Come over to my place and we can possibly be the first people ever to bond over their home wifi SSIDs ;)

I really miss the days when people put time and thought in to their SSIDs instead of using the defaults

On of my neighbors SSID used to be some bad words towards people working in IT. I think he got some bad experience with his ISP support.

There's a certain comfort, and security, from the anonymity afforded by randomly generated SSIDs.

Mine is "go fuck yourself" so whenever anyone asks what my wifi is, it results in a hilarious exchange.

And the password is either "figure it out for yourself", "check the packaging", "try 123456 backwards", or "I don't know"?

My Unifi setup has whitelisted devices. Everything else is completely crippled on the WiFi.
I’m happy for how easy it is to do this.

Google maps doesn't need to be able to connect to your wifi in order to use it for location detection. i.e. You still need to add _nomap to the ssid.

Google maps cars go around scanning WiFi SSIDs so they can map them to geolocations.
