Another dull Sunday. I guess all the reporters went skiing.


I have been waiting for something like this. There probably won’t be many stories about the content.
Huge Trove of Leaked Russian Documents Is Published by Transparency Advocates
A group of transparency advocates on Friday posted a mammoth collection of hacked and leaked documents from inside Russia, a release widely viewed as a sort of symbolic counterstrike against Russia’s dissemination of hacked emails to influence the American presidential election in 2016.
Most of the material, which sheds light on Russia’s war in Ukraine as well as ties between the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church, the business dealings of oligarchs and much more, had been released in Russia, Ukraine and elsewhere, sometimes on obscure websites. There were no immediate reports of new bombshells from the collection.
… The Russian documents were posted simultaneously on the DDoSecrets website and on the Internet Archive.




Perspective. What the USPS couldn’t shove through your front door mail slot, you had to go to the post office to pick up. Things have changed.
UPS expands keyless-entry system for deliveries
United Parcel Service is expanding a keyless-entry system for package deliveries at apartment buildings after a successful test in New York and San Francisco.
The efficiency gains from not having to resend packages or fumble with a ring full of keys prompted UPS to extend the service to 10 cities where high-rise residential towers are common, including Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles.
The system, in which drivers can enter buildings but not individual apartments, will be available in mid-2019, UPS said in a statement Tuesday.
