Finding an open wireless connection in many airports isn't always easy, or possible, without a password (or local phone number which is stupid).

I spent a week without IPv4 to understand IPv6 transition mechanisms
The time has come to talk about something uncomfortable to a lot of you. You’ve been using legacy methods for far too long. It’s time to move to IPv6. But, of course, there’s a lot more to IPv6 than ‘just’ switching everything over. A lot of systems in the world still haven’t…
