A tech story about train safety equipment

schneier.com/blog/archives/202…

In this case an insecure radio protocol used to communicate between the head and end of a railroad train. Secured by a simple checksum - a bad guy could stop trains by sending the appropriate signals.

Refers to a CISA advisory
cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advis…
which has a little bit more information.

Hacking Trains - Schneier on Security

Seems like an old system system that predates any care about security: The flaw has to do with the protocol used in a train system known as the End-of-Train and Head-of-Train.

Hi everyone,

I feel like a re-introduction is long overdue!

My name is Anna, and I'm an assistant professor of Algorithmics at the Delft University of Technology, specialising in combinatorial optimisation, symbolic AI, constraint programming, propositional model counting, operations research and reasoning under uncertainty.

I'm a nerd, a feminist and a traveller, not always in that order.

In my spare time I like to hike and go geocaching. I try to go swing dancing a few times a week. I am a Trekkie. I want to learn how to draw. I am an Indomie and Obsidian enthusiast. Based in the Netherlands, I miss Belgium, Canada and Singapore.

Since a job in academia somehow always is personal, I have chosen to mix professional interactions with the more personal ones on this platform. At least for now. Obviously, my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer yadiyadiyada.

Hope to keep interacting with you all!

From the article

So people are trying to say this (Epstein files) isn’t a big deal. People are trying to say nobody wants this Epstein information out. It’s an absolute misdirection.

This is horrifying. If it isn’t corrected, it threatens derailing Trump’s agenda, getting rid of his political capital. If this isn’t fixed, this might hang over Trump’s administration. It could be his Afghanistan going into the fall with Democrats still pounding away. How come you flip-flops on Epstein? And, in my opinion, there are some very easy fixes.

Another quiet day in the Roscoe-verse winds down.


 Another quiet day in the Roscoe-verse winds down.

Another quiet day in the Roscoe-verse winds down.

I was able to get a little yard work done this morning. We have a flower bed that runs across the full front of our house. At either end of that flower bed are two big bushes that can transform into hideous monsters if left unattended for too long. This morning I attended to both of them, pruning quite a bit of foliage. They look much more civilized now. And I was able escape into the house, under the a/c before the worst heat of the day came upon us.

The afternoon and evening found relaxing music playing in the background as I lightly followed news reports or quietly read through my prayers and devotions, etc., while waiting for tonight's Indiana Fever WNBA Game. And that game is now underway as I sit here at the keyboard. Midway through the 1st Quarter the score finds the New York Liberty leading my Indiana Fever 23 to 16.

And the adventure continues.

🚨EPSTEIN FILES Were Compromised to Frame the Innocent - Protect the Guilty - But Trump Already Knew! TRUMP CARD 🚨

Read carefully. You’re not juts watching a cover-up. You’re watching a counter-coup.

The Deep State cabal, spanning the Clinton, Obama, and Biden regimes knew exactly what was coming if Trump became President again.

They knew President Trump was coming back in 2024.
They knew they couldn’t rig the election again.
They knew the Epstein files would be released under his second term.

And they knew that the moment that happened…

The global house of cards would collapse.
Child trafficking. Blackmail. Intelligence operations.
The entire infrastructure behind the New World Order, gone!

So they did what snakes do when cornered:
They took a corrupted Epstein investigation and rewrote it.

They destroyed original evidence.
They planted new evidence to frame President Trump and other white hats.

They weaponized the narrative in advance.
So when Trump returned, the “evidence” would show he was guilty...

Not the real predators like Podesta, Clinton, Huma, Schiff, Schumer, and Obama.

But what they didn’t expect…
Was that Trump already knew.
He knew the investigation was tainted.
He knew the files were compromised.
He knew the deep state had an endgame strategy to flip the narrative against him.

So he played his Trump Card.

Epstein didn’t kill himself. He was placed into WITSEC under 18 U.S. Code § 3521.

That’s not a theory. That’s a strategic application of federal law.

Trump secured Epstein, flipped him as an informant, and moved him into Witness Protection to preserve the truth.

Why?

Because Trump didn’t need the corrupted evidence. He needed the source.

Epstein is the primary witness to the largest RICO investigation ever launched in U.S. history.
A sting operation that will dismantle:

-Elite trafficking networks
-Compromised intelligence agencies
-Globalist money laundering channels
-Fake NGOs and “human rights” fronts
-High-value political operatives from both parties

And now the enemy is panicking.
Enter: Ghislaine Maxwell.

A deep-state asset activated to run interference, the insurance policy.

She’s now demanding a deal to testify in front of Congress.

Why now?

Because they know Epstein flipped and they know hr is not dead.

They know the real investigation is closing in.
So they sent Ghislaine to corrupt the narrative again, apply pressure to inflame a psyop narrative.
To implicate Trump and protect the guilty.

But notice who she never names:

Not Podesta.
Not Hillary.
Not Huma.
Not Adam Schiff.
Because she’s working for them.

Remember President Trump and Matt Gaetz said they had a secret weapon in Congress! And Congress knows it. That’s why they’re pausing the release.

That’s why Trump calls this the “Russia, Russia, Russia” hoax all over again.

Because this is their Hail Mary.
They’re trying to burn the movement with a final, desperate lie.

But the trap has already been set.

The fake investigation will be exposed.
The real one will be revealed.
And the RICO takedown will be clean.

The Psychological Battlefield: Fake MAGA Assets Are the Real Threat

Now pay attention:

The Deep State knows they can’t stop Trump legally.
So they’re turning to perception warfare.

They’ve deployed infiltrators posing as “concerned patriots,” “truth seekers,” or “Trump skeptics.”

Their mission:
To sow doubt about Trump’s motives.
To weaponize the Epstein narrative against him.
To turn his base against him before the real drop lands.

These are not real influencers.
They are controlled assets, intelligence-linked accounts, or grifting opportunists.

Ask yourself:

Do they ever amplify Trump’s wins?
Do they ever highlight his record on trafficking takedowns?
Do they ever defend the movement?

Or do they only ever attack or sow doubt?

They use virtue-signaling and selective outrage.
They pretend to be red-pilled, but they’re just useful idiots or worse, intentional operatives.

Final Warning:

The cover-up is what gets them caught.
The compromised evidence was the setup.
The fake Epstein suicide was the misdirect.
The activation of Ghislaine is the desperation.
And the White Hat counter-RICO is the real plan.

The Trump Card is already on the table.

The greatest sting in modern history is unfolding.
And you’re being told exactly what’s happening…
If you have the eyes to see it.

Nothing can stop what is coming.

Trump isn’t just exposing them. He’s dismantling them-piece by piece.

And when the real Epstein evidence drops,
It won’t be a document.
It’ll be a testimony.

Ναι γειά σας, ήθελα απλά να πω ότι αυτός είναι ο Superman που αγαπήσαμε: η απεικόνιση ενός ιδανικού ήρωα, όχι αλάθητου, αλλά αμετακίνητου από την ηθική πυξίδα του. Αν δεν σας άρεσε, δεν σας αρέσει ο Superman γενικά.

I am loving watching the vibecoding bubble bursting and reforming in real time. It turns out it is ludicrously expensive to have humongous billion parameter models generate a whole library of code in a loop hundreds of times per hour rather than, you know, "writing code." Cursor's pricing model finally started to try and operate at less of a loss and people revolted since they could no longer autogenerate code for 8 hours solid, and now Amazon is trying to capture the runoff with a first-hit-free cursor replacement.

Very funny how, to me, FOSS is about creating a credible bulwark of power so that we aren't at the mercy of information giants, but for vibe coders it's like a "how can I get locked in and get got as deeply as possible" speedrun.

I saw the study that said AI slowed down experienced coders, doesn't surprise me all that much. It's a LOT of years since I've coded as a full time job, but I can imagine an amount of time reworking the AI's suggestions to your style and approach getting in the way.

As someone who now only codes occasionally when I need a small something or want to do a bit of an experiment I find GitHub Copilot really useful to get me started on things. Some of its suggestions are dumb, but it gives me a starting point I can improve on. Speeds me up heaps, but can see it would slow some people down.

People with almost no coding skills full on vibe coding for production use cases? Sure it might work sometimes, but who's going to maintain it, who's going to make sure it's secure, scalable, reliable etc?
