@jadp @ashwrites don't fall into the trap of thinking local networks are safe (eggshell networks). A firewall is probably stronger security than your wifi password. Best to always use well-established security, e.g. Matter. (And consumer devices have different use cases than commercial, e.g. they must allow local physical override for ownership transfer.)
@morax@satanodon.com you forgot "Let's have a music battle"
@LALegault I'm a moderate, i.e. I will "use a gun to build a library", but will try an explanation.
The objection is when a service is forced on you without choice, at the threat of people with guns.
Now maybe teaching children, providing protection services (including long term provisions), and management coordination of infrastructure (?) offers value to people. But if it does offer value, then they would be willing to pay for it, and so it wouldn't need provision by the state in the first place.
When the state provides it has very poor mechanisms for determining how much value, so may be over provided. Maybe we need 100 teachers, but the state provides 105, so 5 are an unnecessary waste of resources. (The reverse is also true, they can under provide.)
So, while not 100% leech, because I think most of those things are valuable to most people, so would have been provided anyway, a hardcore is going to exaggerate the scenario. As do both the left and right of politics, to emphasise their point.
@jstangroome time to move to #ipv6 ??

As a Blind person i never thought i would be on social media savoring photos. But the communal Mastodon alt text game is so strong that sweet, poetic or silly descriptions abound on my timeline. Thanks to legions of people who take time to write a meaningful description of the ephemera they post, i learn so much about insects, plants, buildings, memes — all dispatches from a dimension of the world that i otherwise wouldn't experience. If you're wondering whether anybody reads these things: YES.
@info the Starving Artist trope, i.e. the claim that art can't exist without copyright, is easily debunked.
Art existed for millennia before copyright (1710), and we celebrate many pre-copyright artists as great masters. Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Vermeer, Shakespeare, Vivaldi, Bach.
Very happy that #YouTubeMusic has arrived on my #Tesla. #YTM is one of the few services that allows you to upload your own music files (inherited from their old Google Play Music). I will still use #TuneIn, for stations like #GothvilleRadio (http://gothville.com/), but the other services were just too repetitive and limited in what they would play.
@simon_brooke sorry, like all provenance systems you need to trust the operators; the end user needs to care (do you currently lack confidence in reusable containers), and you need broad refusal of un-validated items, and full chain of custody otherwise it falls back to trust everyone. E.g. operator A fills with virgin olive oil, B buys and swaps for cheap, then on sells to C, D, E. E thinks they got something they didn't (last blockchain is A).
Even with full chain, if B can still sell in unmarked containers, they can profit, i.e. end consumers need to care enough to refuse, e.g. diamonds (or high value luxury handbags), not recycled containers.
@CarlosCD the one with the moon (what it looks like) is more visually interesting with different colour areas, for the overall picture.
If the focus is just the character, then keep the background plain (no moon).
Thank you #AirVPN for providing reliable #ipv6 #vpn services with your #Eddie client. https://airvpn.org/
@malin the term Oracle is often used in GM-less games with a more traditional structure for the tables and random elements that replace the GM, e.g. rolling monster actions/ attacks (although not all GM-less games have this structure).
It also makes sense as the GM for a game if on theme.

Workaround Steps:
1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment
2. Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory
3. Locate the file matching `C-00000291*.sys`, and delete it.
4. Boot the host normally.

The British Library is doing a few talks inspired by the 50th anniversary of D&D.
This one has Ian Livingstone (Fighting Fantasy, Games Workshop/White Dwarf, Domark/Eidos) talking about the early years of #RPG gaming.

Added Rowan, Rook & Decard to Libreture's list of DRM-free bookshops. 💜
Publishers of Eat The Reich, Die, Heart, Spire, Honey Heist, Unbound, Goblin Quest, and many other tabletop games, their mission is to create awesome moments through exciting, beautiful, clever games.
@mrundkvist (via ChatGPT): I decide to proceed with caution. I move silently towards the door on the right, pressing my ear against it to listen more closely to the voices. I want to gather as much information as possible before making any decisions. If the voices are discussing something valuable or revealing their identities and intentions, it might help me plan my next move. I ensure my weapon is ready, just in case I need to defend myself.
What do I hear behind the door?

For prototyping I can recommend @penpot. No AI and it's free to use.
You can self-host it, because it is free as in open source. And beer. And freedom.

@stubbornella one more reason for all #Figma users to give the OpenSource @penpot a try instead
A good #dualstack network should still run #dns64 and #nat64, so that it can fully support #ipv6 only devices and allow them a way to connect to legacy (ipv4) internet sites. https://sgryphon.gamertheory.net/2022/12/running-nat64-in-a-dual-stack-network/
@laren It certainly makes shelving them easier.
My guess is something to do with the size of a sheet of paper, e.g. for a character sheet ... and using A4 in Australia made things slightly awkward with mostly US made books.
While my majority fit the usual size profile, Cthulhu, Pendragon, books across various editions of Dungeons & Dragons, Ars Magica, Amber, Castle Falkenstein.
I also have a decent half shelf of smaller size that I actually prefer - Savage Worlds, FATE, Blades in the Dark, Dungeon World, Burning Wheel, Fiasco, Cortex, Polairs, Microscope.
Then there are the weird size box sets that don't fit anywhere like Mouse Guard, Everyway.
