   @catsalad kinda makes me wonder if you could make a real one with a really small micro  @livinginsyn @catsalad you’d need PoE to get enough power to transmit, but it should be possible.   @topher Not this picture, but I have indeed made this exact "device". 🛜  @typositoire @catsalad Someone's also about to find out what happens when you run 220 through a device meant for 110 😬.   What kind of crazy perversion of a wall plug is that thing on the wall?!? Do those actually exist in reality? . In the US-style, with two flats and a round, it's important that both the round one and the flat one on the "left" be ground! @aiefel My brain hurt... For a second I was like, this is just an extension cord then I saw it had 2 male ends 😬 @typositoire @aiefel people make them to easily connect their generator to their house. Apart from the obvious shock hazard, the real problem is it bypasses their circuit breaker, so the generator's full 30+ amps can go through house wiring rated for < 15 amps. Fire ensues during a blackout. @housepanther No, but given a small enough wifi module, it's very possible. @catsalad Oh it is. I have a teeny USB one that works gangbusters. But I wired my house.   @catsalad If you make the thing plugged in a DHCP server then they actually hate that simple trick  @catsalad how do you find which card talks to which switch port if you're not labeling your antennas?? @catsalad@infosec.exchange does this use Wi-Fi or is it speaking a special runic language  @catsalad@infosec.exchange Your right. I hate this. Noah, get the boat, we're starting over.     @catsalad You're a genius! You've brilliantly solved all the issues related to Wifi drivers on Linux and BSD!     @catsalad@infosec.exchange Could you PLEASE repair the clip on the Ethernet plug? I hate it when my Ethernet falls out.  @catsalad broadcast and RF engineers will hate it even more; if that is connected in any way it will just create RFI for a good few metres around... @catsalad omg. plug that in and wait for a coworker to find it looool  @catsalad I kind of want to build a PoE wireless network bridge inside a package like that just to fuck with people.  |
@catsalad Real ones... so nasty...
