I am currently broadcasting "5G_COVID_TEST_EMITTER" for the lulz. It is on a separate VLAN which simply terminates at the switch which generates the PoE for the AP, so despite it being open without a password, it generates no uplink

I've been using "Wu-Tang LAN" and "It hurts when IP" ever since I copied them from someone somewhere.

I haven't because everyone thinks they're comedian and uses the same ones

It's always either a wife joke,
Something about "LAN of the free",
Covid broadcast tower / super secret FBI van,
Or freepublicWi-Fione

My WiFi is McDonalds-guest just to mess with people. I live in the suburbs so there's no McDonald's around here.
