I leave my wifi open because I like being a nice neighbor. A little QoS and a firewall for my home network, and you're free to connect.

I've always wondered if leaving your WiFi open gives you plausible deniability WRT to torrenting copyrighted material (should anyone ever come knocking).
AFAIK it's always been one of the bigger gray areas regarding pirating copyrighted material. From what I've read it's still a "we have no formal proof that people are prosecuted based on it, but we also have no proof that they aren't/can't be". Also, read https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/01/my_open_wirel... as linked below in this thread.

I think the EFF has been pushing this idea recently.
Just use unencrypted wifi but do anything that matters over a good VPN. Assume you can't trust your ISP and local network anyway. All this moaning about wifi security doesn't make sense to me.

1. Make the collar hijack any wifi devices it can and use their CPUs to mine dogecoin 2. Use earnings to create more collars, attaching them to stray dogs 3. Revel in your stray doge empire
What a beautiful cat
I am interested in building a device like this (for other purposes and not for cats), but I have no idea how to put the hardware together or where to start. I have been thingking about bycicle security a lot lately and a tiny GPS + X (gsm, wifi, etc.) might me useful. Could someone point me in the right direction? Where do I start?
I love this thing. full computer, i.e. install ubuntu and go, yet it's way smaller and more powerful than a raspberry pi. https://store.gumstix.com/index.php/products/620/ the problem you will run into is wifi eats a lot of power and makes a lot of heat

Non-Ionizing radiation means exactly that. http://www.hpa.org.uk/webw/HPAweb&Page&HPAwebAutoListName/Pa...
Non-ionizing radiation has biological effects. Magnetic fields have biological effects. This is not controversial! Many replicated experiments prove it! I am not going to say Wifi causes cancer because I don't know (doubt it). But this reflexive bleating about non-ionizing radiation needs to stop. Radio waves do not have to break DNA to affect biological tissues. They can alter many important chemical reactions.

I doubt it makes a difference. Just having some server logs and an IP isn't really sufficient proof in the first place. Just because web requests come from my IP doesn't mean that I made those requests (it could be a friend, relative, hacker). Computer forensics would be required to link the requests to a specific computer and person. Your ISP is probably still free to just ban you though.
Just sayin' ...
