You can totally use emojis as passwords. You can probably even make this a policy at your company.

Edit: I thought this was an obvious enough joke, but just to clear things up: Only do this if you hate your company and everyone working there.

You can add emojis to your wifi SSID. I do not recommend it for compatibility reasons, though. Your printer might not like it.

In my experience, several devices don’t display the emoji as a correct icon (instead show the rectangle “tofu”), but they still work with it.

Source: am using an emoji with some normal characters on SSID

That’s good! That’s best case scenario, honestly. With how awful printers are, I wouldn’t be surprised if some just crashed.

That’ll make setting up your wifi from the command line all kinds of fun.
Even my SSID with , and : in it stumps the Debian installer.

You do know printers can receive jobs wirelessly right?

just plug the printer into your router or something like raspberry pi (or a pc that’s running constantly) with a usb cable if you need that

Internet access? Never. LAN access though is a different story altogether…

It is very useful for your printer to have LAN access so you can print jobs wirelessly from your laptop.

But printer was just an example of a low-tech device. It could have easily been your Nintendo 3DS that might implode if your SSID had an emoji in it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
