  • I don’t know for you but, by default, all our ISP box here broadcast an “open” SSID that allows any customers of this ISP to login with their ISP credentials on the ISP box around them (except if the customers switch off this function). That allow a customer with a dead box or in travel to still have internet. (traffic is of course segregated).

    So if you know the ISP brand via the IP range and find a isolated home with this provider ssid visible, you found the address of the IP. Again that work only with low number of houses or not often use ISP.

    Connect for me is not connected like a logon but more in term of network connection (pinged).


  • Depends of where you lives. if you have only 1 house per km² around you and your isp box provide predictable SSID name, you could be easily found as the ip range is per provider.

    Google street cars capture also the wifi network around them when taking street photos.

    And getting your ip can connect the people directly to your box. A trace route command to this IP could return intermediate equipment of your isp, helping to pinpoint your town or even your street.





  • In cliché world yeah… But in reality, not so much. 😀

    It been years… no… decades that smoking have nearly disappeared around me - including in the office.

    I work with hundreds of people and the amount of people smoking can fit one hand. 25 years ago, i needed more than 2 hands to count them. And in my family, nobody starting at my parents generation and younger smokes.

    Same story with wine during lunch. 25 years ago, it was several bottles each day at lunches.

    Today, no more wine bottle and the trend started since easily 15 years now. Only for big occasion and the quantity have decreased a lot.

    People drink more beers now. But far less than wine.
