I don’t even think my current wifi kit has WPA (1) as an option. It’s WPA2 or 3 only I’m pretty sure.

So, as others have saId this is just an unconfigured IIS server, which implies it’s either a windows machine, or a windows based VM, well or someone put the default IIS files on another server, but that’s unlikely.
When you say “weird” IP I’d wonder what you mean by that.
I think since it’s probably a windows machine, from another windows machine typing nbtstat -A <ip> should give you the computer name and workgroup or domain they belong to. See if it matches anything you expect on your network.
If not, maybe it’s time to change your WPA wifi key.
Don’t need the router. If you’re on windows or linux, you just ping the ip then enter ‘arp -a <ip>’ it will show the MAC address for the IP from your machine’s arp cache.
Technically, no. The last few have been significantly below either measure of inflation. So in real terms, I’ve had a wage cut!
Raises where you work are still based on merit? Damn!
Anyone running a webserver and looking at their logs will know AI is being trained on EVERYTHING. There are so many crawlers for AI that are literally ripping the internet wholesale. Reddit just got in on charging the AI companies for access to freely contributed content. For everyone else, they’re just outright stealing it.
“it goes up to eleven”
I would have thought so, but I think it depends on how thin the skin of the pipe is. I would also have expected a breaker to trip under that much load. But, based on that happening, I’d not be surprised if there are bypasses and/or broken breakers.
When we moved into the house we’re in now, the RCD (GFCI) didn’t work at all. I pressed test, nothing. Had the electrician over to change it. He tested the actual actuation using earth leakage. Nothing. So, faults can happen too.
I want to be wrong, though. Because that’s a pretty bad state to get into, I think.
The only way that immediately springs to mind is so unlikely to happen. It requires multiple faults/mistakes.
1: The chassis of one of the two units became live (connected to “hot” for you Americans) but was also not grounded in any way.
2: The chassis of the other WAS grounded and created a circuit for the current to flow.
3: There was no RCD (GFCD or whatever you guys call it) on the circuit.
In this way, that pipe would be the only thing connecting the two devices, and the resistance is causing a huge amount of heat (just like an incandescent bulb, or a heating element does by design).
Probably other possibilities, but it’s just the first thing I could think of that could potentially produce this result. But, that’s a lot of safety features to have either failed or just simply not been in place for this to be possible. So, frankly I hope I’m totally wrong.
The problem with wifi is that things will go downhill quickly once you have too many stations online. Even if they’re not actively browsing, the normal amount of chatter that a network has will often just slow things right down. It would need to be split into smaller wifi networks linked somehow and that means someone needs to be in a central location that is easily traced.
In theory I guess someone with a very fast connection could run a layer 2 VPN. Then you could all run a routing protocol over that network which is accessed over the internet.
Lot’s of ways to do it really. Wifi alone is probably the worst though.
In fact, forget the internet!
I mean you could have an open wifi mesh and/or a network of either cheap fibre/ethernet with open switches. Then using OSPF or a similar routing protocol that supports routing over LAN networks you could handle the routing between all the remote networks.
I think you’d need to break the network up at some points to break down the broadcast domains. You could do a similar thing to defederating, by not accepting certain routes, or routes from certain OSPF nodes.
Issues with LANs that get too big without splitting into a new LAN (limiting broadcast domains) and definitely even the most modern wifi becomes problematic with a number of active stations online (wifi is half duplex in operation). So multiple channels and some backbone either over point to point radio links, or cable to connect wifi zones and alternate channels would improve things somewhat.
Not sure why you’d want to do something like this. But the tech to do it is fairly inexpensive.

Yes, that’s right. I’m going to buy a 486, run windows 3.1 with trumpet winsock and be rid of tracking forever!
Until then:
I’ve used IPv6 at home for over 20 years now. Initially via tunnels by hurricane electric and sixxs. But, around 10 years ago, my ISP enabled IPv6 and I’ve had it running alongside IPv4 since then.
As soon as server providers offered IPv6 I’ve operated it (including DNS servers, serving the domains over IPv6).
I run 3 NTP servers (one is stratum 1) in ntppool.org, and all three are also on ipv6.
I don’t know what’s going on elsewhere in the world where they’re apparently making it very hard to gain accesss to ipv6.
Nah, I got the BCG back in the 80s, and I’m in the UK. So definitely not just Mexicans. That is one nasty vaccination, by the way. Do not recommend the experience.
Oh, I read this John Grisham book.
If they cannot see a verified human gaze they won’t let you even load the site!
Yes, the tech exists already on phones. Not sure how they’d enforce it on pc.

When these tools hit their bottom line enough, they will go the extra mile to block them.
Hmm. That would mean it’s likely one of the following (well perhaps more options, but these spring to mind)
I think you suggested in another comment, that it’s not in your DHCP client list but has an IP in your normal range. Which suggests it is setup with a static IP. That is odd.
Some other people suggested it could be a container that is using a real IP rather than the NAT that docker etc usually use. I do know that you can use real IPs in containers, I’ve done it on my NAS to get a “proper” linux install on top of the NAS lite linux that is provided. But I would have expected that you’d know about that, since it would require someone to actually choose the IP address to use.
If you have managed switches you could find which port on which switch the MAC address (as found by lookuping up the arp record for the IP using arp -a) is on (provided the switch allows access to the forwarding tables). Of course, if they’re on Wi-Fi it’s only going to lead to the access point they’re connecting to.
