I am currently broadcasting "5G_COVID_TEST_EMITTER" for the lulz. It is on a separate VLAN which simply terminates at the switch which generates the PoE for the AP, so despite it being open without a password, it generates no uplink

[–] Luminaama@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 year ago

I've been using "Wu-Tang LAN" and "It hurts when IP" ever since I copied them from someone somewhere.

[–] ELLIOTTCABLE@beehaw.org 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

β€œPretty fly, for a wi-fi.”

I guess I haven’t seen that many, but there aren’t any comments yet, so I win by default!

[–] Luvon@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

In real life? My mate's wifi is called "Error 503 Service Unavailable".

I was staying at a hotel once, and there was a network in range called "YouNeedSecurityBadly"

I haven't because everyone thinks they're comedian and uses the same ones

It's always either a wife joke,
Something about "LAN of the free",
Covid broadcast tower / super secret FBI van,
Or freepublicWi-Fione

My WiFi is McDonalds-guest just to mess with people. I live in the suburbs so there's no McDonald's around here.
