Yes, "routed GUA > NPTv6+GUA > NPTv6+ULA"

Buying a GUA to reserve the address space, but not actually routing it (i.e. using NPT from your ISP) -- instead of a ULA -- is a nice trick (and fixes precedence issues).

However if you accept this, then there is a case for ULA when buying a GUA is not feasible.

e.g. Container (or virtual machine) network that is created on the fly.

No real chance to buy a GUA.

Working in software dev, I may spin up a small local virtual network with a few endpoints.

For this scenario you may use NAT66 if the devices need to call out (or NAT64 as relevant).

More likely access may be through a reverse proxy, e.g. one of the containers is one the internal network + port mapped.

I guess I could buy a GUA and reuse it; but what about if I want to put up an example for others to download and run -- can't really have step 1 "buy a GUA".

Same for a default internal network for something like VMWare.

Your external network could be bridged (so use the IPv6 range from your main network), but what about a private network?

(Again, you could buy a GUA and use that, but that isn't a useful default)

The cases for ULA are small, but do exist.

#Social #Progress Index 2024 shows a slight decline for the latest year (2023), so when people say "it was better in the past", so long as they mean 2021 / 2022 and no earlier they are technically correct; of course we are still far better off than 2020 or earlier. Despite his blip, overall the world is still better than it used to be on almost any aspect you measure on needs, wellbeing, and opportunity. And #Australia is still one of the top 10 countries in the world. https://www.socialprogress.org/2024-social-progress-index/

@Tim_Eagon #CortexPrime, and maybe #SavageWorlds. In the past I would have said #BRP, but that is now available; also #ArsMagica has announced they will have an open licence soon.

Most of the good ones already have CC licence, e.g. forged in the dark, powered by the apocalypse, fate, gumshoe, d&d, etc. https://sgryphon.gamertheory.net/2022/06/open-source-alternatives-to-dungeons-dragons/

#aws #cdk adds out of the box support for creating #ipv6 network with level 2 constructs for dual stack VPC now merged. By default this will include IPv6 public networks, egress-only gateways for private networks (with end-to-end global addresses), and NAT64 routing for IPv6 only instances. When created as dual stack, automatic IPv4 public addresses are turned off to avoid costs as AWS will be charging for them from 01 Feb. I hope the new standard becomes dual stack, to avoid those costs, and start having IPv6 as the default. https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/pull/28480

Just wrote a #powershell script to send #matter #iot (#ipv6) commands to a Python Matter Server, trying to test if the Binding (0x001E) function on my #Zemismart in-line switch works, it didn't :-( https://github.com/sgryphon/iot-demo-build/blob/main/matter-thread/README-matter-thread.md

@molly0xfff copyright protects copying, it does not protect training. I can not copy works of art from others, but I can learn from their techniques, being inspired by them, etc. Otherwise no one who has ever read a book would be allowed to write one, as the writing techniques they learned would be illegal.

@jane_cates there was a lot of crap masquerading as #blockchain but the actual #opensource #distributedtrust (multi team) systems like #bitcoin and #ethereum are still going strong after 10-15 years, if you check their latest prices. But volatility is still too high, although probably no worse than some fiat currencies, and at least not controlled by a government.

@rivetgeek however using something like #creativecommons does make it easier for others to reuse your #cc #rpg because they *can* copy your words

Happy so far with my new kitchen day & night clock (prototype). Hopefully makes it easier to understand time vs sun (best to install on a southern wall).
