it seems so? they also told us our "company" wouldn't be around much longer once they published the screenshots of our emails and lack of response to their IRC messages, which... sure, maybe, but hey it's been a good 24 year run!

them: "I'm going to ruin WiGLE.net because of the terrible customer service I got"

us: "Sir, this isn't even an Arby's, it's a hobby project and a community, and you're very much not welcome."

Who broke the 7,000,000 mark at #9 on the big board?

Of course it’s @dustinfinn.bsky.social

Impressive all around.

Just “unique observations”

If you’re the sort of person who routinely uploads the same data, this number will be low vs total (and we ignore duplicate observations)

Secret cache released! Two months of my daughter’s drives including 35,000 new APs for the bands recent tour.

Sorry, we don’t have a demo key at this time, but we’ll consider it for a future feature!

Just because CSS don't appear to be used to spy on protests in the US right now doesn't mean that is true everywhere. We are interested in getting Rayhunter data from every country to help us understand the global use of CSS and to refine our signatures. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Yup, DDoS is back.

Oh man, one more year and there’s been a quarter-century of WiGLE.

Thank you for all you do. 24 years is a long time!

When the government can see everything: How one company – Palantir – is mapping the nation’s data Government agencies are contracting with Palantir to correlate disparate pieces of data, promising efficiency but raising civil liberties concerns.

What keeps me up at night 🌉

Will ascend tall volcanos for #allTheWifi and ride down them on a bicycle!

5G coverage is darn good on the road to and from Haleakalā. WiFi, a bit spotty. Helmet, a bit warm… Brakes, totally solid!

Screenshot of a Mastodon thread. Someone says: "@mjg59 "Secure" (restricted) boot = Your computer will only boot things microsoft decided to, And you can't modify them." I reply: "? This is demonstrably not true" They reply "Are you sure?" and link to the Secure Boot subsection of the Wikipedia article on UEFI I reply: "You might want to compare my name to the name associated with the citations there"

It finally happened to me

our ostensible harvesters continue to think they're getting something? at some point we should move to limit the hosting costs, but they're just so damn sad.

literally look at it on a map, kids.

Politely, that’s not Paris pictured.

That’s San Francisco

LAPD Eyes ‘GeoSpy’, an AI Tool That Can Geolocate Photos in Seconds Emails obtained by 404 Media show the LAPD was interested in GeoSpy, an AI tool that can quickly figure out where a photo was taken.

“GeoSpy has proven to not be very accurate in my experience & this tool could lead to false accusations and further harassment of innocent people,” EFF’s @cooperq.com warned @404media.co. “It’s also a powerful tool for stalking or other misuse by police.”

“Hey AI: write me a python script to get all the data in WiGLE”

If you vibe-code an API integration with WiGLE, please at least read the API docs and compare them to what you're sending.

api.wigle.net/swagger

spamming the API with invalid requests is a great way to get banned.

We often wonder: do kneecaps get broken when someone finds out? Inexplicable defenestrations?

Every <n> months where <n> varies between 9 and 20, someone gets a bright idea to violate the EULA and try to bulk harvest WiGLE data. It never works out for them.

we don't sell them, but we hand them out at conferences and events! drop us a line at the admin email for deets!
