My 2021 New Year's Resolutions

 In 2019, I made my New Year's Resolution to not drink in 2020. I had no idea what 2020 had in store, and I made it until RBG died, September 18th 2020, before I drank again. Even after, I hadn't had more than a few drinks at a time since. I still plan on not drinking or getting drunk, but it inspired me to make a ton of New Year's Resolutions for 2021.

Resolutions

I'm not sure if I'll make any of these come true, but if I could have some success on the last resolution, maybe I can be successful with a few more. I'm not comfortable sharing every goal, but there are a few that I think maybe fun to reflect on later! Two traditional goals, and two wardriving goals! 

1) Meatless Mondays
2) No Candy Wednesdays
3) Submit to Wigle every month
4) ....and the Grand Finale: Make an optimized trip half-way across the country in my truck!

The first two goals are based on my consumption. I eat way too much candy and I don't have to explain why that's bad - and I should probably go see the dentist. Reducing my metal consumption largely due to the fact that reducing meat consumption is a key part of reducing climate change. Also, it's 2021 and money is getting tight so it'll hopefully have a beneficial monetary impact as well. I feel equally attached to meat and candy, and these foods are big vices for me. 

Wardriving

Wigle has stats that are based on your overall monthly contribution and overall contribution. While it's not just important to Wigle each month for my stats, it's also important for the WiGLE team I am on. The WiGLE group stats page states this month and last month's stats too. You can check my current WiGLE stats in the sidebar of my site! This site - dnsprincess.com, hehe. Check it out below:

Thus, the main reason I made this goal is to contribute to my group stats. Last month (December 2020) I made a serious effort to get some good wardriving in, and I only found 25 thousand new WiFi networks. Kentaro and Aardvark scored more than me, per usual, with only their typical amount of effort. Brock (init_6_) and I basically haven't traveled at all in 2020, leaving to scores like his, 0s for the month.


 In order to avoid this, I must at least submit every month! Wardriving is actually a pretty secluded activity, so the biggest obstacle is optimizing the route. Speaking of optimizing routes, that leads to my next biggest goal. Stick around for my dedicated post about it next. I'm going to be saying Happy New Year the whole month of January this year. Merry 2021!

*Properly it's written WiGLE, but when I use it as a very I tend to write Wigle. I'm wrong, it's correctly WiGLE - don't come at me.

Goal Setting: Creating a vision board

 Hey y'all! I know I've missed my 2022 resolution to post once a month on the blog. It's something I think about frequently. I have been pouring my efforts into other areas of my life and haven't set enough time to create content or write blog posts. I've recently been reinvigorated after coming back from GrrCON 2022. Not only was GrrCON so much fun, I presented a pretty good talk: Hey Ma' Where's Malware Come From? It'll have it's own blog post once all the content is ready.  If you want to follow along, make your own vision board for free here .  I have a lot on my plate of tasks I don't attend to; things I want to do and things I need to do. I decided to help me clarify my goals and give myself some good mile markers via a vision board. Here's what the board means to me: (from left to right) Fox: I want to strive to do my best a work and position myself for future career growth and opportunities. I value where I work and want to be a helpf

#WardrivingWednesday

 I've attempted, with mixed results, to establish a hashtag on Mastodon on Wednesdays for wardriving. Why? Because I feel like it. There are so many awesome people in the wardriving space that could probably do it better, but I'm going to do it instead.  I cannot recall where I heard this general rule of thumb, but I believe it was Dragorn who said " For every adapter you can go about 10mph ". I wonder how true that is, and I wonder more how I would begin to test that theory. This is something I'd like to figure out, and will likely need some assistance.  I also plan on remaking my rigs with raspberry pi alternatives. Right now there is a lot of drama surrounding raspberry pi, but I'm doing it just because of the cost and supply issues. There are many alternatives now, and I'm sure they'll make a few rigs. I'll keep the updates posted under the hashtag on Wednesday. If you're interested in wardriving you should join the RF Sanctuary Discord.

My next talk: Come see me at CactusCon 2023!

Your smartphone is your best friend and worst enemy. Are you being listened to? Do you want to listen to someone else? This apps on your phone know more about you than you think, and there are more tools to make you cringe. Yes and no, “they are listening.” The apps are gathering so much information it seems like they are listening. This talk will discuss what privacy concerns you should have with your smartphone and will discuss how you can use your smartphone to do some surveillance of your own.
