#Azure Public #IPv6 offerings are now free! With the cost of IPv4 now over USD 50, going to #IPv6-only makes commercial sense. Note this is not MS being generous; IPv6 addresses are essentially free -- I calculated a cost of 1/4000th of 1 US cent for my entire home allocation (256 subnets of 16 quadrilllion addresses each) https://sgryphon.gamertheory.net/2022/03/27/running-an-ipv6-only-host-redux/

I just published a new #IoT blog article on #PowerShell scripted deployment of a secure #MQTT server to #azure with #IPv6 support, using #Certbot certificates, on the #TelstraPurple blog: https://purple.telstra.com/blog/deploying-a-secure-mqtt-test-server-on-azure-with-ipv6
I've finished off my blog post series on #OpenTelemetry with #dotnet, on the #TelstraPurple blog, and how OTel is now built into the core of .NET. It includes a brief nod to Azure #iot Hub now having built in support for Trace Context.
Here is part 2 - https://purple.telstra.com/blog/instrumenting--net-with-opentelemetry
The full code is also up on Github: https://github.com/sgryphon/dotnet-distributed-tracing-examples
Yay! I passed the renewal for my #Azure #IoT Speciality. The content was mostly about the new #DigitalTwins features, which is the area I work in at #TelstraPurple, so it was not too hard (provided you know the material :-)
Looking for an update/replacement of an old version of Balsamiq for wireframe design and just came across @penpot which looks really promising, although I'd really like a sketchy / hand drawn style for lo-fi designs.
Haroon, a colleague at #TelstraPurple has recently write a short blog piece on the convergence of the physical and digital worlds, through #iot and #digitaltwins - in other words, the metaverse: https://purple.telstra.com/blog/convergence-of-the-physical-and-digital-worlds

For this first Mastodon Hour, the main topic will be "Help others find their reason to support free software." This is the theme of our spring fundraiser, which is going on now. Our secondary topic will be "decentralization and federation," and what better place to discuss this than on a decentralized service such as Mastodon!
I had a good time doing the RPGenesis jam a couple of years ago. It was timed exactly for when my wife and son would be out of town. I designed and wrote A Viricorne Guide in a week. It is the most publishable writing I've ever done in a week.
It is great that Abbey Mediaeval Festival is on again after disruptions the last few years. I'll be there on the Sunday. https://abbeymedievalfestival.com/
Nice. Espressif now have a dual-band (5GHz) Wi-Fi 6 system, although not sure what you would do with all that speed on an #iot device. https://www.espressif.com/en/news/ESP32-C5
