Wissing (liberals), is the type of lunatic, who boasts about "digitalization" and "innovation", praising "liberalization of telekom" and "shareholder value" [03:35] frog and Nancy Faeser (social democrats), that's the realm of "social justice" who would insist on labor union tarriffs for PHP coders hired by their departments, to create shiny web-sites for politicians [03:35] frog who couldn't distinguish the skill-set of such from telko engineering and management staff [03:37] frog meaning, sabotage or none, i fear the railway outage indicated severe problems, far worse than any investigation of them could reveal [03:38] frog currently all public TV and newspapers perpetuate the "sabotage" narrative, although no investigation report is available yet [03:39] frog because, too those public TV and newspapers are controlled and dictated by guess who? see above.

however, that's a misnomer because this confuses radio-band assignments with the type of telco-infrastructure [17:52] frog furthermore, the transition from 2G to 3G was "evolutional", with 2G packet-switched-data already existed too [17:53] frog that's how i see it, german-railway (and EU), chose to introduce digital-radio into railway-signalling a little late, in 2015, and it seems this wasn't finished yet 8 years later [17:54] frog meaning a fully deployed digital-radio system into railway-infrastructure, if finished lets say in year 2025 in Europe, will be obsolete already 10years later in 2035 [17:55] frog swiss railway were among the first who tested GSM-R and ETCS since year 2003, and almost 20years later deployment was not finished with exploding costs for this ● Oct 16 [18:01] frog in switzerland many base-station controllers of GSM-R are not redundant, and with an outage roaming into public GSM is implemented [18:01] frog however, i am not sure, if most recent mobile base stations would always support 2G, since this was "deprecated" for public use [18:02] frog given all the facts, the entire reporting an act of sabotage cutting two cables could have caused a GLOBAL railway system outage in germany, that's not plausible [18:03] frog it was year 2004 when i did a traineeship in Vienna, "core network operations" of t-mobile there, it was not a successfull traineeship for various reasons [18:03] frog including the fact, i was that tired, i could barely keep my eyes open at that time [18:04] frog which was one reason, among many others, to quit with telekom, almost 20years ago already [18:05] *psydroid2 (~psydroid@h635kpe3hju7k.irc) has joined #techpol [18:07] frog seems to me, the whole "5G" advertising and marketing, which some rumors exist this will be it, the digital future in railway too, that's a last desperate move [18:10] frog besides i too remember the situation when "mobile number portability" together with "intelligent network" extensions were hacked into 2G GSM infrastructure [18:11] frog the packet-switched-radio too seemed to be a hack, to push 2G beyond what it was designed for: circuit-switched-data synchronous [18:12] frog ironically, railway intends to rely upon on packet-switched data, otherwise bandwith was insufficient [18:13] frog the "ALL-IP" approach too seems confusing, because MAS90 and many others relied upon X.25 [18:28] frog good news is, german railway is operational still; it is expensive, i couldn't afford travel with it [18:33] frog Finland and Russia rejected GSM-R and chose TETRA (which is a TDMA too) [18:40] frog however Finland and Russian railway probably are less crowded and jammed than german railway [18:41] frog in parallel, they already plan for 5G FRMCS (future railway mobile communication system) [18:43] frog meaning then there will be several different variants: the many different ETCS compliance levels with GSM-R not yet fully deployed in EU after 20years and planned for obsolescence 2035 already, the old MAS90 (X.25) and DBMAS (TCP/IP) system in germany in parallel to GSM-R/ETCS, TETRA based systems in Finland and Russia, and FRMCS (5G) [18:45] frog and i don't know how many systems may or may not operate in parallel, because TETRA too is chosen by some critical infrastructure operators and police in germany, while railway chose ETCS/GSM-R and whatever MAS90/X.25 are used for nowadays [18:55] frog i see, occasionally trains collided in german railway system, several reports of this [18:56] frog sort of CSMA/CD, carrier sens multiple access, collision detection [18:58] frog anyway, i say, collisions on railway MUST NEVER occur, NEVER, and there was more than one incident reported [18:58] frog and this indicates a SYSTEMIC FLAW, not some "accident" ● Oct 16 [19:00] frog trains which collided [19:01] frog although, the recent GLOBAL railway system outage in germany, didn't cause any collision, because trains were halted for 3hours [19:04] XRevan86 https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2022/10/16/ukraine-occupation-government-of-kherson-region-starts-evacuation-of-state-bodies-to-crimea-en-news "Ukraine: occupation government of Kherson region starts evacuation of state bodies to Crimea" [19:04] -TechPolBot/#techpol-novayagazeta.eu | . [19:09] frog i am less concerned about the 3hours halt itself, than the indication of the systemic flaws in this system [19:10] frog same with train-collisions, even when tragic, the indication of fundemental systemic flaws is the relevant aspect [19:10] frog it doesn't suffice to prevent collisions only, the systemic flaws must be removed [19:11] frog and those systemic flaws are long-term and wide-spread up into the realm of higher intellect of german politics [19:13] frog to my understanding the railway system is a ring-topology, with trains joining and living rings [19:14] frog and it is necessary to distinguish physical and logical topology, even when both implement a ring-topology [19:15] frog such as a simple mono-rail track is a ring [19:15] frog with the cut cables, i suspect, the ETCS compliance level 2 was attacked, and caused a total outage of a big ring, many smaller rings are attached to [19:16] frog the ring topology is too known with add-drop multiplexers in telco-backbone [19:17] frog difference being, those rings are controlled by SS7 signalling, and data-packets (to be precise channel time-slots) can be dropped and/or re-routed, in the milli-seconds range for fail-over switching [19:18] frog that's why it is irritating, because railway chose GSM-R (2G) which is exactly this technology, designed for redundancy and fail-over switching [19:18] frog you know, i am not as smart as them, i am living on paychecks with 1.5Euro/hour here [19:20] frog and my argument is this, railway system or telekom or any other such do not require any act of sabotage, it suffices to do nothing [19:21] frog federal police and state attorney said they had not received a letter of intent yet, well, and why would anyone need to cut cables in half to sabotage german railway system to accomplish total outage?
