The lossless data compression fairies are having fun with me today...

  • Scan 8.5" x 11" document at 1200dpi @ greyscale
  • -> 60 MiB PNG, thank you
  • Open PNG in GIMP, select a good threshold point, convert to 1bpp
  • -> 514 KiB PNG
  • Wait... 116:1 compression from 8-bit PNG to 1-bit PNG? HOW??
  • convert to pdf
  • "Warning, this file is really huge and may actually be a decompression bomb" lol, ok.
  • -> 515 KiB PDF, nice
  • ocrmypdf foo.pdf document.pdf
  • -> 194 KiB PDF
  • WHAT? HOW?!?
  • pdfimages -png document.pdf foo

Attacks in Russia and Uzbekistan: NetSupport RAT and potential IoT interest

Stan Ghouls, a cybercriminal group also known as Bloody Wolf, has been conducting targeted attacks against organizations in Russia, Uzbekistan, and other Central Asian countries since 2023. Their latest campaign primarily focused on Uzbekistan, with about 50 victims identified, along with 10 in Russia and a few others in neighboring countries. The attackers use spear-phishing emails with malicious PDF attachments to deliver a Java-based loader, which then installs the NetSupport remote access tool. The group targets manufacturing, finance, and IT sectors, possibly for financial gain and espionage. New evidence suggests Stan Ghouls may be expanding into IoT-based threats, as Mirai malware files were found on a server linked to their previous campaigns.

Introducing the Interim Relief Docket Stat Pack – SCOTUSblog

INTERIM DOCKET

Introducing the Interim Relief Docket Stat Pack

By Taraleigh Davis, Jan 28, 2026

Facebook LinkedIn X Email Print

For years, scholars and commentators have tracked the Supreme Court’s merits docket through detailed statistical analyses. SCOTUSblog’s Stat Pack has become an essential resource for understanding how the justices decide cases after full briefing and oral argument. But the court’s “other” docket, the interim relief docket – also known as the emergency or shadow docket – has received far less systematic attention.

Until now.

I’m proud to introduce the first Interim Relief Docket Stat Pack, a statistical portrait of the Supreme Court’s applications for the 2024-25 term (that is, from October 7, 2024, through October 5, 2025).

What’s included

I have been collecting data on applications for relief (beginning with the court’s 2000-01 term) for several years. Based on this data, the current Stat Pack covers 136 applications filed during the 2024-25 term. These break down into three categories: 49 capital cases (requests to stay or vacate executions), 32 refiled applications (cases denied in chambers and referred to the full court), and 55 of what I call substantive applications. Of the 55 substantive applications, six were deferred for oral argument, leaving 49 for statistical analysis. That final category includes challenges to lower court injunctions, often from the administration; administrative enforcement disputes; First Amendment conflicts; and federalism questions.

The Interim Relief Docket Stat Pack tracks how the justices voted on the interim docket and in what coalitions, the timing of such decisions, issue areas, who filed what, and much more – thus providing unprecedented insight into this docket. It also includes a Term Index, which is a complete case-by-case breakdown of these applications, including docket numbers, case names, outcomes, days to decision, and noted dissents.

Some key findings

During the 2024-25 term, the court granted relief in 53% of substantive applications, more than double the 23% grant rate from the previous term. At the same time, the justices publicly disagreed in 76% of substantive cases, far exceeding the pre-2014 average of 13.5%.

Perhaps predictably, the Trump administration dominated much of the docket, filing 27 of 55 substantive applications and obtaining relief in a striking 90% of these. Yet only 9% of the Trump cases were decided unanimously – with justices typically publicly disagreeing along ideological lines.

Additionally, the interim docket has (at least partly) emerged from the shadows: written opinions accompanied 31% of substantive applications, continuing the dramatic increase from near-zero during 2015-17 and 23% in 2023.

For many more findings, please check out the Stat Pack itself, which can be downloaded below.

As this docket continues to generate increased attention and influence, this Stat Pack should serve as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the nature of the current court.

- github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases (2026-02-04, Starting with this release, pandoc can be compiled to WASM, making it
possible to use pandoc in the browser. A full-featured GUI interface is provided at pandoc.org/app)

Pandoc est désormais utilisable via une application web officielle.

Attention, cliquer sur le lien ci-dessus implique de charger 50 Mo de données : normal, puisque la page contient tout Pandoc !

On parle ici d’un fantastique convertisseur de fichiers, que j’utilise personnellement pour rédiger confortablement tout mon travail dans un format texte adapté à mes besoins d’écriture scientifique et ensuite exporter mes fichiers dans différents formats (HTML, PDF via LaTeX, ODT, docx, EPUB…).

Pandoc s’utilise normalement en ligne de commande, un environnement qui fait parfois peur aux néophytes (ce qui m’avait motivé à écrire un tutoriel sur la découverte du terminal).

Ici, on a une interface web, réalisée grâce au format WebAssembly, donc zéro installation requise, mais aussi des exemples pré-chargés, et la garantie que rien ne s’échappe vers un serveur puisque la conversion se passe en local.

Voilà qui pourrait faciliter la découverte de Pandoc, pourquoi pas conjointement avec un guide comme celui de Christophe Masutti (libruniv-c29483.frama.io/)
