Can't see the original post, but that is our policy!
why would we choose fewer than ALL the necessary ingredients for a good time??
Another year, and another secret ruling from the FISA court showing the FBI is violating Americans' privacy via NSA surveillance.

No matter how often we post these, we still have days like today:
- If you're going to instruct a whole classroom to register at once, contact us beforehand.
- If you don't like new-account limits, registering more accounts isn't going to go well for you.
- WiGLE is a community, we ban jerks.
as always, feedback and bug reports welcome!

EFF's Cindy Cohn sat down to talk to Jon Stewart on the Daily Show about 30 years of fighting for digital privacy. I think that's pretty cool. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkC1...

Hey, #Portland #PDX! Before you go see EFF’s Cindy Cohn at @powells.bsky.social at 7pmPT tonight, listen to her interview on KBOO’s Genius Box about “Privacy’s Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance.”
People keep sending more! No idea why!
The Wigle.net statistics page shows a new milestone - more than 8 million files parsed!
Looked away from the @wiglenet.bsky.social stats for a minute and the total files parsed count jumped from 7,999,909 to 8,000,156!
That’s a LOT of files. I appear to have contributed some 20,000 of them since 2004.

Probably residential proxies burning that IP - the current level of abuse is crazy. That address will recover in time. If the issue doesn’t exist on other (non-same-area tmo) IPs, it’s not an app issue.
The Wigle.net Statstics chart shows many interesting values, including 5+ Billion unique Bluetooth devices and closing fast on 8 million files parsed.
Noticed a few interesting @wiglenet.bsky.social stats:
- just crossed the 5 Billion unique Bluetooth device count. I know that number is a bit sus, but yowza!
- closing fast on 8 million files parsed. That’s #allTheWifi but more keeps showing up

WiFi-Shuriken v0 PCB top side. There are 3 Xiao ESP32-C5 boards, an SD socket, a Xiao RP2350, and an LC86L GNSS module.
Bottom of the WiFi-Shuriken v0 board. There are 3 Xiao ESP32-C5 boards, a 74LS595 shift register, a battery clip, and a cutout in the PCB to solder to the back of the RP2350 on the top side.
Got my new WiFi-Shuriken boards delivered and assembled today. They have 6x @seeedstudio.com Xiao ESP32-C5 boards and a Xiao RP2350. This thing is a scanning beast! Can scan both 2.4 and 5GHz bands in under 2 seconds.
I still loathe that Elon fucked up one of my favourite words; grok.
It took me a couple decades to separate it from the fucker who coined it too.
It's a grand word. a perfect word. It filled a necessary void - and now it's been stolen. boo.

Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.
