If any Apple devices within range of my house are going to report on the nearby BSSIDs, then the obvious solution is to set up a dummy AP and program it to change its name every 10 minutes. #apple#wifi#security
CONTROVERSY! It's a little concerning. My phone keeps trying to connect to a mystery network, listed as an ISP WiFi that (to my knowledge) doesn't do business here in California. Has anyone else seen something like this? What's going on?
#TIL (or re-learnt) that the "5G" in "5G WiFi" is a short form of the 5 GHz frequency for #WiFi networks and doesn't have any connection with #5G (the mobile standard)
I few years ago, Virgin Media sent me their "Intelligent WiFi Plus Pods". They're part of a mesh network which is meant to improve WiFi coverage around your house. They were basically fine, but they are hardcoded to your Virgin Media service so can't be used for anything else. I eventually swapped to a different […]
They were basically fine, but they are hardcoded to your Virgin Media service so can't be used for anything else. I eventually swapped to a different router and they became useless. Virgin refuse to collect them (despite repeatedly promising to) so I decided to crack one open.
I was hoping there would be a reset pin or something in there - but I can't find any easy way to jailbreak them. Anyway, here are the photos.
A spludger around the edges was enough to pop off the plastic cover.
Splodges of pink gunk - which I assume is thermal paste rather than reconstituted meat - is present. Pulling the main circuit board out shows the power board.
I'm kind of annoyed by VPN ads everywhere. VPNs have some valid use cases, but many of the advertised claims are false.
You don't need a VPN to protect yourself against eavesdroppers on public WiFis. You already have HTTPS for that. This point did make sense ~10 years ago, when HTTPS was not that omnipresent and pushing users to fall back to plain HTTP was much easier, but nowadays...
That lock next to your address bar is much better than any VPN!
That time when you realize your WiFi is faster than Ethernet, but you are still stuck with Ethernet when possible because it is reliable. #linux#opensource#wifi
Fun in the morning....
My two #shelly plugs just went out - server rack and desktop.
I don't have a clue why they failed, let alone both at the same time.
The only thing that comes to mind is that there was a firmware upgrade.... #sysadmin fun for sure 😂
@jhx Gotta love absolutely #proprietary middlemen with #wifi capabilities and their own "embedded web server" directly inbetween critical #infra and the infras lifeblood :) (・・ )
Je cherche quelqu'un·e pour me remplacer sur la #regie son d'un #spectacle de rue déambulatoire en juin.
Résidence de reprise en mai.
Compétences recherchés : #linux#ardour#réseau#wifi en zone dense matos ubiquity, gestion de micros HF et de systèmes de diffusion, habitudes du théâtre avec musiques live et enregistrés.
Tout est payé et décla !
C'est cheulou mais important a notifier dans ces milieux !

Salut la mastodonie
J'ai un pb avec un téléphone sous Lineage 18.1
Quand je me connecte pour la première fois sur un hotspot public, pas de soucis, j'ai la case à cocher. Lors de ma 2e connexion (ou si je me suis éloignée et que je reviens alors que ma session est encore active) : plus de case à cocher, je me connecte sur la box mais pas d'internet.
Avec vous un truc pour résoudre ça ? Oublier le hotspot puis recommencer ne résout rien.
I need to set up Wi-Fi in a small business, but not allow any streaming services. Ideally, with the ability to turn off guest Wi-Fi after hours so the residential units don't use it all evening.
The router that comes with the Internet service sucks, as they all do.
Argh. It looks like my Amplifi Mesh is dying. I’m disappointed with this outcome even if I’ve generally liked the product. What are you using these days? I can’t believe the price point between WiFi 6 ($300) and WiFi 7 ($2000) is worth it. #wifi#mesh
Hello tech folks! This is perhaps a bit of an edge case for a residential setup, and maybe more along some commercial ones, but I am moving to a cabin in the woods. In these woods, there's a meadow of a few acres in which our cabin, a separate building that will be my wife's office, and a greenhouse are located. Due to the national forest networking, we have fantastic, symmetrical fiber optic internet service.
The "office" building is about 85 feet from the main cabin, just slightly above it, elevation wise. The greenhouse is about 125 feet away, and up maybe 40 feet in elevation.
I've twisted myself in knots trying to decide what outdoor unit to deploy at the main cabin. We already have a pole that currently has an old antenna, with coax coming off, doing nothing. I don't think it ever did anything down at the bottom of the valley it's in. I think that was a wishful thinking deployment by someone back in the day.
My thought, as a noob here, was something like a Ubiquiti U6 mesh with indoor APs in the indoor spaces. I'm running a Firewalla as a router, and would like to set up some VLANs.
Am I way off here thinking that a residential-type solution will work for me here? I just don't have the real world experience here to know if I'm researching the right path or not.
@BE the pole will definitely help squeeze out every last bit of range. I tend to overspec range, too, though it doesn't seem they've got a wifi 6 version of their max range outdoor AP.
