  • Oooo I’m researching this. We call some of them click fix and others clearfake but theyre all fake captcha. Its either from vulnerable wordpress themes or plugins so update ya sites for the love of Torvalds.

    They’re basically a method for infostealers to get downloaded onto the device. They’re kinda nasty and some lead to ransomware if youre really unlucky. The usual payload is intended to leach off an individual and steal passwords, crypto addresses, etc, but as soon as they find out you’re an organisation computer, they use your machine for initial access and potential further compromise.

    Most people don’t run these but I’ve seen at least 3 people who have and tbh usually antivirus stops the 2nd stage payload. So make sure Defender antivirus is turned on, and maybe consider blocking newly registered domains using ad block if you are more tech savvy. Remind your grandparents and young siblings to never do anything with Win+R or disable it on their pc if you know how. Infostealers are nasty and having one on the family pc will hurt every member of the family.

    From my limited understanding, Lincoln was somewhat committed to ending slavery but wasn’t even that concerned with it, like it wasn’t part of his first 100 days plan or anything. However, his election was interpreted by the south as a full on attack against their rights (to keep slaves) so they attempted to secede.

    So the north gave a shit but understood the need to end slavery, they just planned to do it in like a 5-10 year plan. Meanwhile the slavers jumped the gun, shot themselves in both feet and made it the most pressing issue they could which led to the end of slavery and the damaged the economies of several states.




  • Some spiders, yes. Others not so much. Really depends and some of the small spiders are worse than the big ones. Tbh centipedes are worse, they’re just nasty. Spiders stay mostly away from humans, the bolder ones just stay in the corners and eat bugs so we kinda like them. I used to catch them in jars and take them back outside.

    Wasps are a thing - we’ve got european and paper wasps mostly where I live, but I’ve never been stung in all my years here. If you’re removing a nest, just light some newspaper on fire and wave it near the nest so the wasps smell the smoke. The wasps leave and they dont get angry about the nest being destroyed. I used to clear a couple of nests off my house every year but I’ve moved and don’t have to do it as often here.
