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?

    Once, in vacation, I found a WiFi named “Bob Marley”. I don’t know anything about Bob Marley, I hate reggae so I’m not interested but I know “No woman no cry” because we learned it at school. So here I was typing “nowomannocry” as password and guess what, I was logged in. 😂

    So it is not the SSID in itself which was fun but I figured it was not too unrelated to your question. 😅

    For the longest time I had “FBI Van” and “NSA Van” for my 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands respectively. 0 cool stories with that scheme, until I changed the 5ghz one to “Ganon’s Tower” and a neighbor eventually joined me and named his wifi “Hyrule Castle”. We kept that for a few years until the neighbor moved, I believe

    Mine is “We don’t have WiFi”, so when guests ask what ours is called, I tell them then get to watch their face go through five different stages as they look around at all my tech…

    Then my wife gets to explain to people what the joke is while I giggle like a 5 year old being tickled.

        Congratulations on being one of today’s lucky 10,000

        TERF - Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist

        A name that some bigots have given themselves to appear presentable, because they’re saying they’re “protecting women” from a minority group that makes up less than 1% of the population (Trans People.) They’re basically a bigoted hate group, and/or a cult.

        JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, famously is one of them, and funnels a lot of her money into that hate group. Dobby is one of her characters.
