Ah the humble service set identifier! It seems to have grown from a simple way for access points to identify themselves to potential clients to a little public bulletin board for airing one's grievances toward noisy neighbors or showcasing one's wit.

What notable SSIDs have you run into out in the wild or created yourself?

Alot of networks around here, the fbi van pops up from time to time, and then 15 generic modem routers and in the middle of that list is "one of many".

Mine is Bathroom Camera #4

I live in a barrio and not sure how many people in my building can either speak or read English

[-] early_riser@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I feel like that's asking for trouble. You can explain away "FBI surveillance van" because an ounce of common sense will tell you a government agency isn't likely to be so sloppy. But I could see a creepy Airbnb host who's just smart enough to be dangerous doing exactly this.

I used to live near someone who had "Mum use this one", so in OpenWRT I set up several networks with the names:

"Mum use THIS one!" "Mum Use This One" "MUM USE THIS ONE" "Mum use this one (real)" etc, etc

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I knew someone who used Unicode glyphs to name their wifi the following string: ┓┏ 凵 =╱⊿┌┬┐

It was a reference to a Doctor Who episode in which people were getting zapped by the monster of the week after connecting to a mysterious alien wifi network.

[-] invertedspear@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

I did that for my mobile hotspot. No one got it :(

[-] reksas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago
