We are going to #OzComicCon this weekend and taking our daughter and some of her friends; one of the parents offered me petrol money, but I drive an #EV ... so that doesn't work as there is no petrol :-)

Looks like Meta is going to get that distinction, if they complete the integration of Threads.

Really enjoyed the #ragnarok urban fantasy series on #netflix set in Norway, that just finished with season 3.

One suggestion though is stop at season 3 episode 5, which I thought was a good ending. #urbanfantasy

Do not watch the alternate ending in season 3 episode 6, at least not immediately. In my opinion it was weak, inconsistent and completely negated a lot of character development and plot lines.

The rest of the show is great. Stop at S3E05.

@controlc yeah, it is a bit silly. They should just allocate a /64 on demand (and be able to supply more time than the entire IPv4 address space).

The public addresses are meant for individual allocation to public services, hence the limit. For actual networks, you can just assign your own ULA ranges.

At least public IPv6 is now free, so you can get as many /16 ranges as you want.

@UnderEu @nygren it is not necessarily hard coded literals, but more likely coding assumptions that there is only IPv4, e.g. C++ insufficient memory allocation, etc.

Especially seems to fail with DNS64, where they may have made a seemingly reasonable assumption that they only publish IPv4 address, so a DNS resolve will get that address.

Bad assumption: for the usual NAT44 that address is fine, but for NAT64 it will resolve to an IPv6 address, which is probably where the code fails.

Same underlying issue, i.e. assuming IPv4 when it is not, so 464XLAT can fix it... but it means setting up an IPv4 island in the middle of your network, which is not ideal.

@mark22k IPv6 is a software/network stack issue, nothing to do with hardware; i.e. works with standard shields, see: https://github.com/njh/EtherSia

@konahart generally playbooks for FitD are not meant to be classes, so you can generally mix and match powers as needed (maybe talk to the GM).

Also, have you read the Stormlight Archives? One of the main character matches your trope (but they do use mystical powers).

@tchambers you all realise that on the fediverse, blocking the account is the only option you are guaranteed, right?

X gives you additional options, like complain.

But where you are right now, block is the way

@georgetakei Post appears to be a walled garden, not open like the Fediverse, or even the plain Web. Maybe try something like WordPress, that does support ActivityPub, and can be any length you want.

Spent the day in a #reenactment camp at #AbbeyMedievalFestival today. Lots of crowds, although I think they capped the numbers at 10,000 (& sold out). #medieval

At encampment, at Abbey Mediaeval Festival (Brisbane, Australia)

@HowardTayler why would you do that?

The whole point of federation (once they activate it) is that you can chat/follow without having to create a new account on each service.

Like, if you already have a personal email, do you also sign up for Outlook, Gmail, etc?

Signing up a new account at Threads is pointless. You should use your current Fediverse account and interact via federation. (When they add it, of course)

@freemo signing up just to compare is okay, but I'm not signing up to #threads
because the entire point of federation is so that you don't need a separate account everywhere. (Once they actually enable federation)

As for the commotion it seems weird and a lack of understanding what federation means.

Like what does it matter if you are using a small/your own email server if Gmail joins the email system.

They aren't going to start sending you spam (that would get them blocked).

But it does mean you can now send messages to and from people you know on that system, with no down sides.

Having the #Freedom for each person to choose if they want an ad free small server, or a big player that might have a slicker interface/search (but has adverts), while still being able to communicate with each other is a good thing.
