Last Notes npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York And our fourth and final decision today is Gonzalez v. Trevino, delivered by Chief Justice Roberts - https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-1025_1a72.pdf No #NetChoice case today. I'll be back watching all of this tomorrow at the same time (10:00am US Eastern) as that is another decision day. #USSupremeCourt #SupremeCourt #SCOTUS npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York Third case - Diaz v.

A question will be - will those energy companies use the added investment to move to more sustainable energy production?

If so, what do you think about it? Our 27-year-old Weber BBQ grill has finally died, and I have recently been cooking on a Blackstone griddle when I volunteer at the Snack Shack at our local baseball fields. We don’t honestly cook enough red meat where I might want the direct flame of a grill. I feel like the griddle might be better for some of the vegetables and other things we cook - and would also still work fine for hamburgers and hot dogs. npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York Good to see #Vermont making headlines about protecting the data #privacy of people.

We have about an inch of snow on the ground and the snow heavily coming down. Now is the moment when we parents are just waiting … and waiting… for the phone call. Will school be canceled today?

On CNN, Steve Wozniak was asked first about Apple's situation but then about the proposed TikTok legislation. He called out the hypocrisy of pointing at one app when so many others have issues.

I guess I must just have always had browsers signed in on the few times I visit X/Twitter lately. Thanks for the link to the article. npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York Dear Apple, Can you PLEASE stop turning my links into “previews” when I am composing an email message? I don’t want that. I never have wanted that. I get that you think you are “helping” me, but I JUST WANT TO POST A RAW URL. That’s it. Just a link address. And yes, I know in the Mac version I can get a down-arrow to convert it to a plain link, but that’s a pain, and not easy in IOS. I just want URLs.

I didn't realize that somewhere along the way X restricted access to public tweets/posts to logged-in users. I noticed this when viewing X profiles from a browser where I was NOT logged in. Then I went to https://twitter.com/danyork - all it showed me was my one pinned tweet (amusingly telling people I'm more active on Mastodon 🤣) In another browser where I was logged in, I could see all my tweets/posts. I did not realized there was this change in behavior. npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York Anyone else who uses WhatsApp finding themselves added to a bunch of cryptocurrency investment groups lately?

Hmmm npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York What's going with the Internet in western and southern Africa right now?

There are multiple reports on Twitter/X about "subsea cable cuts" from telecom companies... but even they are not definitive.

Yes, indeed, today is a SNOW DAY here in our part of northwest Vermont! No school. We haven't yet had a large amount of snow, but it's still coming down, there are high winds, and the message is that the roads are very slippery.

If you want to go for once-in-a-lifetime moments, that certainly is one of them! 🎉 npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York Ah, the joys of modern computing... my iMac is making noises that sound like notifications from some social network ... and it may be *somewhere* in the 178 tabs I currently have open in Firefox... or maybe it's in the dozen tabs I have open in Safari... or the 20-ish in Chrome... ... or maybe it's in the 22+ apps that I have open in MacOS. 🤔 Thankfully it's not (yet) too annoying... npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York I was planning to watch the State of the Union address tonight, largely to see how Biden does. But... starting at 9:00pm Eastern?? I'm tired these days! I want to be in bed 🤣 I think I'll look for the highlights tomorrow... npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York @npub1rml…xa6t My understanding is that it is because the Keyper HSM’s are going away and will not be supported after 2027. So at some point Verisign needs to move to new HSMs. npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York Question to others who live in #Vermont - are you seeing a zillion pine cones this year? We have more on the ground than any year we can remember! https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/056/493/653/172/450/original/ddfec33ed927c868.jpeg npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York A key point is that ICANN is now looking to get to a cadence of rolling the KSK every three years.

Interesting to read about the dilemma of the hardware security module (HSM) vendor ceasing to make the HSMs that #ICANN was using... (More about HSMs in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_security_module ) https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/050/299/001/513/431/original/cbb8ceab3d1bef54.jpg npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York "a more quirky state" ... John King says about #Vermont on CNN during the #SuperTuesday coverage. 🤣 (And yes, we kind of like how weird and "quirky" Vermont may be!) npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York @npub1wfx…8uy3 I suspect that without the great outrage 🤬 about school budgets and property taxes, our turnout would have been lower. npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York Very constant flow of people voting today! Quite impressed to see so many people there. A *part* of it may be people wanting to vote in the Presidential Primary … but I suspect more of it may be people wanting the school budget to go down in 🔥🔥🔥 ! (Through a combination of factors, including a massive change in the way the state of Vermont funds school districts, we are potentially looking at a greater than 20% increase in our property taxes! People are NOT happy! 🙁) npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York Spending much of my day as a volunteer election worker helping at the polls. Today is both the Vermont Presidential Primary (part of “Super Tuesday”) and also “Town Meeting Day ” where we vote on our town budget, school budget, and yes, for a new fire engine 🚒 and a new ambulance 🚑 🙂 . My particular role is a fairly easy one.. I stand near the tabulator machine in case there are issues with it.. and I give out stickers! 😃 #Vermont #SuperTuesday #TownMeetingDay https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/044/832/240/738/611/original/a3d56a8e9670cd7f.jpeg npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York As much as I am interested in the potential for #LEO satellite systems to provide #InternetAccess and #ConnectTheUnconnected, I have a great concern that we don’t fully understand the trade-off we are making in terms of damage to the atmosphere. We are launching thousands of satellites into LEO with 5-year lifespans.. that will then burn up in the upper atmosphere. Is this okay? We don’t know. 🙁 #Climate #ClimateChange From: @npub1dgz…p74y https://astrodon.social/@JohnBarentine/112032995174221187 npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York 100% me!

Every other city is far.) npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York @npub1qjh…v537 Wow! That's great for your oven!

I seriously could take a day off from work and just edit all day. 🤣 npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York Ah, the joys of weather changes in New England (and particularly #Vermont ). We’re starting off the day at 36 F (~2 C) but by 3:00pm we’ll be at 57 F! (~14 C) Not a big deal if you work at home as I do.

I was going to try to live-post the #SCOTUS oral arguments about #NetChoice today... but I **don't know the voices of the US Supreme Court justices**, and the live stream is *audio*-only.

I will be doing that today! 😀 And I agree there’s no shame in PESOS … I should have perhaps included that in my original post. And yes, I’ve thought about changing to an instance with a higher character count… but I’ve been on THIS instance since 2016, so there’s a certain amount of inertia to changing. 😀 npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York That moment when you finish writing a thread of 5+ long posts… and realize… *that could have been a blog post!* 🤦♂️ I mean… don’t get me wrong… I think long threads on Mastodon can be great. And there is value in telling stories that way. But it is again putting *your content* on *someone else’s platform*, and even if it is a good platform like Mastodon, it still could go away. I believe the answer is to do *both*. Publish it on your own site (i.e. POSSE) and then serialize it as a thread. npub10tqxjwf7vg0ah5wxwpkxd3hkztcftufk3u90e2pr46f4277acgfsqdxw6n Dan York Now the question will be: how competitive can ULA actually be? Articles state that ULA has * 6 * launches planned in 2024. Meanwhile SpaceX will launch over 100.. possibly 144. And ULA the company is going through some challenges. Read Eric Berger’s excellent profile of ULA over at ArsTechnica: https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/01/with-vulcans-liftoff-imminent-united-launch-alliance-flies-into-uncertain-future/ Will Boeing and Lockheed successfully sell the company?
