This is what a HIT is asking me right now, is this legit??!? sounds shady

We are looking for people to host a small receiver on their property. The receiver is smaller than a shoebox, and it captures public aircraft flight information.

We will drop ship it to your home. Simply plug in the power cord and ethernet cable. Ideally you host the box top of your building, not at the center of your building.

We will pay you $10 at the end of each month when you keep it plugged in and online 99.9% of the time (that gives you about 35 minutes of downtime each month). You will receive a $50 bonus after you have done this for 12 months.
It's a real thing. There are several online services that use them.

Hmm, that is really interesting. If the box only does what they say, I would totally do this. But you do have to wonder if the box is like spying on you or something.

Speaking of remembering and forgetting words, over the past like 10 years I've been trying to remember this word that I knew started with a 'd' and reminded me of the word 'decay' and I couldn't for the life of me remember UNTIL JUST NOW THE FUCKING WORD WAS DECREPIT.

Here is a hit to make my rambling somewhat worth it.

If someone spies on me all they're going to hear is me talking to my animals, the computer, sometimes the corners of the wall or doorknobs when I run into them, and singing very loudly and offkey.

No you don't, lol. :tinfoil: Probably best to start dealing with the things we know are 'spying' on us, before we start guessing at what could be spying on us. :p Plus, if you were truly worried, you could open it, or just build a tiny Faraday cage around it.
