Last Notes npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX So if Bremen-Harburg is possible in 41 minutes (see ICE202 today), why is it scheduled for 57? That seems a lot of slack. #Bahnbubble npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…y789 Would a tram line work? As you could at least use the existing roads for dual use. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX #Silentsunday npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX In almost 25 years as a civil servant I have never felt the need to strike. The responsibility for keeping the country running always was too big. But to keep the line of the previous government and force civil servants - many of whom work in low paying jobs in prisons, customs, cleaning or water management - to forego ANY price compensation (nullijn in dutch) is such an affront that I had to join my colleagues in Rotterdam. Glad to live in a country where this kind of union action is allowed! #joinaunion #stopdenullijn npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…nhhd @nprofile…y789 So how is that 4 hours of comfort further defined? Are there standards or guidelines for this? npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…4rya @nprofile…cy5p 1970-01-01 is the first date (Unix)computers start to count from and as such a system often falls back to it when no data is available. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…y789 I can imagine! I got a warm welcome by about 100 security staff when coming home: https://nos.nl/artikel/2604931-grote-verrassingscontrole-op-zwartrijders-in-de-trein-bij-voorburg npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…y789 Good travels! FYI you have skipped train 24 in your reporting here, probably due to the late time. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…y789 Also, if passengers want one ticket it already exists in the market: Interrail. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…y789 @nprofile…4j24 As long as the Lelylijn saga has not been finished yet, there is less than zero appetite in the Netherlands to develop completely new rail infrastructure (and they’re not foreseen in spatial planning either). npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…y789 @nprofile…4j24 Everybody seems to interpret it as new tracks; I have pointed towards it being developing an Eindhoven-Breda-Brussels direct route (possibly by rerouting the EC to Eindhoven instead of Rotterdam). More important, the announcement (see my earlier links) also announces bilateral discussions with regard to all time favourite Weert-Hamont and Maastricht-Hasselt. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…y789 You saw Rotterdam. All process, few people. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…lxup If not in a hurry they could exit Bern towards the Wabern line and join the main line just before Thun. Speedrestricted to 80/100km/h so they’d loose half an hour it seems. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…lxup My instance is trying to fetch a preview and failing. Can't find any errorlogs. If I 'view in browser' on original gruene.social instance, it shows what appears to be the right preview. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…ut8x @nprofile…fcgt Hoe doet allecijfers.nl dat dan? Want die schijnen wel zoiets te hebben: allecijfers.nl/postcodekaart. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…lxup That does improve your chances with the previous train doesn’t it? npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…lxup The Prorail piece shows a good understanding of the issues on NL-side. The main point I'm missing is that the potential of Eindhoven-Venlo-Mönchengladbach could be vastly improved by double-tracking Kaldenkirchen-Dürken. Nothing Prorail can do about that but pushing dialogue (something NL is traditionally notoriously bad at, see Betuweroute) npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…lxup HW doesn't look too good though: business case would need to be local, especially if there's going to be a direct Eindhoven-Antwerpen train via Breda. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…lxup Some nuggets. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…lxup Some international train news from the Netherlands (report dump): https://berthub.eu/tkconv/document.html?nummer=2025D45561 npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…ut8x Heb je iets van bezoekerslogs waar je met IP-geolocation eventueel iets mee zou kunnen? Dat zou je dan kunnen vergelijken met stembureaudata, misschien op gemeenteniveau. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…lxup There are still the requests from Trenitalia daughter Qbuzz (2023) to run Amsterdam-Paris (https://www.acm.nl/system/files/documents/melding-nieuwe-passagiersdienst-per-spoor-door-qbuzz-amsterdam-parijs_1.pdf), Amsterdam-Frankfurt (https://www.acm.nl/system/files/documents/melding-nieuwe-passagiersdienst-per-spoor-door-qbuzz-amsterdam-frankfurt.pdf) and Amsterdam-Berlin (https://www.acm.nl/system/files/documents/melding-nieuwe-passagiersdienst-per-spoor-door-qbuzz-amsterdam-berlijn.pdf). npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…ut8x Pas echt bij de centrale uitslag natuurlijk. Valt me wel tegen dat het formulier geen plusteken accepteert in het email adres - valse verificatie? Waar kan ik dat melden? npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…lxup Do you dare cross it? npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…lxup Datapoint. Freilassing border check and the only PoC in my (1st class) carriage is NOT checked - possibly due to being with a colourless friend? npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…lxup Extra capacity good, though it probably won’t lead to lower prices! npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…lxup Do these TGV-M as ordered offer more seats than the current PBA/PBKA? npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…54sy Please correct. There is no practical antifa ban in the Netherlands. While a parliamentary motion calling for the government to do so did get a majority a couple of weeks ago, this does not have any legal status. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 @nprofile…0zdp There even appears to be some kind of remembrance plaque! npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 @nprofile…0zdp There appear on my satellite photo to be five meters of rail left just north of Middelburg, so what’s the deal here? 😂. Have a good day! npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 It reached number 8 in the French single charts, so did reasonably well. Set it aside for me, memories! npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 Or even access to this practical experience? Cc @nprofile…f6cv npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 @nprofile…09up @nprofile…7w66 Good post, you’re right that this needs to be addressed such that operators are forced to actually strengthen the resilience of their time tables and always run one more train 😂. (You did read in the confirmation email that you can edit your submission until the deadline?) npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…v782 Nimm's bitte nicht persönlich, du kannst das wahrscheinlich nicht ändern. Doch meine Versuche deine Geschenklinks zu benutzen sind bis jetzt hier geendet: bei einem Popup 'Zahle mit Tracking oder mit Geld'. Da hört bei mir der Klick auf, tut mir leid! (Der Geschenklink sollte - als Geschenk(!) den Artikel ohne Tracking anzeigen, meiner Meinung nach,.) Ist ja sonst wie die Gratis-Bücher des Bücherclubs wobei dann minimal ein Jahr bezahlt werden musste. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…wuyc @nprofile…uafq I used a combination of https://github.com/cybrespace/cybrespace-meta/blob/master/s3.md, https://mshore.dev/posts/2023/01/11/migrating-mastodon-to-s3/ and https://jasminchen.dev/articles/2024/migration-to-hetzner-s3/ to move our storage to hetzner-buckets.

Als het giften aan jou en dan verder waren geweest had het wel gekund, maar dit scheelt jou wel kopzorgen! npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…grza Dag Aad, dank voor het organiseren en de uitgebreide terugkoppeling! Goed geregeld zo! Mogelijk kun je nagaan of je de gift (Vluchtelingenwerk is een ANBI) nog van je belasting kunt aftrekken, waardoor er misschien volgend jaar nog een toetje voor de goede doelen inzit ;). npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 When was HOTNAT introduced? I distinctly remember missing a Thalys somewhere end of 2007 with a heavily pregnant @nprofile…rcdp and being allowed onto the next one, which was overfull. They may have lost that humanity since. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX And yes, this does mean extra effort. I've had to call instead of chat. But flooding the systems that feed management decisions seems to be a way to at least influence a bit. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX One thing I've started to do is everytime an AI-agent doesn't quite get my request right, is to lodge a formal complaint about it. That influences the stats, and management acts on that (only). npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…87j2 Great idea and good to see the mendeddrum.org listed (though only with its legacy number, not the current ipv6 one)! Analogous to phone books, maybe next year you can propose a standard of anonymous-DNS for those sites not wishing to be published? npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX If you want to join me and @nprofile…c5n8 for a #CrossChannelRail meetup in The Hague tomorrow, meet me (with a bike) around 17.45 at the back entry of Den Haag HS,. We'll inspect HS, do a short bike ride, inspect Centraal and then meet up for a drink at MingleMush near Den Haag CS from around 18.45, so you can join us there as well! (cc @nprofile…e6mm @nprofile…0r8y @nprofile…tddn @nprofile…2wkr) Note: MingleMush only do reservations for larger groups, so we'll have to find our own place. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 From the lights it looks to be pointed eastwards, so departure towards Orange? npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 The pictures were taken on voie 1 or what is labelled as such on open railmap. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 @nprofile…2wkr @nprofile…z8v6 Afaik it is an obligation in their concession. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 @nprofile…zv7q Looks like it's at 48°44'46.7"N 16°23'32.8"E npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 A note on the compulsory reservation: for now - and this may change when the train gets more popular - it isn't a big barrier. I am right now able to book a €29 ticket (reservation included) for the 18:38 service (thus leaving in about two hours). That availability of tickets - fuelled by the 598 seats - does make a difference! npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…p4mx There is: https://www.seat61.com/international-trains/trains-from-Brussels.htm#Brussels-Turkey npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 Ah, ok. Been on diverted ICE that had Venlo listed as a stop but it didn’t - just for power switching apparently. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 Navigator says extra stop in Eindhoven for boarding - but does it? npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX On my way to meetup with @nprofile…c5n8 in Kortrijk - of course not on a direct route. Took the train to Vlissingen (which left HS a minute before the kiosk opened, so no coffee), and got a perfect intermodal change onto the Westerschelde Ferry. That even waits if the train is delayed! npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 Just watched the first part of the Riedbahn documentary. Bahn people being very self critical, at least for a marketing flick… not too bad. There may still be hope. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 As far as I can see you’re not overestimating but describing from practice. You can concede the point about airtrips as being not relevant to a sustainable lifestyle. npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…4az6 @nprofile…nkff Nog iets bijzonders: het labeltje ‘strategisch adviseur’ hoort volgens het functiegebouw rijk bij S15/16. Daaronder mag je het doen met Coördinerend/Specialistisch adviseur (S13/S14/S15). https://www.functiegebouwrijksoverheid.nl/functiegebouw/functiefamilies/advisering Dus hoe die functiewaardering hier nu tot stand is gekomen… npub144xparnwus4payvg7r0ztgqszmtmrxzkut936e69j48q6vs6enwshrppnj Patrick Dersjant RCX @nprofile…c5n8 Add The Hague Centraal to investigate whether secure facilities could be made there?
