As usual, this adventure of mine started with an annoyance. And I ended up learning a bit of Python scripthing and then how to set up a github repository and publish a post in blog format.
See, I have T-Mobile home internet and it has hidden settings. Smart people figured out all the steps to read and edit the hidden WiFi settings on a T-Mobile gateway. I set out to simplify and dumb it down to one script with the options to disable/enable the WiFi radios (and to be set up to do any other changes). Personally, I usually keep WiFi disabled and use ethernet, but there are situations where WiFi is temporarily convenient. I wanted that switch reachable, quick, and not requiring me to check extensive notes because inevitably I would forget the steps.
So I wrote about it as simply as I possibly could. Because I know what it's like to be overwhelmed initially and how fun it is to understand something by learning to control it.
And that became my very first ever post, sharing with the world. If it ever helps one person, that's brilliant. If someone points out a mistake, that's fantastic, that's my growth. If nobody ever reads it, that's great, my goal is reached: I pushed myself to do something way outside my comfort zone.
