You should set up and run #NAT64 + #DNS64 in you #dualstack environment. Benefits are that it allows #IPv6 only devices a way to connect to IPv4 only servers, and provides valuable experience with IPv6, with no downsides. It does mean that dual stack devices will use NAT64 instead of NAT44, but you are still using NAT either way (and IPv4 devices always have to use NAT). See my article for more details and network diagrams https://sgryphon.gamertheory.net/2022/12/14/running-nat64-in-a-dual-stack-network/

@jheath I have not played it, but Ironsworn has some good reviews / ratings and reads okay. https://www.ironswornrpg.com/

@davey_cakes nice!

For a lucky combo check out the Gaxx Pack - March to Gary Con, first game (6th level) at 02:58:34 the death cleric marks the bad guy with Path to the Grave (vulnerability), then the Stars Druid upcasts Guiding Bolt and rolls a crit ...

Electric vehicles are now tax exempt (FBT) in Australia, meaning you can salary package them pre-tax for significant savings. It is only for 3 years at the moment, but that could save maybe 25% of the cost of the vehicle. The legislation was passed just in time for my new Tesla to arrive. https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_LEGislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=r6876

@tonic @ambihelical @freemo No. People use shortcuts all the time; it the only way to reasonably operate. But, bring evidence, with polite and respectful argument, and they may change. Applying a critical/skeptical mindset is something scientists do all the time, and is not "backpedaling".

And, ultimately it is a free world; that is the whole point of federation. If they just don't like you for some reason and still want to block you, that is their choice. They may lose members if they block to harshly, but that is up to them to make that mistake.

If everyone in the federation did the same thing, it would be pretty boring. Some people are just more cautious than others (e.g. put 10 innocent people in jail to ensure that 1 guilty person doesn't get away).

There is no reason to be rude about it, however. People are just different.

@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
