  And every one of them hatched from a happy little lawn grub that ate our lawn.

  I don’t really understand this reply and why this is a shower thought.

  But, I take it back. Clearly not a pastor or sermon. Sorry, my bad…

  Is this one of those “how do you do fellow kids” accounts made by a very young looking , middle aged pastor attempting to infiltrate social media?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can my image be recorded in British airports by tv camera crews even if I don't consent?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In about 2014 we flew through an airport where some of these “customs” types shows was being recorded. They had signs up everywhere (I think in multiple languages) saying “episodes of _____ are being recorded here. If you do not wish to be recorded please talk to the crew” (or something like that).

  But who knows what they’ve filmed for their cut-away shots, from the far said of the arrivals hall.

  I guess you should expect shots of you walking to be ok. But probably have the right to opt out of having your “case” filled.

  Yeah, it depends on what you mean.

  In many cases malware and phishing is hosted off other compromised sites. They build a list of Wordpress sites with vulnerabilities and host their files onto them. So for example “legitimate-medical-site.net.com” is a real site, so they’ll Chuck malicious files in there somewhere like “legitimate-medical-site. net. com/qwertasdf/invoice.pdf”.

  If the site gets blocked or shutdown it’s no loss to them.

  Another technique, especially phishing wise, they will have a semi-plausible domain name (e.g. youbank-security-server .con). But they will register heaps of these. There are tonnes of top level domains that do next to no checking again, these things cost a few bucks so having it taken down is not a problem.

  The combination of burner sites and domains mean they have a window of opportunity to run their attacks and scams before other protections kick in.
