That feeling when you use a password so secure it would make Alan Turing wet the bed, but the webshite still insists on sending you a six-digit numeric code over unencrypted SMS which is literally a throwaway protocol using an unused bit of space in the comms packets... what the freaking Claude Shannon already... 😝

Huzzah, I'm online! The problem was that there is a password for the coffee shop wifi, but I couldn't discover that from ifconfig until I pulled it upon my phone and saw it was asking for a password. So, dear #FreeBSD fam, how was I supposed to know? There was no mention of WPA or WPS in the CAPS flags: rld@Intrepid:~$ ifconfig wlan0 list scan |grep -e ^SSID -e ^The.Book SSID/MESH ID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS The Book Shoppe 50:e4:e0:b7:b8:e2 6 54M -53:-96 100 EPS RSN BSSLOAD APCHANREP HTCAP WME The Book Shoppe 50:e4:e0:b7:7b:c2 11 54M -54:-96 100 EPS RSN BSSLOAD APCHANREP HTCAP WME The Book Shoppe 50:e4:e0:b7:b8:f2 36 54M -59:-96 100 EP RSN BSSLOAD APCHANREP APCHANREP APCHANREP APCHANREP HTCAP VHTCAP VHTOPMODE VHTPWRENV WME The Book Shoppe 50:e4:e0:b7:7b:d2 149 54M -57:-96 100 EP RSN BSSLOAD APCHANREP APCHANREP APCHANREP APCHANREP HTCAP VHTCAP VHTOPMODE VHTPWRENV WME I've had a hard time finding/figuring out what all of those various CAPS flags mean. :P

In 1995, my stepdad passed away in September, and my grandad passed away a month later. This August, my mom passed away, and just this morning, I get the news that my grandma is in her final days. So let's see, this year, I get to #mourn: My country My faith* My mom My grandma This year sucketh. I'm ready to curl up on the couch with my cat. Laters. * Not really in the sense that I've lost it, but in the sense that I can't figure out what the fuck the church in America actually stands for anymore, other than blatant-self interest and bullshit.
