Another NEWAG train just stopped and a regional Polish operator is looking for someone to fix it. 😅
(news item is in Polish)
It also says the train is currently undergoing a routine servicing which makes it sound like this happened while at a competitor's workshop... again.

Tonight, we'll explore the WAD file format, the minimalist and elegant archive file format used in Doom, many FPS games, but also other unrelated softwares!

CISA: Closing the Software Understanding Gap
CISA, along with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD R&E), and the National Security Agency (NSA) published Closing the Software Understanding Gap (PDF) which urges the U.S. government to take decisive and coordinated action to close the software understanding gap. This gap arises from a disparity of technical investment where software production has outstripped investment in improving understanding for decades. By closing the software understanding gap, the United States will help mission owners and operators trust the system is functional, safe, and secure, and support confidence in national security and critical infrastructure systems.

The same content posted to Pornhub, with ~30k views, makes $1000. We spoke to her https://www.404media.co/why-this-onlyfans-model-posts-machine-learning-explainers-to-pornhub/

As you might imagine, recovering from rebuilding the Internet Archive systems from a new perspective took time, and the priority was super important systems, and ones merely "working" were left alone. But that's changed - we updated emulation at the Internet Archive so it's more secure, and the systems we're offering just added a few!

Any other gophers that use IDA Pro wanna help out?
