    Telling who aided with the brief.

    • Idaho, Alaska, Wyoming and the Arizona Legislature. Iowa, which spearheaded a brief signed by attorneys general from Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota and Texas.
    • Utah’s entire Congressional delegation, which includes Sens. Mitt Romney and Mike Lee, and Reps. Blake Moore, Celeste Maloy, John Curtis and Burgess Owens, all Republicans. Wyoming GOP Rep. Harriet Hageman also signed onto the brief.
    • The Utah Legislature.
    • The Wyoming Legislature.
    • The Utah Association of Counties.
    • The American Lands Council, a nonprofit organization based in Utah that advocates for access to public lands.
    • The Sutherland Institute, a Utah-based conservative think tank.
    • The Utah Public Lands Council, Utah Wool Growers Association, Utah Farm Bureau Federation, and county farm bureaus from Beaver, Garfield, Iron, Kane, Piute, Sanpete, Sevier, Uintah and Washington counties.
    • The Pacific Legal Foundation, a nonprofit law firm.
    • A coalition of counties in Arizona and New Mexico, the New Mexico Federal Lands Council and New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau.






  • “The offices of the Central Social Institution of Prague, Czechoslovakia with the largest vertical letter file in the world. Consisting of cabinets arranged from floor to ceiling tiers covering over 4000 square feet containing over 3000 drawers 10 feet long. It has electric operated elevator desks which rise, fall and move left or right at the push of a button. to stop just before drawer desired. The drawers also open and close electronically. Thus work which formerly taxed 400 workers is now done by 20 with a minimum of effort.

  • If approved, it will affect all Safari certificates, which follows a similar push by Google, that plans to reduce the max-validity period on Chrome for these digital trust files down to 90 days.

    Max lifespans of certs have been gradually decreasing over the years in an ongoing effort to boost internet security. Prior to 2011, they could last up to about eight years. As of 2020, it’s about 13 months.

    Apple’s proposal would shorten the max certificate lifespan to 200 days after September 2025, then down to 100 days a year later and 45 days after April 2027. The ballot measure also reduces domain control validation (DCV), phasing that down to 10 days after September 2027.

    And while it’s generally agreed that shorter lifespans improve internet security overall — longer certificate terms mean criminals have more time to exploit vulnerabilities and old website certificates — the burden of managing these expired certs will fall squarely on the shoulders of systems administrators.

    Over the past couple of days, these unsung heroes who keep the internet up and running flocked to Reddit to bemoan their soon-to-be increasing workload. As one noted, while the proposal “may not pass the CABF ballot, but then Google or Apple will just make it policy anyway…”

    However, as another sysadmin pointed out, automation isn’t always the answer. “I’ve got network appliances that require SSL certs and can’t be automated,” they wrote. “Some of them work with systems that only support public CAs.”

    Another added: “This is somewhat nightmarish. I have about 20 appliance like services that have no support for automation. Almost everything in my environment is automated to the extent that is practical. SSL renewal is the lone achilles heel that I have to deal with once every 365 days.”

    Until next year, anyway.




  • Opening paragraphs translated:

    Barrage ammunition Stick M12 was developed in Ukraine Aviation Bpa (Unmanned aerial vehicles) defense industry Ukraine

    The Ukrainian defense company developed a barrage ammunition called the Stick M12.

    The United Military Solutions company said that their new drone is capable of flying at a distance of up to 70 km.

    At the same time, the Stick M12 UAV type «Krylo» is able to stay in the air for more than an hour.

    The impact drone is equipped with one electric motor in the rear. In the front part there is a warhead.

    It is designed to defeat stationary targets, armored vehicles and locations where enemy personnel are deployed.

    It is known that in June, a batch of these barrage munitions was received by a 100th separate mechanized brigade of the Ground Forces.




  • Harris has said that she wants legislation implementing the tax cut to only apply to the people we traditionally think of when we think of tips: waiters, maids, caddies, and other service-industry customer-contact workers.

    Trump, on the other hand, has refused to limit his no-tax-on-tips proposal to such workers, opening up the possibility that big banks, insurance companies, hedge funds, and other companies that traditionally have paid year-end bonuses — sometimes in the millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars — could simply reclassify their bonuses as tax-free tips.

    **Adding to the confusion should Trump’s plan go into place, the Supreme Court earlier this year expanded the definition of tips when they ruled that if politicians or judges are paid bribes, but the payments are made *****after ***the politician or judge does the requested favor, they’re no longer bribes but, instead, merely tips.

    Jesus H. f#$k Christ, let’s not normalizing bribes.
