#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).

@ike the Reserve Bank has an explicit inflation target. The use monetary policy to set the official cash rates, which influences commercial lending rates, which indirectly affects the economy and prices, to achieve the inflation they want.

You can read the official government details here: https://www.rba.gov.au/inflation/inflation-target.html

Effectively, if inflation is high, they raise the rate to dampen the economy; and if inflation is too low (e.g. below 2%), they lower the rate to stimulate the economy. I don't think it is very effective, nor like the degree of government , interference in the market, but it is what it is.

The government does not directly dictate prices, but they do manipulate markets so the overall average inflation is 2-3%.

@b4ux1t3 have a look at https://anydice.com/ - I use it some of my mechanics analysis, e.g. https://sgryphon.gamertheory.net/2020/10/3d6-is-not-less-swingy-than-d20/

@georgetakei in Australia at least, inflation exists because of the government. They have an explicit 2-3% target and manipulate cash rates. They could target zero, but instead they explicitly cause inflation.
