  1. The “Unique WiFI Networks in DB” counter on @WiGLEnet is gonna roll 2 BILLION tomorrow.

  3. Sometimes ponder if running the @m5stack #m5atom wardriver is worth it, such a tiny device, teeny built-in antenna, sub-optimal placement in each car.

    Then you upload a months worth of data from two cars other people drive and bingo, another 1,000 APs you’d have never seen.

    #allTheWifi a dozen at a time counts!

  7. This is HI-TECH stuff kids, come prepared!

    Paper map tracker for #wwwd, a color per run.

    Didn’t make a full east-west/north-south gridding but happy with results!

  9. The #wwwd 2026 is over. 24 of 84 on the Leader Board, 74k APs seen. Two foxes of who knows how many assigned to me…

    All I know is that I am ahead of #elkentaro (legend!) on the big board now (#48, 2.8 million APs), the rest is gravy 😎

  13. Found out I actually have TWO Crème Brûlée #stout in the fridge.

    This one from #Kuhnhennbrewery isn’t great - Sweet yet bitter, the toffee main note is burnt, blotting out the richness of the coffee. Burned it…

    Saving the other for another day.

  15. A couple #wwwd #wardrive beers. SAFELY consumed afterwards!

    #alesmith Pace Car into coffee #stout (how appropriate!)

    Last can - gave it a shake to stir the nitro and that helped the first half - creamy and coffee. As it sat it thinned out, second half mostly just coffee.

  17. Reasonable gearing for #wwwd #allTheWifi @WiGLEnet

    Oh yeah, there’s another original JHewitt with dual external antennas in the trunk and an #M5Atom on the dash.

  21. The #m5stack AtomGPS is such a tiny and only moderately capable #wardrive device. Why bother?

    Because if you #alwaysBeWardriving by leaving one in each car, you will find #allTheWifi !

    Kudos to @lukeswitzer and @lozaning for the code

  27. Night capping this #perennialArtisanAles Abraxas Coffee 2025

    A bit of #wardrive and #theater in Northeast. Then day 2 on this big coffee and chocolate and cinnamon and chili banger. Awesome brew!

  29. Looked away from the @WiGLEnet 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.

  31. Noticed a few interesting @WiGLEnet 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

    Damn impressive!
    Mildly annoying as I’m #993 in the trilat queue again…

    But hella fine work one way or another!

  39. It is COLD out there. Drove through Cedar Riverside to 4 Corners for #theatreInTheRound and thankfully all is quiet.

    Left two #wardrive rigs running in the car in the parking ramp, flat-lined both batteries in less than 3 hours due to the temperatures! Captured only some of the #allTheWifi

  40. Another year of #wardrive action with @WiGLEnet

    2025 #allTheWifi #alwaysBeWardriving

    - Big Board #50
    - Two new Phones
    - Contributed code to @jhewitt
    - APs w/GPS increased by 514,794
    - BlueTooth w/GPS up nearly 5M
    - Cell w/GPS up by 3K

    APs with GPS: 2,559,586
    APs observed: 6,586,182
    BT with GPS: 13,007,765
    BT observed: 14,310,472

    Stumbling for the past 7,867 days! 21 1/2 years (6/18/2004 - 12/31/2025)

  41. Man, one of THOSE days. Working on what I thought was a code issue when in reality I had neglected to keep in mind that ESP32 basic units only support 2.4GHz APs!

    What can’t I connect to my other hotspot? Because it’s 5GHz, dummy!

    Change the iPhone personal hotspot config to “Maximize Compatibility” (2.4GHz only) and magic happens!
