New at my Patreon... Fun fact: tourists could once scale Mt Vesuvius – an active volcano – by rail. And this 19th century funicular inspired a famous jaunty song...

Sometimes when people who don’t like trains say ‘what? 18h? You can drive it in 8’, I say yes but that’s 10h of not riding a train; which sucks.

That confuses them.

Ha, first time in years I've aimed to catch a train on the Glev Waverley line, and it's just been bustituted due to some kind of truck collision. Switched to Lilydale line instead, can switch to the 72 tram southbound rather than northbound (I'm visiting someone between the two lines).

A photo of a building that almost looks like a castle. The roof is very pointy, and it has a tower.


Does anyone know what it means exactly that #DeutschlandTicket is no longer accepted in paper form?

Does e-paper count as paper?

Weiß jemand, was es eigentlich heißt, dass der #Deutschlandticket nicht mehr auf Papier gültig wird?

Zählt e-papier als papier?

38C3: Lawsuits are Temporary [Glory is Forever].

The last year, 37C3 covered how a group of hackers discovered code that allegedly bricked public trains in Poland when they went into service at a competitor’s workshop. This year, the same group is back with tales of success, lawsuits and appearances in the Polish Parliament.

You’re not going to believe this, but it’s hilarious.

The short version of the story is that [Mr. Tick], [q3k] and [Redford] became minor stars in Poland, have caused criminal investigations to begin against the train company, and even made the front page of the New York Times. Newag, the train manufacturer in question has opened several lawsuits against them.

The lawsuit alleges the team is infringing on a Newag copyright — by publishing the code that locked the trains, no less! If that’s not enough, Newag goes on to claim that the white hat hackers are defaming the company.

What I found fantastically refreshing was how the three take all of this in stride, as the ridiculous but incredibly inconvenient consequences of daring to tell the truth. Along the way they’ve used their platform to speak out for open-sourcing publicly funded code, and the right to repair — not just for consumers but also for large rail companies. They are truly fighting the good fight here, and it’s inspirational to see that they’re doing so with humor and dignity.

If you missed their initial, more technical, talk last year, go check it out on media.ccc.de. And if you ever find yourself in their shoes, don’t be afraid to do the right thing. Just get a good lawyer.

#Polish #Hackers Repaired #Trains the Manufacturer Artificially Bricked. Now The Train Company Is Threatening Them
#NEWAG put code in the control systems that prevented them from running if a #GPS tracker detected that it spent a certain number of days in an independent #repair company’s maintenance center, and also prevented it from running if certain components had been replaced without a manufacturer-approved serial number. https://www.404media.co/polish-hackers-repaired-trains-the-manufacturer-artificially-bricked-now-the-train-company-is-threatening-them/ #righttorepair
