Purpose

  • Irrigation
  • Drinking water for neatest villages
gollark: A slight issue with it is that because of some kernel changes which haven't been made because ???, it has to power on/off the wireless card when you change MAC, which takes *multiple* hundreds of milliseconds.
gollark: I also have iwd configured to deterministically use different MAC addresses per network, and I think iOS/Android do similar stuff.
gollark: I said scan (as in WiFi scanning), not DHCP whatevering.
gollark: I'm pretty sure most software randomizes it on scan nowadays.
gollark: You can quite easily set MAC addresses to anything you want on most devices.
