Home Wifi Tip: Change the Channel

Shitty home WiFi? It may be because of your channel!
WiFi signals are sent out on a ‘channel’, which is basically a number the signal is broadcasted at. If two people next to each other are on the same channel, the signal gets distorted and unhappy.

You likely have two signals coming from your router: 5ghz and 2.4ghz. All new phones will be using the former, but your laptop (and budget phones) may be using the latter.

  1. Download Wifi Analyzer from the App Store/Play Store

  2. Have a look at the channel graph on 5G and 2.4G, see how many are overlapping. For example, look at this clusterfuck on 2.4 at my work: 

    Really impress your date: ‘The wifi in here has many overlapping humps, like we might be, m’ lady’

  3. Pick a spot in between your neighbors. As you can see, we have multiple points, (MWG) which are spaced out to avoid problems.
  4. Log in to your router – instructions how are normally printed on it – and change to the signal free number! This is very easy on 5ghz, the range is very large.

That’s about all there is to it. It’s so easy when you know how.

Theresa May Strikes Again

Another beautiful 23 deg Monday to spend at work. Excellent.
Tin foil hat time, look at this:

Too good to be true? It is.

I believe the Govt has fabricated these weather reports, to keep people in the UK for the bank holiday weekend. More people = more money. London is never this nice!

Will try to keep everyone updated, that is, if I don’t have an ‘accident’ after revealing this…

Friday Lunch Update

Before you ask: yes, the Spoons near our work is still closed. Couldn’t be bothered with Market today so decided to get a £4 sandwich from the infamous sandwich shop (was pretty good) and a beer from the pub across the road (was very very good)

J-Money inspecting his sandwich while Phil spectates

Stay tuned for more security tips and tricks – plus a new section – Mong of the week!

Welcome ftb, to HTTP/2!!

Previously, we were on http 1.1. The major standard. But why, when ftb.com is https everywhere, and speed is everything?

Actual footage of me turning on docker NGINX container

HTTP/2 combines multiple requests into a few single ones. I think. Either way, considering the overwhelming amount of traffic I get, your user experience on the blog should become something like this:

Pressing ‘Refresh’ in your browser

And hopefully not like this!!

Security Tip Of The Day Home

Security Tip of the Day: Home

By now, you have followed the blog, and religiously followed the tips and tricks to keep your IT bubble safe. I say religiously because Jesus, you followers are like a cult! Appreciate the support!

Something we talk less about though, is your home security. How can you up the game there? As we know, physical access to any machine is basically game over. Take a look at the Riversdale door lock:

Attempted break in at the River

Notice the crowbar marks on the door. The reprobates that attempted this break in clearly didn’t see the swag of our Banham™ lock! Even so, they didn’t get in because of one simple thing:

We lock our door.

78% of London homes aren’t locked. They just shut the door behind them, and hope that keeps it closed. Most people aren’t even aware you can lock the door after closing. If you just close it behind you, a cordless drill can go through the wood, and press the latch. Open sesame!

Keep that door locked team, especially on weekends. Give the robbers the same disappointment their mothers have for them.
