Ask Lemmy

Neighbors at my old apartment had KKK as their network name. They were huge pieces of shit who knew I could hear everything through the walls, so they would have entire conversations about me with slurs every other word. They were also armed, and talked about their guns constantly (again, knowing I could hear everything). Imagine laying in bed at 3am trying to get some sleep before a 7am meeting, and having to listen to two racist assholes literally yell through the walls just to harass me and make sure I couldn’t fall asleep.

Living there was so stressful.

Thats actually cool. My neighbours have incredibly boring names, default names like tp-link and netgear... Zzz.

"shout 'penis' for password"

My phone hotspot is "Starbucks Free Wi-Fi" passworded of course.

My home is "Router? I hardly know her!"

A great password to use is "thepasswordtowhat".

Friend: Hey whats your wifi password?

Me: thepasswordtowhat

Friend: Your wifi

Me: What about it?

Friend: WHATS THE PASSWORD?

Me: thepasswordtowhat

Friend: Frustrated noises.

My network is named "Hot Signals In Your Area". It used to be "Routers of the Lost Ark". My guest network is "Guesty McGuestface"

Unfortunately, no one else in my building has anything creative.

I've seen "Leader Desslock", "NSA_Hotspot", "Wicked Evil Jowls". In college someone in my dorm named their's "Business Isn't a Real Major"

I wish to name it in a funny way. But there is a ton of devices that I have connected over the wifi and I dont have enough willpower to reconnect them all once I change the name.

I had a bunch of Trek Nerds living near me it seems:

Enterprise-D

Borg Cube

Deep Space Nine

Federation Satelite or something

It was wild

Not Spying On You

Covert NSA Surveillance

Skynet Mobile Operations

We Didn't Start the Firewall

Wu Tang LAN

Pretty Fly for a WiFi

Pretty Fly for a Wi5

I went with it_hertz_when_IP but have yet to see anyone with similar naming...

Opening up wifi list at every DefCon I've been to:

"Never gonna give you up"

"Never gonna say goodbye "

"Never gonna run around "

"And desert you"

Mine is: ITHertzWhenIP

One of my friend's neighbors named their wifi "is this the Krusty Krab?"

Of course he named his, "no, this is Patrick"

I joined my neighbor. Her WiFi is called "gothcave", so I named mine "nerdcave"

Abraham Linksys

John Wilkes Bluetooth

Router? I hardly know her!

I've been using "Riri Wifi et Loulou" for more than a decade. It's a pun on the french names of Huey, Dewey and Louie (it's supposed to be Riri Fifi et Loulou).

RCMP Surveillance Moose #1812 here

Next door used to use “Kevin’s Porn”. We’re still “Porn For Kevin” lol

It’s not super creative but I named my mom’s network “The Internet” so when she asks for help with getting online I can ask if she’s tried connecting to The Internet.

Ive seen "FBI Surveillance Van" a few times.
