@ -86,3 +86,20 @@ do support `_nomap`/`_optout`:
if it looks very messy to me and I haven't even took any anxiety medicines
last night or today so my head should be working a lot better than it
currently does.*

2019-01-17: I don't know how to start updating this post, but I would
like to add a few things ~three years later:
* There is no need for the `_optout` part since 2016, see e.g. [KrebsonSecurity](https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/05/microsoft-disables-wi-fi-sense-on-windows-10/).
* Christian Haschek's blog showed me that people are actually doing checking
WLAN locations from WiGLE and it's not only my mental health or anxiety
more than three years ago.
* [The curious case of the Raspberry Pi in the network closet](https://blog.haschek.at/2018/the-curious-case-of-the-RasPi-in-our-network.html)
* I nowadays represent 5 GHz networks as `SSID_fast_nomap`, because fast
is more obvious to not technical people wondering which one to pick
compared to the number, but in public places I drop the `_nomap` as SSID
works as a free advertisement.
* I think I copied this idea from someone at IRC, but I have forgotten
whom and it's possible they wouldn't even wish to be attributed.
