Had an apartment in Quincy that was right next to the highway. Worst decision ever. The noise pollution took a mental toll on me plus I never felt like I could take a full deep breath of fresh air. I broke my lease early

I am an avid hiker and I have never known the appeal of Blue Hills.

It sounds like a highway everywhere in that park.

SAME! I went once and won't go back. I'd rather head west or north to hike.

The thumping bass in my backyard once drove me to leave my house for an entire day because it started before I woke up and no matter what I did - close the windows, shut the doors, turn the tv up - it felt like I was being physically tortured. I had the shakes and could not even hear myself think. Now I live with an oxygen therapy user. I’ll take my chances with the 18 wheelers.

The only time I've ever used my networking skills for something sketchy was to silence a downstairs neighbors' WiFi speakers.

Mimicked his SSID, marked his wireless router as a rogue, started spamming deauthorization frames, and left it on autopilot. Guy didn't have Internet for weeks.

Moral of the story is, fuck people who don't turn their music down.

I wish I had an award here. This is what I'm talking about. This is exactly how to return the favor. Quiet and cold. Are we long lost brothers?

I think you just found your side gig. $250 for 1 week of silence plus knowing your shit head neighbor is going crazy trying to figure out why his wifi is busted

I mean, I'm sure it's an FCC violation to do that on purpose, but I was working on a related netsec project at my job at the time and had few scruples about using that junkie asshole for target practice.

It would be an FCC violation to overwhelm it with EM radiation. He's overwhelming it with the protocol itself.

Probably still illegal if he's in the US, but not regulated by the FCC.

Still tempted to do this to my asshole neighbors.
