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. #allTheWifi #alwaysBeWardriving #wardrive @wiglenet.bsky.social

Secret cache released! Two months of my daughter’s drives including 35,000 new APs for the bands recent tour. Even jumped ahead @lozan.ing again 😎 #allTheWifi @wiglenet.bsky.social #wardrive

Not even into VCFMW yet and saw this amazing hat courtesy of @hardhat.rocks! Very awesome!

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...

Happy birthday @wiglenet.bsky.social ! 🎂 Thank you for all you do. 24 years is a long time!

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! #warBike #wardrive @wiglenet.bsky.social

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.

That’s San Francisco

“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.”

New Sunday Times profile in which I succeed, like a fencer in a 2hr marathon match, in fending off Qs abt my personal life & consistently turning focus back to my work & ideas. (Contra the interviewer's claim, many ppl do know me! They're called friends, & you know who you are ❤️) archive.is/BtZD0

Only real ones know what inserting a disk felt like 😏💾✨ New song out now: fanlink.tv/patch

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.

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.

Going to DEFCON? See my talk, "We are currently clean on OPSEC": The Signalgate Saga micahflee.com/going-to-def...
