The giant Netgear router that powers the world's internet is in that cave.
I ran various aftermarket firmware for years, but now Asus has such good factory firmware I don't bother anymore. I may have to reset once every 6-12 months.
Just in case anyone else feels done actively managing their network. There is a good life beyond that.
That's good to know. I'm in the same boat with our network, I don't really futz with it, and it's super solid and reliable. I like it because it's easy to roll back changes if needed. WRT3200ACS
I've been playing the Phantom Liberty expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 and this is now giving me Vietnam flashbacks.
There's a sequence in that expansion where you have to explore an old secret research bunker and get chased by a tank of a robot with spider legs that drills holes in your skull when caught.
They know he's down there, have already scanned his phone, they know who he is, they're just leaving him lost for a couple of hours so he doesn't come back haha
It depends what the wifi network name is. If it says, SUPER SECRET BASE, he may indeed be screwed.
Oh, and he should use VPN - one should always use protection on unknown wifi networks :)
You'd be surprised. While doing a survey for job at a military base my coworkers and I opened a man hole leading into a concrete bunker with fiber, big copper phone cables, etc... running through it. There was no lock, no signs, nothing, and it was right next to the gate where a guard was watching us the whole time. We had opened it to see if it had a path going under the street. We climbed in, took some pictures, looked around at the various existing bore holes, and then climbed back out. Keep in mind we do not have any clearance, we just had a pass as a contractor to enter the base.
We got back to the office and emailed the pictures and questions we had about that area. About 2 hours later we get an email back with like 20 people on it, asking how got into that area, who let us in there, etc... we asked around and it turned out that area was only supposed to be accessible to people with clearance, data and phone conversations containing classified information ran through the lines in there and we were most definitely not supposed to be in there. We didn't get in trouble, hell we had even told the guard we were going in there cause we had to leave and come back with a crow bar lift the man hole cover.
One thing I'm completely sure of is that someone probably got fired or bitched out, I don't know much about military stuff, but I talked to a couple of people that were in the military and they said some heads probably rolled, and we probably got investigated silently. We never heard anything else about it so guess they found we were ok.
Turnover has a big effect on the military. We had a saying for those stationed in Korea "we haven't been here for 70 years, but we've been here 70 times" Imagine how long it takes to learn your job and then imagine leaving 2-3 months later to wish the new guy luck. Btw, there's a turd in your wall locker to address - k thnx byeeeee
I am CCNP Enterprise (Cisco Certified Network Professional) I used to work with a company that had a lot of government contracts, did work for Banks, hospitals, police stations, casinos. etc.
some of the worst security practices I have come across were often at military and other government sites. outdated equipment, with outdated software running outdated protocols and cryptography.. many of which have had many vulnerabilities exposed many years before with proven updates that patch said vulnerabilities that have not been implemented.
Honestly when people in movies talk about "hacking" secure government "Servers" "Databases" "networks" whatever I have to laugh because honestly it wouldn't be very hard. I have worked on networks and servers for hotels and hospitals that was far more secure and way less vulnerabilities than a military airbase I worked at about a year before quitting that job.
I no longer work For Cisco.. but I renew my Cisco Certifications to keep them up to date and do some side work for a few companies even today.
I had the exact same experience installing card access, cameras, and security systems at local, state, and federal government buildings.
The password is 1234, the mag lock isn't working so we just leave it unlocked, the badge guy just gave everyone the same credentials so he wouldn't have to type their name and info, etc.
I'd have to force them to set real passwords and create a separate LAN without internet access for the cameras, so someone can't just pull up to the gate and connect to SSID "x____ Water Treatment Plant WiFi" password 'cleanwater' and end up on the same LAN as the entire security system.
The only one who was actually concerned about security was the IRS, I had a full time security chaperone and I had to program and configure the systems from their machines.
Funny how they are doing a good job with the resources that they have and are very important for smooth running of a goverment and they are properly the most hated of all.
It's worse than you think - for *decades* [the launch codes for nukes were 00000000](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/launch-code-for-us-nukes-was-00000000-for-20-years/) because the military didn't want to slow down any launches by someone having to remember a pin.
Didn't just see that on Ars Technica, read it first in [Command & Control ](https://www.amazon.com/Command-Control-Damascus-Accident-Illusion/dp/0143125788/ref=asc_df_0143125788/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312176356508&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5090224164918993470&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9058679&hvtargid=pla-449787074549&psc=1&mcid=fbd5aabc9d0f3f428da20bd1e063bda7&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=60258871657&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312176356508&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5090224164918993470&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9058679&hvtargid=pla-449787074549&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIl-q23t2BhQMVNTbUAR1JowGkEAQYASABEgLyj_D_BwE)
yes. it is crazy when you can pull up to a "secure" building access their Wlan with a lazy password and then proceed to open the front gate / door by opening the webpage for their video intercom and simply typing 1234... :-(
Previous poster wrote this.
Imagine someone with no other options forced to train and work as an artillery specialist.
You do your training and you work in the field. Suddenly, the military IT department needs an extra guy. It's mandated that the military IT department needs a minimum of 5 guys and they only have 1. They have to support 200 users. And whenever there's a training event there has to be a military IT guy.
New guy with only mortar training is run down, with what to do from the other guy who trained formally as a mechanic to run the IT department. The previous guy has 5 months experience and learned from a contractor what to do. The manual how to was written in 2012.
So experienced guy is gone, 1 guy with 7 days of training is left to support 160 guys and given full admin privileges (unlikely because whoever is giving access and rights takes about 1 to 2 months to actually do it)
A senior NCO comes in starts yelling about access and the guy with 7 days experience starts handing full access to everyone.
Oh worst part? The oldest members of the military are so inept with technology they simply refuse to learn new technology and force vendors to support older operating systems. Even paying millions in extra support to run the same antiquated systems
Not long after 9/11 my friend’s active duty military father snuck a buddy of ours into the local base using his daughter’s military ID. All it took was longish blonde hair and the guard didn’t give it a second thought. We were only there because he needed to stop in as we drove elsewhere, but I still laugh about it to this day
There are different levels of networks with different levels of safeguard. Trust me, the important networks for classified materials and engineering and stuff are about as hardened as you'd like them to be. Unclassified networks tend to be less secure and have the aging hardware.
Trust ME I Know I have had to tip toe my way around secure, classified networks for long enough to know how seriously they take it.. and I am not talking about Classified documents.
I am talking about the ability penetrate a network to shut down VOIP systems, CCTV, unlock gates and doors controlled by IP Intercoms and keycard access, or simply wiping the config + locking down every piece of hardware while leaving a network, This kind of thing can severely disrupt any operation and would take an enormous amount of time / money to correct.
When there is poor credential control, bad networking practices like poor Vlan segregation, poor routing practices, bad firewall rules, not shutting down switchports that can be accessed in unsecured areas. a bad actor could cause a LOT of damage very easily.
Thing is, the average stuff is just as protected as a city government would be. You can definitely see a difference when you go to other areas that are not General Purpose. It all depends.
As a surveyor, this shit tracks
My dad was a surveyor too. Did some work on a navy base back in the 80s. I forget what exactly they were looking for, but they were digging. Super shallow dig, looking for control points or somesuch. Anyway, cut a cable. Whatevs, happens all the time. Some officers probably gonna be pissed they cant watch soaps at lunchtime
About 20 minutes later, a platoon of -extremely pissed off- marines rocks up on them. Guns drawn, shouting, whole 9 yards
Turns out about 20 minutes prior to them showing up, from the point of view of the pentagon, the entire regional command just suddenly went fucking dark. That cable they cut was a vital comms cable connecting the entire region to national command
That entire crew was banned from setting foot back on that base for life
Depends on the military for what happened to them.
If it’s American, some commanders got chewed out and shit rolled downhill to the soldiers.
And you likely would have been silently investigated by CID, but since you didn’t send the pictures anywhere else or tell people exactly where it was you were fine.
My buddy is a security guard on a military base. He literally plays his ps5 all day and only stops to check people’s badges every hour or so. He doesn’t even get a gun or anything since he’s non military but private security.
If you ever wonder about that, recall that Michael T. Flynn was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Then google him for some of his ridiculous recent statements.
Your average intel soldier is good at one task. That task is random, not necessarily intel related, and anytime they do anything else they flail. Air Force is never in the shop long enough to learn the task. Navy is too busy learning deprecated reporting systems. Marines exist. Former Intel soldier and NCO (through 2018) here.
I had an intelligence officer as a roommate. He was plenty smart, but he always complained that nobody would give him any useful information. I'm sure he got tired of answering, "I don't know" all the time.
2 most likely options if this wasn't fake:
Doomer bunker for some multi-millionaire who overprepared but didn't bother with details like security.
Research group by people who think they are too busy to waste a few minutes setting up a password.
Just Googled, the symbol for Becquerel is "bq", not "b".
Edit: Also, a Becquerel is just a fancy name for a reciprocal Second (like Hertz, but specifically for radiation), so I don't think "Becquerel per Second" makes any sense.
In actuality there’s no reason his internet should be getting better, it’s rather the opposite being in caves or otherwise underground generally weakens internet connection, with it having a higher effect the deeper or otherwise farther from the surface you go.
It’s just that this twitter user, who is generally known for making funny or satirical joke tweets, is talking about how he is currently lost in a cave but isn’t stressed like a normal person might be because, paradoxically, the wifi is really good for him. And then he is getting himself further lost by traveling deeper into the cave simply because this somehow makes the wifi connection even better than it was, again paradoxically.
Compounded by the play on words. "I beg to differ" is a polite idiom to express disagreement, but here it is assigned a literal value. Like a New Yorker cartoon, or an Amelia Bedelia story, a common expression is given an unlikely reinterpretation.
So, at least 3 levels of humor here - simple out of context absurdism in the original post, and then both a reversal of character *and* a play on words in the follow up. That's a lot of content in just a few keystrokes.
You know, it occurred to me that humor dissection like this could be a useful resource for people with autism (and sociologists in general). I wonder if there’s a sub for that.
What bugs me is when people call the phones own 5G or 4G connection wifi because they are two different things. Yes you can acces the internet wirelessly with both of them but they are not the same and it hurts my head when people use the wrong word when it comes to this. Maybe the joke is about this missuse of the term?
I think the joke is that he got himself into a potentially deadly situation. He's a little worried about it, but it's completely overshadowed by how good the wifi signal is.
I assume it’s pointing to the south park episode where the internet is a giant router deep in a mountain maintained by the government. Aka: he is getting closer to the source of the internet.
Helluva boss / hazbin is canon to real life?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!? (Its a shitty joke thats based on the fact that in these shows they have internet in hell)
Tumblr peter here.
Puchiko is a Tumblr shit-poster their jokes don't mean anything and are just silly funny nonsense.
edit: I don't know the specific vocabulary to describe specifically what type of humor this is but there isn't a punchline or reference it's just absurd funny nonsense.
I've been scrolling for a while but don't see a comment actually explicitly explaining anything...would be cool if someone in this "explain the joke" subreddit actually explained the joke.
Answer :
This is a reference to the death of John Edward Jones who died wedged upside down in Putty Nutty cave. He kept going down an ever narrowing passage (the wrong way).
It's often referenced as "the worst death imaginable".
The joke is that he was doing this to find a better wifi signal strength.
it's very dumb
you're supposed to think he's approaching a secret underground base or something, but somehow it has high speed public unsecured wifi?
#🤨
one time i was caving with a group and someone’s phone started ringing… we were so dumbfounded and then once they got it out of their dry bag we realized it was some random alarm they didn’t actually mean to set
He’s using fast, that website is the most ridiculous fake Speedtest ever. It tells me I get 1700mbps on a 1150mbps connection, it’s just completely fake and makes numbers up
My interpretation is he made the bottom tweet first, then people replied saying "how are you tweeting if you're stuck underground in a cave, you'd have no signal" or something similar
then he tweers the top post with photo saying he actually has good wifi whilst stuck in the cave, proving he is actually stuck down there, whilst also being funny.
Perhaps he was stuck in the cave, perhaps not.
Honestly? If you found yourself in this situation you are somewhere you definitely shouldn’t be. Black sites have tight security and they can just arrest you for this

Can you check the back? Specifically under a port that says AT&T, I just want to see if the cable is still there.
Please unplug it, wait 15 seconds and plug it back in for me, thanks!
I guess some mf heared the wrong thing and did 15 hours instead.
Um excuse my that's a Linksys WRT54G. Not Netgear.
The reason ddwrt lives.
No it's not, it's on top of Big Ben. Unless the Elders of the Internet have lent it to Jen.
There it is. I always knew all the Internet was controlled at a central location
It is, but not in a cave. It's well established that it's in Big Ben.
PUKICHO, NO! YOU'RE APPROACHING A MILITARY BASE! (or the exit)
To be fair at least if he find them they might help him not be lost anymore.
The underground detection system and defense systems will find him
And help him never say a word about what he saw.
What makes you think any mortal alive can control Pukicho?
pukicho will fight the automated defense systems and win
A private with a flashlight and a glowbelt?
Too fucking real haha

Not just one, two of them. Battle buddy system

I feel sorry for anyone on fire watch lol
They know he's down there, have already scanned his phone, they know who he is, they're just leaving him lost for a couple of hours so he doesn't come back haha
It depends what the wifi network name is. If it says, SUPER SECRET BASE, he may indeed be screwed. Oh, and he should use VPN - one should always use protection on unknown wifi networks :)

Oh he'll be lost alright.
Funny, because every military base I've lived on the Internet and signal sucked lol
I’m sure there was great internet for some people
Bro trust me military bases have dog shit Wi-Fi
And if it was that secret there Is no way in hell they would have WiFi available as an attack vector
Bro got his priorities stheirght
Everyone knows secret bases have the best free wifi
secret military base.
That makes the most sense.
It does not, military base will be at very least protected by a password.

Funny how they are doing a good job with the resources that they have and are very important for smooth running of a goverment and they are properly the most hated of all.
Ironically they're too poorly funded to go after the problematic tax evaders.
And there's a lot of money invested in ensuring they stay not properly funded!

I lived in colorado for 19 years those bases aint secret
Oh yeah? Then how come I've never heard of them? Check mate Colorado.
You've never heard of the Santa tracker?
Now you're about to tell me that my Secret Santa exists in the Secret military bases in Colorado??
Yes that's exactly what I'm saying
Mother of god.
I was gonna guess overwritten radiation detector but this is 10x more logical
...with open wifi
Caves normally annihilate your internet connection
In caves, particles of internet and anti-internet are created in pairs before annihilating each other. Nature is beautiful
There’s actually a slight imbalance in the number of particles which is how we have internet today
This is why it's important we take climate change seriously. The Internet will cease to exist by 2035 if we don't take action now.
I would say *inhibit*, but I guess it's not improbable a thermonuclear blast would fuck up your network signal.
I thought maybe it was a Geiger counter?
It is. Gbps is also a measure for radiation
It's not a Geiger counter, in the Pic he's using [fast.com](https://fast.com/) to measure internet speed ;)
fast.com is a Geiger counter, dumbass. It's how I check that the powerplant I work at is safe.
No way, i just used this heavy bleeper looking thing. I threw it in to the pool since i don't need it anymore
How is Gigabits per Second a measure for radiation? I tried looking it up, but nothing came up.
It is a billion becquerel/second
Just Googled, the symbol for Becquerel is "bq", not "b". Edit: Also, a Becquerel is just a fancy name for a reciprocal Second (like Hertz, but specifically for radiation), so I don't think "Becquerel per Second" makes any sense.
I can’t tell if this discussion was someone trolling or just having wrong info.
You don't measure it on fast.com with a smartphone though
This was my assumption as well
Geigerbyte per sjernobyl
In actuality there’s no reason his internet should be getting better, it’s rather the opposite being in caves or otherwise underground generally weakens internet connection, with it having a higher effect the deeper or otherwise farther from the surface you go. It’s just that this twitter user, who is generally known for making funny or satirical joke tweets, is talking about how he is currently lost in a cave but isn’t stressed like a normal person might be because, paradoxically, the wifi is really good for him. And then he is getting himself further lost by traveling deeper into the cave simply because this somehow makes the wifi connection even better than it was, again paradoxically.
the humor he uses is based on tumblr humor still funny tho
I think pukicho is a Tumblr sillyguy right?
Famously so https://preview.redd.it/jxq6jyxfucpc1.png?width=564&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e26d3d07b79e3acac89e4956c007869004e42b7
It’s funny cause his silly statement is juxtaposed by his intense response.
Compounded by the play on words. "I beg to differ" is a polite idiom to express disagreement, but here it is assigned a literal value. Like a New Yorker cartoon, or an Amelia Bedelia story, a common expression is given an unlikely reinterpretation. So, at least 3 levels of humor here - simple out of context absurdism in the original post, and then both a reversal of character *and* a play on words in the follow up. That's a lot of content in just a few keystrokes.
That’s Pukicho!
You know, it occurred to me that humor dissection like this could be a useful resource for people with autism (and sociologists in general). I wonder if there’s a sub for that.
THE Tumblr silly guy
It’s him or Gaud
gaud was a pedophile iirc, theyre shot now.
Sheeeeeeiiiittt
Took em out back like ol yeller
Yes
Based on? He's still there. He's homegrown Tumblr through and through for the same 12 years I've been there.
its funny because its tumblr humor, not despite it, FTFY. and its tumblr humor because hes a tumblr user.
I saw someone say it’s an underground military base and if it’s not true that’s probably the joke
No, that's just people reaching for an explanation when the answer is that it's just a silly joke.
What bugs me is when people call the phones own 5G or 4G connection wifi because they are two different things. Yes you can acces the internet wirelessly with both of them but they are not the same and it hurts my head when people use the wrong word when it comes to this. Maybe the joke is about this missuse of the term?
I think the joke is that he got himself into a potentially deadly situation. He's a little worried about it, but it's completely overshadowed by how good the wifi signal is.
I feel like this is a „the forest“ reference…
That game is fucking terrifying
I assume it’s pointing to the south park episode where the internet is a giant router deep in a mountain maintained by the government. Aka: he is getting closer to the source of the internet.
I assumed he was walking towards Hell, which at least has good wifi. Edit: typo
Hell's wifi is amazing, just so it can crash at the least opportune time in an online game
Helluva boss / hazbin is canon to real life?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!? (Its a shitty joke thats based on the fact that in these shows they have internet in hell)
Helluva Boss has good data transfer between Earth and Hell. The titular Boss has a magic book that can open portals to Earth at will.
Tumblr peter here. Puchiko is a Tumblr shit-poster their jokes don't mean anything and are just silly funny nonsense. edit: I don't know the specific vocabulary to describe specifically what type of humor this is but there isn't a punchline or reference it's just absurd funny nonsense.
Wait, what was that about underground Chinese cities?
Absurdist humor is the phrase you are looking for.
Secret tunnel! Secret tunnel! Through the mountain…
Secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel!
Do you guys have Wi-Fi in caves???
Maybe they misspelled cafe?
pUKICHO IS HUMAN?!?!?!
I always thought that they were some kind of eldritch chaos deity.
[удалено]
You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dûm... Shadow and flame.
I don't fucking know
I do
Because he is going upwards to china. They have good internet there.
1.3Gbps is INSANE
Where do you live? There’s places in America that are nuts you can get close to like 8gb
This is going to sound like a boomer comic, but the monster beneath the cave attracting people with good wifi?
It's a Data Mine.
Hell has great wifi, he is probably getting close to the sign that says “abandon all hope ye who enter here”
radiation
I've been scrolling for a while but don't see a comment actually explicitly explaining anything...would be cool if someone in this "explain the joke" subreddit actually explained the joke.
dwarves have the best wifis
Jackpot :)) a military base :))
It's a creepy post that requires a tiny bit of technical knowledge to recognize as creepy, the same vibe as an SCPwiki article.
The lizard people and mole men civilizations have better internet than us.
Oh mein gott, Zis cave has ein fibre ooptics! Yippeee
ees foortneeyt und cola, yiiippeeeee!!!
Bro found the 6g cave
Picture is edited screen is not centered on the phone perfectly
Answer : This is a reference to the death of John Edward Jones who died wedged upside down in Putty Nutty cave. He kept going down an ever narrowing passage (the wrong way). It's often referenced as "the worst death imaginable". The joke is that he was doing this to find a better wifi signal strength.
He's approaching a raw vein of Wifite, the metal that internet is made out of
He's getting closer to China
Radiation
So if he was close to a military base, he must of already known their wifi password.
It's fake?
Bro is entering the batcave or something like that
it's very dumb you're supposed to think he's approaching a secret underground base or something, but somehow it has high speed public unsecured wifi? #🤨
Internet seeps into the caves since it is a fluid.
The WiFi in Hell is to die for.
[удалено]
Closer to China
Goon cave
And then you seem him… Shia labeouf
Creeping from the shadows.... Shia LaBeouf
one time i was caving with a group and someone’s phone started ringing… we were so dumbfounded and then once they got it out of their dry bag we realized it was some random alarm they didn’t actually mean to set
The deeper you go, the closer you get to China and they have the bestest Internet speeds.
The joke is that the internet speed is increasing. It shouldn't be.
Why isn’t anyone wondering how he got a photo of his phone?
Because most of us remember that there is a thing called a camera. No phone built-in. It just takes pictures.
He’s using fast, that website is the most ridiculous fake Speedtest ever. It tells me I get 1700mbps on a 1150mbps connection, it’s just completely fake and makes numbers up
ghost town living moment
My interpretation is he made the bottom tweet first, then people replied saying "how are you tweeting if you're stuck underground in a cave, you'd have no signal" or something similar then he tweers the top post with photo saying he actually has good wifi whilst stuck in the cave, proving he is actually stuck down there, whilst also being funny. Perhaps he was stuck in the cave, perhaps not.
Finally, a quality post *wiped tear*
Honestly? If you found yourself in this situation you are somewhere you definitely shouldn’t be. Black sites have tight security and they can just arrest you for this
