@JohnWSheldon most have some form of advancement.

Cortex, e.g. Firefly, is fairly flat, as most advancements just give additional options, but options themselves are very neutral, e.g. "upgrade X for the scene by downgrading Y". A lot of advancement is the same, e.g. increase stat A by decreasing B.. Past experience can grant bonuses, but it is limited.

Pendragon spans multiple generations, and while characters advance, when they die their young child takes over (kind of a reset).

Polaris: Chivalric Tragedy at Utmost North has two pairs of attributes: Ice & Fire, and Zeal & Weariness. As you gain experience Ice/Fire goes up and Zeal goes down (or Weariness, a negative, goes up). Usage varies during game, but a roll of Ice+Zeal might start at 1+4, but then after level up be 2+3. Transformation rather than advancement.

#IPv6 is now > 50% in the USA, from Google stats. Worldwide it is ~40%, and growing 5% per year. Australia is only about 30%. https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption

Wow, it's like a bunch of lemmings @pawelpabich, @jstangroome, @rbanks54
At least @adrian was a few months ahead of the crowd (and @damianm has been here longer than I have)
I just want to know how @tatham has 140 posts and 216 followers in just 30 days!

#Thread and #Matter are almost here; my #SmartHome Google Nest Hub Max is broadcasting a Thread mesh network, and I have an #Eve smart plug ready to update the firmware on Dec 12. In the meanwhile, my latest blog post on #SmartBuildings and setting up a test #OpenThread border router is up: https://purple.telstra.com/blog/running-an-openthread-border-router

@georgetakei the Mastodon app has been banned in the past because it lets you connect to servers that don't have rules; but by that logic, email allows you so send/receive bad emails, and browsers allow you to visit bad sites.

List of #IPv6 services in Azure (from May this year): https://msandbu.org/ipv6-support-in-microsoft-azure/

I generally use Azure virtual servers, which support dual stack, with a public IP (which supports IPv6).

@f4grx @nova@hachyderm.wtf "since the public keys are not in signed certificates" -- so that means you know it is the same person (or someone with access to the key), but have no third party attestation who that person is. (DNS is a kind of attestation, as it means "controller of this DNS record", which is what Let's Encrypt is based on).

So, it depends on what you are trying to authenticate? That they are the same person as last time, that they control the domain "northpole.com", or that they really are Santa Claus?

@ssfckdt remember #libertarians are #notonyourside - they conflict with both the #left and #right - but they also align on many things, e.g. happy for decentralisation to include #socialist mutuals (but also allow the other side). However history has many socialist experiments ending in central control, i.e. not content with their own mutual, they want to force/shut down others (hint: it doesn't work, they go underground).

I just find it weird that Musk wants to make Twitter open source and connected, and that made people jump ship to the fediverse (which is open source and connected). I think the acceleration is a good thing, just strange.
