet.

Not even a “hello”

“Luigi did nothing wrong” for the 2g,
“onlyPeachFans promo code” for 5g.

Please run them on the same SSID with the same password. I don’t want to manually switch between the two and would rather have my devices choose the spectrum intelligently.

Intelligence is an illusion.
